Finding the Jean Shorts for You

Published

Jean short has been a fad. But do you know which style you’ll be slipping into? If not, here’s a guide aimed at ensuring you buy the best pair for your body type, whether you’re tall, petite, curvy or something in between.

If you’re: Curvy

If you’ve got curves, it’s said show them off. But when it comes to shorts, you’ll want to choose a style that flatters your hourglass shape — and doesn’t add more bulk where you don’t want it. Choose a mid-rise style that isn’t too tight and look for something with

pleats and a belted waistband to highlight your best assets. Tuck in a fitted tank in a bold hue, add some pointed toe flats and an envelope clutch for an afternoon date or early evening patio party.

Our pick: Enhance your covet-worthy curves with a pair of casual yet chic Marc by Marc Jacobs pleated shorts.

If you’re: Petite

Finding jean shorts can be a frustrating feat for those of who belong to the petite body shape. A style that works great on someone taller just ends up looking silly on someone with shorter legs. Find a fashion

balance by looking for a pair of denim shorts with a higher rise (aim for 9″). This will help create a more proportioned look. Add a loose-fitting scoop neck tee and a pair of wedge espadrille sandals to complete the look.

Our pick: Add the illusion of extra height with the help of these Topshop vintage high-waisted shorts.

If you have: Long legs

If you have long legs, you can get away with shorts that have a longer inseam. Opting for longer walking-style shorts will accentuate your get-noticed gams. Pair your longer jean shorts with platform sandals in a

neutral hue and a fitted tee in a polka dot or floral pattern.

Our pick: Show off your long legs in a pair of J Brand cuffed stretch denim shorts.

If you’re: Boy-shaped

No curves? No problem. You can still find a pair of denim shorts that will flatter and enhance your natural shape. Look for a softer material with a looser look like summer-ready chambray. If you can find a pair with flap pockets in the back, even better — that will help give the illusion of curves.

Our pick: Loose yet elegant chambray shorts is perfect.
