The Best Shorts For Your Body Type



Not every woman is created the same. We all come in different shapes and sizes and we may not always know how to dress our body shape.

Here are a few points to help in finding the best shorts for your body type.

Pear-Shape
A Bermuda inspired style is best for this body shape. When choosing shorts, it’s a good idea to keep it structured and simple. Stay away from pockets, waistband details, pleats and drawstrings. You want shorts that skim over the hips not hugs them.

Hourglass Shape
High-waisted shorts are great for this body shape. Another great style is roomy shorts that skim your curves and don’t emphasize them more than you need them to.

Inverted Triangle
A wide leg short can help bring balance to your figure. Flare leg styles and ‘A line’ styles are also flattering. Choose shorts that stop at your upper thighs with a low waisted style, this will draw the attention away from your shoulders.

Apple Shape
Stick with shorts that are above the knee to avoid looking stubby. Choose flat front, never pleated shorts that are a lower rise than your natural waist. Pockets in the front and back are also great on apple shapes.
