Shorts can be flattering but buying a size too small can create a “muffin top” effect. Buying a larger size can create a sleeker silhouette. Belts can prevent slipping and loose tops can balance long torsos. Dark wash and heels can elongate legs.
Shorts are pants that are made with a short length from the waist to where the leg begins. The zipper, if you use one, may only be a few inches (centimeters) long. Many people find these pants create a flattering fit, while others find them uncomfortable.
One mistake people often make when shopping for shorts is buying pants that are too small. The lower rise means that people who carry extra weight around their abdomens can often fit in a smaller size, but just because they can fit in that size doesn’t mean they should. When buttoned, low-rise pants can push a person’s excess abdominal fat above the waistband of the pants, creating the dreaded “muffin top” effect.
The bun top could be avoided entirely if the wearer simply bought their pants in the next larger size, allowing everything to stay where it belongs. While many people like to fit into the smallest pants they can, buying the largest size actually makes the wearer appear slimmer, because it creates a sleeker silhouette.
Some people don’t care for hipsters because they feel that every time they fold up, they risk showing too much. This problem can be alleviated by wearing a well-fitting belt, which will prevent the pants from slipping when the wearer bends over.
People who have long torsos and short legs often don’t care how they look in shorts. The low rise can make the torso appear longer, because the pants start very low on the body. This can be reduced somewhat by wearing the pants with a loose top instead of a tailored shirt that is tucked in.
Shorts, particularly those with a straight or moderately flared leg, can give the wearer a long, slim look. If a person really wants to maximize this look, he should choose a pair in a dark wash. When worn with a pair of heels, the wearer may be surprised at how different it looks.
