Shorts For Women Over 40

Well ladies, it’s that time of year again when we start pulling out the shorts. So…I thought I would share some shorts for women over 40.

This is always a fun discussion and I think there are 3 things we can all agree on.

1. If you don’t want to wear shorts, then don’t wear them. Jo-Lynne Shane did a great post on Alternatives To Shorts. Check out all of her cute ideas!

2. NO Daisy Dukes. Amen?

3. It’s important to find the length and style that is flattering on your body type.

So, if you’re wanting to wear shorts, here are some different short options. Hopefully, one or more will work for you!

If you love an A-line skirt, then these modern printed shorts have a similar silhouette. They almost look like a skirt.

If you love boyfriend jeans, why not try boyfriend shorts? They have a relaxed but streamlined fit.

Bermuda shorts are tricky to me. A lot of women over 40 go this route but truthfully, not everyone can wear them.

I can not wear them and so I stay away from them. They look best on tall, thin body types. These shorts have a 9 inch inseam.

Shorts that are perfect for everyone…yes, there is a flattering fit that you can wear, no matter what shape you are, they’re mid-length shorts.

The hemline should hit right at the middle of your thigh (the narrowest part), and avoid a cuff, which visually adds width. These shorts have an 8 inch inseam.

I personally love this length. These shorts have a 6 inch inseam. I generally like a 5 or 6 inch inseam.

As I say that, I think these shorts could have a shorter inseam. I also bought a pair of printed shorts that are a 4 inch inseam. I think I’m going to have to back up and punt.

I definitely don’t look good in a longer short with my pear shape body. I don’t wear shorts everyday but I do love to have some when the weather heats up.

Which of these shorts are your favorite style for spring/summer?

Beauty for the Heart~~

Where my soul is filled with sorrow, strengthen me with your words.
Where my heart seeks selfish gain, turn me toward your statutes.
When I’m afflicted and discouraged, fill me with hope and comfort in your promises.

Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart.
Open my eyes, that I may behold wonderful things out of your law.
Give me a love for your word. Make it my meditation all the day.
(Taken from selected verses from Psalm 119)

Have a blessed day!
