Episode 38 - How to choose shorts and wear them with confidence

In this beautiful summer weather it is important to feel physically and psychologically comfortable in your clothes. 

Sometimes choosing and wearing shorts can feel confronting if your legs have been hidden over the winter. 

This episode unpacks the options, decisions and everything else about shorts that you might need to consider to get yourself into a pair this summer. 

Here are 10 things to consider when choosing the perfect pair for you: 

1. What is your comfort level - what can you handle and try
2. Fabric – do you want stiff,  stretchy,  soft or slinky?
3. Waisted-ness  - high, mid or low rise?
4. Length  - short, mid thigh or longer?
5. Leg width – Slim,  medium,  wide or super flared?
6. Pale legs  - choosing the right colour for your legs.  
7. Body shape - what works for you?
8. Choose the right shoes for shorts -flat,  chunky,  platform,  sandals or shoes.
9. Choose the right tops for shorts - long,  cropped,  fitted or relaxed.
10. Positive self talk and start by wearing them around the house and don’t compare yourself to others.

Enjoy the summer and the freedom of shorts..
