So, the warm weather has finally arrived and with it the desire to wear spring dresses. Oh, how I love my spring dresses. Too bad they don’t love the playground. This is going to be a summer for shorts in my world.
I remember an very proper woman once saying that shorts were possibly the least flattering and most unfeminine article of clothing a woman can wear. I can see where she’s coming from but there are ways to make shorts look…well I don’t know if chic is the right word, but at least stylish.
The fact of the matter is when it’s 85 degrees and you are sitting in a sandbox, shorts are probably the way to go. I want shorts that are functional for a romp in the park but stylish enough to wear to a cafe for a snack afterward. I’ve found a few that should get the job done. Remember it’s not just the shorts it’s how you wear them. I realize that not all legs are created equal but I have to say often shorter length are more flattering than longer ones. I gave up trying to hide my spider veins a while ago. Most people know what looks good on them. Wait, I take that back, a lot of people actually don’t know what looks good on them or rather don’t recognize when something looks bad on them. That’s a whole other topic. Just remember a few rules of thumb. Short shorts look best with tailored but fuller tops. Think tunic. Longer, fuller shorts are best paired with clean, fitted tops.
