SHORTS…Could they be the most difficult item in your wardrobe to buy and get right in the Summer?
It’s certainly one of the most asked for items from my clients, “can you find me a good pair of shorts?” …but with a long list of requirements; not too short, not too frumpy, not too tight round my thighs, can they not be high waisted? It is very tricky to find a good pair of shorts, but when you do you hold onto them for life. Mine are a VERY old pair of Topshop khaki (not even my colour that’s how old they are) shorts, a great fit, a great length, now covered in paint and marks and are only good for the garden and camping trips.
As temperatures are finally rising it is nice to have the option of having a pair of shorts to pop on, as easy as a pair of jeans. So why is it so hard to find the right pair? We all have body hang ups, we all have different body shapes so shopping for shorts can be demoralising and exhausting as it makes us focus on areas of our body we struggle with. We just want the perfect pair of shorts to compliment your figure and fit your body shape.
Tips on how to buy the right shorts for your body shape
If you are Athletic & toned (straight body shape) - you need to get slim fitting shorts with subtle fading and whiskers when buying denim shorts.
If you are curvy (apple body shape) - getting a high waisted pair of shorts are good for your body shape, with some stretch too.
If you are petite - make sure the style fits you properly otherwise they can very easily look too big, so form fitting fabrics are best.
If you have a small waist but a larger bottom (hourglass body shape) - Accenuate your waist, it’s your smallest part so higher waist styles like paperbag waists are best for your body shape.
