  • Short shorts look best on women with thin, trim legs (figure A).

  • Medium-length shorts--about 16 inches long--showcase legs without showing too much thigh.

  • Clam diggers (figure B) hit just below the knee, hiding the thighs while accentuating the calves. This style looks good on just about any body type.

  • Capri pants (figure C) reach mid-calf, a style which accentuates legs while helping to diminish the upper thighs. This style also flatters most body types.

  • Shorts made of stretch fabrics wrinkle less and offer a bit of tummy (or tushie) control.

  • If your tummy is larger, choose flat-front shorts over pleats for a slimmer look.

  • White shorts in your favorite style are a must for summer. They look great with bright colors and go with everything.
