Summer is the season of denim shorts. They’re comfy, cute
and go with just about everything. You can dress them up or down, and even wear
them to the beach. But denim shorts are no fun if you’re not wearing the right
pair for your bod! We’ve got the best styles for all different shapes.
Short Legs:
If you’ve got shorter gams, you should wear denim shorts
that hit at the middle of your thigh. Too long and they’ll make you look even
shorter. The perfect pair should make your legs look longer! You can even pair
them with wedges to elongate your stems even more!
Ruler
Pick a pair that will create some curves for ya! A
high-waisted pair will draw attention to your waist and break up your shape.
Don’t forget to add a bright belt!

Athletic
You work hard for those awesome legs of yours, so you should
totally show ’em off! Pick a great pair that’s cut short (but not too short!)
and simple. Be proud of those killer legs!

Curvy
Work those amazing curves, girl! Accentuate your waist by
tucking in your top and adding a fun belt. A dark wash is sleek-ifying—but make
sure the shorts hit at the smallest point on your thigh. This’ll make your legs
look like they go on for miles!

Pear
Stick to no-fuss denim shorts. Avoid too many details like
rips or slant pockets that pucker. Pick a clean and classic pair with straight
legs. A cute cuff will draw attention to
your legs and away from your hips. They’ll look so fab on you!
