This blog post is your ultimate guide to styling shorts over 40 and embracing the heat with style and confidence. Get ready to rock those shorts this summer and feel amazing while doing it!

Embrace Confidence

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of styling shorts, let’s address the most important factor: confidence. Your age should never hinder your ability to wear what you love. So how do you wear shorts over 40?Embrace your unique style, wear those shorts proudly, and exude the confidence that comes from feeling comfortable in your own skin. Remember, fashion has no age limits!

Finding the Perfect Fit For your Shorts over 40:

When it comes to shorts, finding the right fit is essential. Look for styles that flatter your body shape and make you feel comfortable and confident. Aim for a length that hits mid-thigh or just above the knee, striking a balance between modesty and showcasing your legs. Experiment with different silhouettes, such as straight-leg or tailored shorts, to find the ones that enhance your best features. Be sure to note the rise and the inseam length, these key features can be the magic in finding the perfect pair. The higher the rise the more flattering on most women. Take your favorite pair of shorts and measure the rise and inseam. Use this as a guide when you are shopping. Knowing the measurements is key to success!

Size up

I know, this is a hard one but I want you to be sure to NOT get caught up in the vanity sizing. Just because you’ve been a size 8, does not mean you’re going to be a size 8 in every piece of clothing and every pair of shorts you try on. Sizing up in your shorts gives you a little extra wiggle room and will actually make them look more flattering on your stomach and legs, polished, and elegant.

Pairing with Stylish Tops:

To elevate your shorts ensemble, pair them with stylish tops that complement their casual nature. Flowey blouses, button-down shirts, or lightweight sweaters are great options to create a chic and polished look. Experiment with different colors, patterns, and textures to add interest and express your personal style. You can even throw on a blazer to make the shorts look more dressy. Play with your clothes and have fun. It doesn’t need to be just shorts and a t-shirt!
