How to wear shorts over 40
I hate shorts. I have always hated them but it’s mutual, they hate me too.
I am all for wearing what makes you happy and it makes me happy to hide my white, thighs. In fact, it makes me very happy.
A lovely reader asked for some advice on shorts. So, I went out of my comfort zone (long jeans) and on a mission to decide what shorts I would wear, why and how.
How to wear shorts over 40
- It turns out the shorts that I would wear have daggy names like Berumda Shorts or, even worse, walking shorts. These shorts are longer than your arse but finish above the knees
- Find the thinnest part of your legs, this is were you want the shorts to end. Lucky you can roll up, or cut off jeans to hit the exact right spot. I like the spot just above my knees.
- I prefer fitted shorts instead of the gapping, parachute version. When the shorts are flush against your skin there is little chance of the wind blowing them up or them ride up when you are sitting, climbing, dancing etc.
- Dress them up. I love casual denim short with a button up shirt, or sequins and heels. Break all the rules and have fun playing
Here are some great not-so-short shorts I found:
1. Sussan Walking Shorts $79.95 | 2. Mix Apparel Walking Short $20 (3 colours) | 3. Jeans West Adrienne Short $ 49.95 | 4. Country Road Stretch short $79.95 (8 colours) 5. Country Road D-Ring Culotte $129 (2 colours) | 6. Jeans West Christina shorts $49.95
