How to Wear Short Shorts

How to Wear Short Shorts



If you have legs you want to show off, a pair of short shorts is one clothing item that should be in your summertime wardrobe. The new generation of short shorts draws inspiration from all sorts of styles-from retro sailor pants to 1980s running shorts.









Step
1



Tone up before you decide to wear short shorts. Though you don't have to be thin to wear short shorts, you do need to have a nicely shaped backside. Work out your glutes and your hamstrings to develop tone and show off your shape.




Step
2



Work to reduce your cellulite if you're like most women. About 90 percent of all women have cellulite and it's not dependent upon their weight. Combine a low-fat diet, exercise and cellulite reduction cream for the best results. Bodybuilder Sherry Gideons offers tips for reducing cellulite at the website Body Building.




Step
3



Decide on the amount of coverage you want. Short shorts can be nearly as short as a bikini bottom, but you can also find slightly longer short shorts. If you don't have a perky butt, you probably want a little bit more coverage--unless you enjoy flaunting what you have.




Step
4



Choose the right underwear for your short shorts. If you want a little lift or support, get a fuller coverage panty that can emphasize your curves. If you have a perky butt, consider a thong or other skimpy panty. Either way, you don't want your panties showing through around the legs and you don't want panty lines.




Step
5



Determine your style. Short shorts styles range from classy to sporty, so keep shopping until you find the pair that reflects your personal style.




Step
6



Complement your short shorts with a fitted top that ends at your waist or bares your midriff for a summery look. A

is also flattering with short shorts.




Step
7



Develop an attitude to go with your short shorts. The attitude is yours to choose, so focus on what you hope to project with your short shorts. You might be wearing them to feel sexy; you might be showing off your athletic body. If you match your attitude to your short shorts, you can exude exactly what you want to as you wear them.




Step
8



Wear your short shorts to appropriate places. They can be good for informal situations and clubbing, but aren't the best choice for regular street wear--unless they're on the longer side. They can get you unwanted attention in the wrong situations and most styles are a little too informal for many places.
