Beat the heat with trendy shorts this Summer!

We all crave for ease when it comes to clothes...but they better be stylish too! We women just care a little too much about how we're looking in what we're wearing, and the first question that comes to our mind when we step in front of the mirror is....yes you guessed it right ;)
"Am i looking fat in this?!" 
We all know it in our minds that the body types that have been mentioned in the subject of style were definitely defined keeping women in mind.....ever heard of a guy questioning about his body type! I haven't...
So the temperatures are soaring high n you will be wondering what to wear to getaway from the scorching heat.....Let me help you. Grab a couple of pairs of comfortable temperature-defying shorts for the season that fit your body type. And don't worry you don't have to sacrifice fashion for fit trying to hide some imperfect hips, thighs and legs or if you are carrying a few extra pounds. You can look great in shorts too! Just choose a pair of shorts that compliment your frame. Like men, there are different types of shorts for women too...i have jot down basic information about these to help you find a pair that suits you:

1) Capri shorts: These are the shorts that end a few inches above the ankle. If you dont want too much of a show or you get self conscious wearing shorter shorts, grab a pair of these in whichever color and fabric you want, i would suggest cotton or linen. Plus these are allowed at workplaces/offices...they're in mine! :) You'll find a great collection at Benetton outlets, Westside and Lifestyle;FabIndia and W has colorful linen capris in stores too.

      

2) Board shorts: They are the perfect choice for a sporty woman and come in all sorts of colors and lengths. They are not too revealing and will keep you super comfy yet stylish during summer days and fun water activities. Get a pair from westside or swimsuit stores around.

            


3) Booty shorts: These shorts are amazingly popular among young girls. They have names or  phrases written across the rear (I've got one too...it reads Hello kitty! :p but sadly i've grown fat for those). They are best suited for women with thin legs and trim bottoms. Get your hands on one if you can carry one in cotton, polyester or silk and be fun and flirty!

                   

4) Blossoming shorts: These are snug at the waist and lose from the thighs. They can come in a flat front or pleated style, plain or with patterns like stripes, checks etc. Avoid stripes if you've a heavy bottom. Girls with oh-so-perfect figure can flaunt a nice pair of pleated ones in these and pair a checked pair up with a nice solid color polo or a plain color shorts with checked shirt and you'll look your best! Get your hands on these beautiful pairs from Zara, Mango or Lifestyle.

                       
5) Rolled up or cuffed leg shorts: If you're tall and  thin...shop now for a pair in jeans or cotton fabric. They are comfortable and stylish. I will tell you a little secret about these...these can give a curvier touch  to your thin legs..n who doesn't like curves right! Find these at Zara, Benetton stores.

          

6) Bermuda shorts: These are knee length shorts and perfect for curvy figures and women with flabby thighs. Actually according to me anyone can wear these as they give a dressy look. Wear these while travel, shopping or a fun evening with your girlfriends. 
(P.S. My personal style tip for these shorts....Grab a pair in a nice beige or mud color...pair up with a fitted white or black tee..accessorize with a nice Y suspender, put on a pair of moccasins and you're good to go. )

                                   
7) Shorter shorts: If you have short legs then get a pair of these but make sure they are not folded or cuffed up coz that will make your legs look even shorter. Check out the colorful collection at Madame, Benetton,Lifestyle and Zara this season.

        


8) Mid length shorts: They end in the middle of the thigh and are suitable for any body type. They can disguise that flab on your upper thighs and look very classy. Make sure you buy one that are slim fit and not loose from the bottom.


         

9) High waist shorts: These are a new trend and perfect for those fun filled evenings with your friends at the clubs, or a date with your boyfriend. They usually come with multiple buttons down your waist, pleated or flat front. Get one and tuck in a nice frilly top for a date...or with a sexy metallic one for an evening in club.

           


10) Funky print shorts: Get a pair in cotton, polyester or satin and pair with solid color v-neck or round neck cute tees for a casual drive around the city or running errands. These can be short or mid length.
(Tip: Try coaxing your boyfriend into giving you his favorite cartoon boxers, they can well serve the purpose ;)







(P.S. Do not forget to check the rear view when trying on a new style of shorts. Certain cuts of shorts tend to ride higher from the back and may be too revealing.)   XOXO
