Things You'll Need:
- Men's Shorts
- Women's Shorts
-
Step 1
Opt for a shorter inseam if you have short legs or are petite. A shorter silhouette will give the illusion of a longer leg, whereas a longer short will only enhance your compact frame.
-
Step 2
Skip the pleats and any closure that gathers or bunches at the belly if you're wide through the middle. Opt instead for the slimming effects of a flat, clean front.
-
Step 3
Balance broad hips with shorts that have a wider and longer cut. Downplay larger buttocks with shorts that flare or taper at the outside seam.
-
Step 4
Cinch a drawstring short at your waist if you have a straight or boyish figure. Or select a zip or button-front style that sits low around your hips instead of your waist.
-
Step 5
Head out in hot shorts if you're blessed with long, slender and well-toned legs. Just make sure you don't reveal too much.
-
Step 6
Complement a very long leg or a tall frame with a board short or clam digger. Pair the board short with a cotton tank and sport slides, and dress the clam digger up with a peasant top and colorful leather thongs.
