Shorts are a comfortable and fashionable piece of clothing that goes well with many things. In addition, they are so pleasant to walk in in hot summer. On the other hand, many find it very difficult to figure out how and where to wear them. Can i wear protective cargo shorts to work? Are these tiny denim shorts for you? We will tell you how to wear shorts for women, men and for sports.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Women's Shorts

1. 1 Choose shorts that flatter your figure. There are many different styles to suit women of all sizes with different body types.
   • Consider your height: Long shorts will shorten your legs, while short shorts will lengthen, giving the impression of being taller. Avoid extremes. Neat mid-thigh shorts are suitable for women of any height.
   • Consider the style: shorts that flare down will look good on skinny girls. Longer shorts are fine for tall women, while mid-length shorts and bermuda shorts can be worn by everyone.
2. 2 Choose shorts with simple straight lines. Large pockets on the cargo shorts draw attention to the hips. It is better to buy shorts in bright colors or with a floral pattern. Dark fabric will visually reduce the volume, and if you choose the right shoes for dark shorts, you can get a casual or more elegant look.
3. 3 The print on the shorts should be small and frequent. In summer, shorts with a floral or tropical pattern will look good. Choose a pattern where the background will practically not be visible - this will favorably emphasize your figure.
4. 4 High-waisted shorts are good for work. This stylish, figure-friendly and once popular cut is back in fashion. Try wearing them with tight and loose tops to find out which suits you best. If you have a short torso or large chest, buy shorts with a regular waist so as not to distort the proportions.
   • Buy shorts that have a belt just below the tightest part of your waist. These are mid-waisted shorts and fit very well on most figures.
5. 5 Determine the optimal length. Many models of shorts are very short, and although this style will visually lengthen the legs, it will not always be appropriate. Sometimes shorts of classic length are more suitable.
   • The basic rule regarding length is as follows: nothing should stick out from under the bottom edge. This applies to pockets, linen and more.
   • There is an easy way to determine the ideal length for office shorts: put on your shorts and stand up straight without straining your arms. The shorts should end flush with your fingertips.
6. 6 Tuck the shirt into the high-waisted shorts. This will allow you to visually lengthen your torso and raise your waist upward. With shorts with a low waist, it is better to wear the top outside so as not to create an ugly fold in the abdomen.
7. 7 Combine bright colors. Complement the bright shorts with a contrasting top, and the stylish look is ready. Combine colors of the same brightness: combine pastel colors with neutral colors - this outfit will be especially good in summer.

Method 2 of 3: Men's Shorts

1. 1 Buy shorts "the right" cut. Shorts should not be too long or too short.The seam of the bottom edge should be just above the knee when you are standing, and when you sit down, the distance to the knee should not exceed 3-5 centimeters.
   • Denim shorts, or jorts, are especially popular among hipsters; in other subcultures, long baggy shorts that fall below the knee are popular. If you're just wondering how these things will look on you, chances are they won't suit you, so opt for the classics and leave the unusual things to the trend setters.
2. 2 Wear shorts the same size as your pants, and remember to wear a belt. The shorts should fit on the hips exactly like the trousers and should be complemented with a suitable strap. You can look business-like in shorts, but they shouldn't slide down - that's what a belt is for. Make sure your underwear is not sticking out from under your shorts.
3. 3 Leave your leisure shorts for the holidays. No one bothers you to wear the old shorts in which you usually play football when you sit at home on the couch and watch a match; For cleaning the garage, you can safely wear cargo shorts, which you have refused to throw away for many years. There is nothing wrong. But don't even think about putting them on to work, on the street and it's hot.
   • If you are working in a place where it is appropriate to appear in shorts, find the right model and evaluate it in terms of your usual approach to attire for work. Regardless of the cut, the shorts should be clean, ironed and discreet.
4. 4 Buy khaki shorts. This color comes in many shades and will look great on any figure. Cargo shorts, surfer shorts, and denim shorts should only be worn if you live by the sea. All such shorts on a man over 22-23 years old will look ridiculous: in them you will not seem younger - you will give the impression of a person who simply does not know how to dress. Classic khaki shorts go well with different styles. It is worth allocating money for them, because they will be very useful to you.
   • If you're unsure of what to buy, go for shorts in muted tones. Beige, gray, navy and black are great colors for shorts and will never go out of style. Those pink shorts you bought for your yacht trip will likely end up on the bottom shelf of your closet.
   • If you do decide to buy cargo shorts, go for shorts with the smallest pockets. The older you are, the smaller your pocket should be. If you're in your 50s, the pockets should be tiny, but if you're 15, you will look organic with huge pockets.
5. 5 Combine shorts with matching socks and shoes. They can be worn with loafers and very short socks. In white socks pulled up, you will look silly even if you are a tourist from Germany, and high boots will visually make your legs thick and short - they should only be on a basketball court.

Method 3 of 3: Athletic Shorts

1. 1 Wear them on your hips. Put on your shorts and then tighten the belt rope. The bottom seam should be just above the knee.
   • If you want the shorts to sag a little, pull them down slightly (to your pubic hairline). The back of the belt should be just below the waist and should fit snugly. Tighten the belt. To prevent the shorts from sliding even lower, you need to tighten as much as possible, otherwise you will have to constantly correct them.
2. 2 Buy shorts in the right size. If the shorts are your size, you don't have to tighten the belt because they will already fit well (not too loose and not too tight). When trying on, jump in place to see if they stick to you. The shorts should be above the knee, otherwise they will stretch and restrict movement, no matter what sport you play.
3. 3 Opt for shorts in dark colors - this is a safe bet. Since you will sweat while exercising, white may not be the best color.Sweat marks will be more visible on white; also, as you practice, the white may start to show through. Agree, it will be unpleasant to run 15 kilometers and notice that what you wanted to hide under your clothes is now in plain sight.
4. 4 Wear shorts in the gym. It is not customary to walk down the street in cycling shorts or mini running shorts. You wouldn't wear a swimsuit at a formal reception; what looks acceptable in the hall is unacceptable to be worn in everyday life, and vice versa. As comfortable and stylish as your shorts are, they should only be worn for sports.
