The Long and the Short of It

Happy Hump Day all!

For some of us the idea of wearing shorts can produce anxiety about being exposed in the Summer. Many shrug it off and others just avoid them all together. I used to be in the latter category. For the majority of my adult life I wouldn’t wear shorts because I thought I was too fat. Summer after Summer I would hide my legs in crops and capri pants. Then one sweltering Summer day I said “forget this s**t!”, bought a pair of bermuda shorts and never looked back.

Now that plus size short options have improved greatly, there’s no need to shy away from wearing them. There are an array of lengths to choose from. You can opt for an above or below the knee style (I’m a fan of Talbots 11 inch bermuda shorts) or if you feel like showing off your fabulous legs, there are shorter lengths to accommodate you. The point here is that there is something for everyone . So if you’re in the market for a pair of shorts this Summer, I’ve picked out some of my favorite pairs to get you started!

Have a wonderful day!
