Types of Shorts

Suits

 
 
Short suits are a getting more trendy. They are available in prints, colors, checks and various other embellishments.


Petite women should prefer wearing those with a length above the knees.

To add volume to your thin hips and legs wear suits with large cuff work.

You can pair them with high heels or a flat.

Mid-Length Shorts

 
 
Mid-Length shorts are appealing and attractive. These shorts may have a mid-seam of about 7 to 8 inches.

They are also known as day shorts, golf shorts, classic shorts, etc.


They can camouflage your short legs and can also cover the problem areas like flabby thighs.

Knee-Length Shorts


Knee length shorts can cut your leg in half visually and can make your short legs look shorter.
 
 

 


   
 

Low-Rise Shorts


The ideal body shape to wear shorts is the pear shape and the hourglass shape.

The pear shape body has most of the weight at the hips and butts. And the hour-glass body has rounder hips and leaner abs.

Lean abs, rounded hips and a well- in- shape body is ideal for wearing low-rise shorts.
 

 


   
 

Pleated Shorts


Pleats work best on a a thin and petite frame as it helps to add volume to the body.

Avoid wearing pleated ones if you have larger hips or thighs.
