Length is a false concern for the fashionista. Too short just sounds wrong and long leaves your legs looking like tree trunks. Look for mid-length shorts which have a straighter leg and flat front. (Pleats at the front can billow out and provide the look of thickness in your midsection.)

This pair has a 7-inch inseam and a front zipper closure, plus two pockets each in front and rear. The length can elongate your legs if you wear them together with nude vases.

Not Too Brief

A blouse tucked in and a belt, would pair nicely with those shorts. The belt and billowy blouse can create a silhouette that is wonderful in your body also.

At $12-18, these shorts may be your summer go-to. They’re available in six colours and in sizes 0-20.
