Choose The Right Shorts For Your Shape

Beauty : Style Guide

As summer is coming up, its time to get out those shorts to keep cool during the hot summer days. Here's some tips on how to choose the best style for your body shape.

If you are petite, go for shorter shorts as these will elongate your legs and help you look taller.

Taller women should opt for longer shorts to help make you look shorter. Or roll up or uffed Hem style shorts as these help break up the long line of your legs, and add curves.

Hourglass figures need to go for designs that arent too narrow in the leg so dont go for tight ones. However, to contrast this, if you want to make a major impact, wear heels with super skinny shorts, as this look can sometimes be pulled off. Go with whatever works for you.

Those who dont like showing off your legs are better off choosing knee length shorts. They can be very figure flattering. You get to hide your flaws and still stay cool. Result!

Women with larger upper thights are best in classic shorts which can sometimes be called walking shorts. They are mid length and have approx a 7 inch inseam. Make sure they are structured and straight from the thigh down. Avoid any with cargo pockets, pleats and embellishments as this highlights the area.

Curvier women should opt for a baggier pair of shorts and stay away from prints and patterns.

Pear or rounded shapes best suit a relaxed fit, but the length you should go for depends on your legs. Wear a longer top or one that flares out slightly to add a bit of balance to your body.
