The skinny on shorts.....


Shorts are a tough purchase to make. I am devoting this post on shorts that are ok for those that don't necessarily have matchstick thighs. These are some options that are universally flattering.

1. Gap Bermuda Shorts Wearing a darker, more relaxed fit of shorts creates a slim look. Pair these with a gray deep v-neck t-shirt and nude wedges for a casual and comfy look.

2. Old Navy Shorts A trick with shorts is to buy one size up and wear them slung more on your hips so that they don't squeeze your mid-section or upper thigh. These would look great with a bright camisole or neon skinny belt.

3. Jcrew If you are comfortable with a shorter short, a patterned style is another way to look slim. Again, I would advise going a size up and wearing these more on your hips with a loose tee on top. These would look great with a simple white v-neck or navy blue tank.

4. Banana Bermuda Short
I have owned a few Banana Republic Bermuda Shorts and they do fit a curvier behind. Also, these are more dressy. So, I would wear with a flowy silk top and shoes with a heel. If you pair with a loose fitting top your legs will look even thinner underneath.

5. Wink Silk Paperbag Short
If you are bold and want to look fashion-forward, these paperbag shorts are perfect. They fit really loose and high on the waist. You must tuck in a fitted shirt in order to pull this off.
