Shorts for a Pear Shaped Body (tips)
- Size Up: If you have a pear shaped body, you want fabric to skim over your widest parts and accentuate your narrowest. I usually size up when buying shorts (I normally wear a size 10, but I always buy a size 12 in shorts).
- Length is KEY: You want shorts to hit at the narrowest part of your thighs. For me, that's mid thigh. I always buy shorts with a three to four inch inseam.
- Fabric Type: think structured. I tend to buy linen blends, thicker woven cotton, or denim shorts. Really thin fabric isn't going to flatter ANYONE with curves.
- Balance: Darker on the bottom, lighter on the top. Pair your print or brightly color shorts with a light or white tee.
