Shorts are a pretty basic concept: They have the flexibility of pants
and mimic the proportions of skirts.
Here are tipson how to rock dem shorts:
When you want to hide a food baby:
When you're feeling a little bloated and can't bear restrictive
waistbands, opt for elastic or draw-string shorts. The band
automatically scrunches up lightweight fabrics, like linen or silk, and
camouflages any unwanted curves. The looser the fit, the better. We're
not saying Jamie Chung has something to hide, but you wouldn't know it if she was—and that's the point!
When you want to avoid swamp legs:
It's hot or humid or both. You're sitting on a chair. You get up and
you can feel the sweat dripping down your legs. We've all experienced
that green-house effect before. You can't really avoid the heat but you
can air things out below with shorts with perforated, lace or sheer
detailing. The ventilation helps!
When the thigh struggle is real:
Whatever your size, you may have hips or thighs that make shorts
uncomfortable to live in. In this case, it's all about proportions.
A-line silhouettes are your friends. A high waist will cinch in your
waist above the hips, and pieces that are mid-thigh or longer and
roomier on bottom will make your thighs look slimmer. Read: no chafing!
When you want to create curves:
The best way to fake a shapelier silhouette is to create dimension. Opt
for more structured shorts or a pair with pleating, peplum or draping
details, which won't just create volume below but it'll draw the eyes as
well.
When you want to stretch it out:
If you have a long torso, opt for a high waist or a thick waistband to
shorten your upper half. If you have a short torso, go for a low-rise
pair, which will give you a few more inches up top. As
Taylor Swift proves, shorts can never be too short to wear heels!
That does it?
Thougts?
