The Ultimate Guide to Choosing and Styling Long Shorts

Long shorts are a major trend this spring, with many fashion icons embracing them as a stylish choice for everyday summer outfits. However, selecting and styling these shorts can be challenging, and if not done correctly, the results can be quite unflattering. Here are a few tips to help you choose and effortlessly style your long shorts.

How To Choose Long Shorts That Work For You? 

1 || Consider your height

The general rule is to choose a pair of long shorts that sit right at fingertip length, meaning the hem reaches the point where your fingertips naturally rest when your arms are relaxed at your sides. For shorter women, shorts that sit slightly above the fingertips will still provide the necessary coverage without creating an unflattering look. Taller women can experiment with different lengths without worrying about the shorts cutting at the wrong place.

If you’re inspired by Scandinavian fashion, try long shorts that hit in the middle of the kneecap. Regardless of the length you choose, our advice is to try things on and see what looks best on you.

2 || Consider how you want to wear it

When it comes to long shorts, it’s not just about the shorts themselves, but also about the other pieces in your outfit. Styling can be tricky, so consider how you’ll wear them when shopping for the right pair.

For example, if you’re planning to wear a bikini, tank top, and sandals, denim long shorts that sit at your fingertips would be the best choice. On the other hand, if you’re pairing them with a button-down shirt and ballet flats, a tailored linen pair that hits just above your fingertips might be more appropriate.

3 || Consider the size and silhouette 

Roomy and relaxed are the two words that describe the trend. A spacious pair with a straight or slightly angular cut will flatter most body types. Also, consider sizing up for an oversized fit.
