Fashion Do's of Plus Size Shortss


DO toss your jeans in storage this summer and bare your legs in plus sized shorts! Many full figure women choose to wear long denim pants all summer. It’s not only uncomfortable, but unnecessary. There are loads of flattering plus sized clothes to take advantage of this warm weather season! We recommend OneStopPlus for this item.


DO consider going preppy with a crisp pair of Dockers khaki shorts. Cotton khaki shorts are not only comfortable, but they allow you to pair them with a variety of tops to create a look specific for your lifestyle. They can be done in a casual way with flip flops and a tank, or they can be done with a polo shirt and loafers for a more professional look. We recommend Lane Bryant for this item.


DO go all out for comfort by choosing shorts with an elastic waist band. While you may not like the way the shorts look on the hanger, you can bet you’ll love them when they’re sitting comfy on your body! After all, no one will see your waist line in them under your shirt. We recommend Roamans for this item.


DO look for clothing with stretch material within their fabric. Womens apparel that includes some sort of stretch fabric is ideal because they don’t usually shrink during the washing process. They are also forever comfortable, no matter if you’re having a skinny day or are suffering from bloating. We recommend Catherines for this item.


DO take in the beach while wearing Bermuda board shorts! Spring is almost over and summer is on its way so hit the beach with trendy board shorts instead of your usual swim suit wrap-around. Throw on your bathing suit underneath and you’ll be ready for fun in the sun!


Fashion Don'ts of Plus Size Shorts


DON'T forget to think about length when it comes to choosing the most flattering styles of plus sized shorts. If you’re trying to conceal your upper thigh area, consider shorts that are a bit looser in style. Shorts that hit about an inch above your knee are most flattering for all body types and will keep you cool and stylish this summer.


DON’T be afraid to try the trendy long shorts this fashion season. This year shorts that hit right at the knee, or even a bit below are quite popular. They’re not quite as long as Capri or crop pants, but they’re longer than traditional shorts. These styles look best when the long shorts have a slight flair at the bottom hem.


DON'T pull out the gaucho shorts this year! While they were adorable last season and the season before, gauchos are not a hip item on the runways today. For hottest trends look for pink or purple plaid, fitted cuts and those with slight flairs at the bottom!!
