14 DAY TRIAL // This summer shorts are back in fashion and all of us ladies searching for a fresh summer look should definitely consider buying at least a comfortable pair for the day and a stylish pair with a more elegant cut for evening wear. The good news is that shorts are a good option for almost any height and body shape, as long as you choose the right cut and length. Shorts provide a nice alternative to wearing a shirt and the most fashionable combination you could make is pairing a smartly-tailored pair of shorts that stop just above the knee with a top that hits at the hip and a pair of wedges. Add some chunky wooden jewelry and you're all set for a fun day out with your friends.
Shorts with a straight leg cut are the most figure-flattering choice if you have wider hips, as they will draw attention away from them and direct it to the lower half of your legs. The golden rule is to avoid showing too much skin, particularly if you're wearing the shorts to work or in a more formal context, where you want to avoid looking like you just stepped off the beach. Wear the shorts with a long sleeve, billowy blouse or tunic. If you're petite, create the illusion of longer legs by going for shorts with a shorter hemline and add a pair of high heels for extra elevation. If you're tall, choose a pair of mid-thigh or knee-length shorts and go for neutral colors that match your skin tone.
If you're not particularly proud of your belly and feel your midriff needs some extra sessions in the gym, wear shorts that are tapered and cut sharply. Add a loose-fitting top such as a tunic, a smock top or a camisole in order to balance your proportions. One rule that applies to all women but particularly to the slimmer ones is to try and avoid hot pants - the ultra-tight, minuscule shorts made famous by Kylie. Bermuda shorts, loose boxy shorts, cargo and knee length denim shorts are all in. Choose wisely and benefit from all the advantages bestowed on us by the summery shorts.
