Your Best Shorts

It's that time again! We all turned in our sweaters and jeans and are looking for something to relive us from the heat. Shorts are always a go to for the warm weather.

Instead of pulling out your ragged camping shorts this year, here are some tips to help you find a short that fits and flatters you the same way as your favorite jean!

For those of us lacking in curvaceous characteristics, high waisted shorts are perfect for defining your middle and locking in your love handles.

Ask Elyse: Coming Up Short

Dear Elyse,

I'd love to get the Miss Me Belted Linen Shorts in Off White but I'm not sure how to wear them. Do you have any tips?

Thanks,
Christa

Dear Christa,

Some shorts can inspire some pretty cringe-worthy styles but these particular shorties are pure class and even offer a little wiggle room as far as what you can wear them with.

If you look at this Anna Sui ensemble or this Tommy Hilfiger version you'll see that the big spring trend is to go a little baggy up top. The shorts' fit will have a slender enough fit that you won't feel like you're swimming in fabric and looser cuts are always more forgiving to the female figure.

For a more collegiate air, choose something colorful and cropped close to your frame. This way you can tuck the top in for a cleaner lines. To avoid looking too buttoned-up, try layering it with a draped cardigan.

As far as colours go, that linen white will match with just about anything. Don't be afraid to mix and match!

Hope this helps,
Elyse
