How To: Find the best shorts for your bod
Cute shorts immediately come to mind when the weather gets warmer, and we know it can be tricky to find a pair that really, truly flatters you. But no need to fret: Whether you’re tall or short, thin or curvy, there’s a style out there that will make you look awesome! Take these tips into the fitting room and you’ll be set.

Your shape: Hourglass
Your shape: Athletic
Your shape: Petite
If you’re on the shorter side, look for shorts that are fitted through the waist, but have a looser cut around the hip and thigh area to give you some volume. Fun prints, textures (we love lace shorts) and looser trouser shorts suit you well, so stay away from the too-tight denim shorts and go for something a bit more ladylike.

Your shape: Ruler
If you’re tall and thin, your best pair of shorts will show off your long legs without looking too teensy. Nix the booty shorts and go with a mid-length, cuffed pair. Creasing and other detailing at the hips adds emphasis and boosts your shape. With a girly tank top and blazer, you’ll look runway-ready.

Your shape: Hourglass
Your solution: high-waisted, cuffed trouser shorts will draw attention to your curves without putting too much emphasis on your bum. Something in linen, wool or tweed makes you look instantly polished (and posh!). Avoid all-over prints—spice up your outfit with bright accessories like a rockin’ belt instead.
Cuffed Wool Shorts, $20, forever21.com
Your shape: Athletic
Show off your toned legs in a pair of shorter, flat-front shorties. Choose a soft color or preppy print paired with a flowy tank. Strappy flat sandals draw attention to your to-die-for gams.
