This spring, shorts aren’t just for those with long, supermodel legs. That’s because Cocktail Shorts flatter just about every figure. They’re more voluminous that your standard short short, so you’ll never have to worry about muffin tops and pinched thighs while sitting.
Cocktail Shorts come in an ostentatious bevy of stunning colours, but if blacks and neutrals are your thing, plenty of designers have options for you too. They can be worn casually to the beach or a BBQ, or dressed up with a pair of heels and cute top that could be worn at an upscale bar.
Of course, if you’re not comfortable wearing something that short, longer alternatives work well too. Even knee-length pants can have a stunning effect and again work well in multiple scenarios.
