Hello dolls! I feel like I have abandoned my blog. Shame on me. Any who, I haven't been up to much just working A LOT and haven't had time to update my blog...talk about legal slavery! But now I am back in the game and with an interesting topic, I hope. I was trying on a couple of shorts the other day and was having a hard time deciding on a pair; they were either too tight on my thighs and loose on my waist or the other way around. So I did some research on the types of shorts that flatter different body shapes. DISCLAIMER: One can wear whatever their heart desire. These are simply suggestions.
RECTANGLE/ RULER SHAPE:
People with this body shape are usually very thin with long legs (hence why they're referred as rectangle shape). Wild prints draw attention to a thin Ruler’s lower half, while a shorter length makes legs look even longer. Your thin, straight-up-and-down frame lends itself to a fun, shorter style. Plus, the pleats, stripes and subtle flare on any pair of shorts will make you look absolutely fabulous.
HOURGLASS SHAPE:
According to popular demand, this is one of the preferred body types (ity biy waist & that round thang in yo face!); you can wear practically ANYTHING. This is my body shape and although many people consider me blessed for it unfortunately I don't see it that way. It's really hard for me to find bottoms because of my thighs, but if you don't have that thigh issue like me.. I applaud you. Put the spotlight on that narrow middle by drawing attention to it with a wide-tab waist. The higher cuts keep your shorts from gaping where you’re tiniest, and the looser cut gives your curves a little breathing room.
INVERTED TRIANGLE:
People with this body shape have long legs, broad shoulders, usually athletic. Those long, athletic legs deserve to take the spotlight, so show them off in a pair of colorful, trendy Bermuda shorts. Colors help draw eyes down to your best assets.
TRIANGLE/ PEAR SHAPE:
This body shape would be the opposite of the inverted triangle. Instead of broad shoulders and a narrow hips, the person has narrow shoulders and wider hips. Triangles know the A-line skirt is their friend, so it makes perfect sense that an A-line short would also fit right in with their summer wardrobe. This style is belted and on the higher-waisted side to emphasize your smaller waist, but it also flares at the hips to provide ample room where it’s needed. For a Triangle’s curvier hips and thighs, opt for a classic, longer relaxed fit in a solid color.
CIRCLE/ APPLE SHAPE:
Last but not least, is the circle or apple shape. For the circles/apples one of your best features are your thin legs and ankles. Circle shapes who want to highlight their stems would be wise to opt for Bermuda shorts.
