Tales of the summer shorts...

Hello Loviessss,



How have you all been? I apologise for my slow posts in the past two weeks. I've had what you'd call the 'bloggers brain block'. I need to go away on holiday, away from all the hectic work schedule to clear my head, take fun pictures and get my groove back :-) Phewwww...


Its summer and summer fashion/glam inevitably means showing more skin and for many of us, this is a scary prospect! Shorts are often on the agenda, but it’s hard to know which styles work with our body types.


I'll take us through the different body types and what shorts work for you.


Thanks for always reading.


xoxo.

- Petite: If you are petite, go for shorter shorts that elongate your legs the more leg you show, the longer your legs look

-Long and lean: If you have very long and thin legs, you'll want to look for a roll-up or cuffed hem style short. They help break up the long line of your legs and create curves at the same time

-Full & Fabulous thighs: If you have heavier upper thighs, your best bet is a classic short. Make sure they are structured and straight from the thigh down. Avoid anything with visual interest, such as cargo pockets, pleats and embellishments they only add more volume to the area. Also pair with a long top or blazer

-Hourglass: This curvy shape can go one of two ways: Balance your body by not going too narrow in the leg, or go super-skinny and wear with heels for major impact

-Pear Shaped: A relaxed fit is best, and the length depends on your legs. Add a longer top or one that flares out a bit to balance body shape

-Curvy: If you have curves, go for a looser pair that is not as form fitting. Stay away from prints

-Leg shy: If you don't love your legs but still want to keep cool, I suggest wearing knee length shorts. They can be very figure flattering
