You may think your legs are too thin or too big to wear shorts, but the truth is that there is a pair out there that will work perfectly for your body type. I wasn’t always a fan of shorts, but that all changed last year when I tried on a pair that surprisingly flattered my figure.
This summer shorts can be worn night or day, casual or dressy. They can be paired with sneakers, sandals, wedges or even pumps (if done properly). Also, you don’t have to have legs like Tina Turner to successfully pull off this summer staple, but you do need confidence!
Do you wear shorts during the warmer months?

i never wear shorts - i've never been a shorts wearing person...but i have been thinking maybe this summer will be different..and those Lucky Brand shorts are fab!
Ok, BG you have me convinced. I will find a pair that flatters me this summer. Great post!
I wore shorts just this past weekend. Mine are similar to the gap shorts shown.
You are right, you can find a pair of shorts for everyone...yaaaa

BGG, you just made me very sad. I love shorts but something has happened to my body over the last couple of years and I can no longer pull it off...at all! For some reason ALL shorts ride up in the middle of my thighs so I end up looking ridiculous! Now the G By Guess shorts look like they just might work so I'll give them a try. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
it's hard for me to break away from my pants, but when it's just too hot, it's too hot.
i like shorts. i favor bermudas for my style and i guess body type, though i can't wait to strut in some short cuffed ones (with some high wedges) some day LOL
I haven't worn shorts in since high school (I am now 27)! However, for the past couple of years I have secretly been wanting to put on some short sexy shorts! I told myself that this is the summer that I will. I really like the one's shown by Forever 21! Thanks. I hope they are not made exclusively for European figures and that I can squeeze my brown girl butt in them!

I'm not a shorts wearer. I favor breezy sundresses, but who knows, I may give shorts a whirl this summer - I like the pair by BR!
I LOVE SHORTS! For all you bargain hunters H&M and Forever 21 have an unlimited amount of CUTE shorts for the low.
They're so cheap, you can pretty much wear them this season, then throw them away (because who knows what the hot styles will be next summer)
Not for me, but I can't wait to see you in the pair of strip metallic shorts. LOL!
im easing my way into shorts. i wore capris and the like for a long time. now im into bermudas. not quite ready to venture shorter than that.
I don't know why, but I bought a couple of bermuda shorts for this summer. I usually wear skirts or dresses. can't wait to try them out when the weather gets a little warmer
i love shorts! i have to watch the length tho cuz with my extremely long legs, i'd end up looking ultra-stank...but i do enjoy shorts!
I love shorts. Unfortunately, they don't like me lately. Haven't been able to find a flattering pair. So I wore skirts last summer.
However, your photos have inspired me to try shorts again. I'm going to try to find the Lucky Brand pair.
yeah, i would rock a pair of shorts in the summer time. summer, ladies, legs & shorts sounds good to me
OMG, I wish I could wear shorts. They so ride up in the middle with me too. Grrr...I can bust the heck out of some bermuda shorts though. Heyyy!
I love shorts.. My fav pair were from a Polo Jeans sample sale (about 4 years ago) that I only paid $5 for... I pull 'em out EVERY summer!
I just finished an article on shorts for all body types while I was writing it I was like maybe I will try shorts this summer, but you sealed the deal! Thanks for another great post!
xo,

Thanks, I saw some cute styles that I want to try.
You posted some cute shorts there diva of all things fashionable. I am a huge fan of the Guess brand and their line of shorts (and clothes in general) seem to work best for my body type. I am loving the shorts from Forever21 though... those are cute!
I love shorts. I cannot abide pants in the summer, so I wear skirts most of the time and shorts on the weekend. I love the Lucky pair with the sash tie and the pink J. Crew ones you posted.
yeah... my legs dont look like any of the chicks in these pics... bermuda shorts never look right on me because I have big thighs and a small waste...ugh
