9 Summer Shorts Perfect For Flaunting Curves

I have a little secret: Shorts don't have to be terrifying. Sure, it's easy to equate wearing shorts with the anxiety producing process of say, trying on swimsuits. The truth is there are a pair of shorts for everybody — and every occasion.

Love your thighs? Show 'em off! Not so much? Not a problem — there are plenty of chic options in longer lengths. My inner bohemian is taking over my summer wardrobe and I'm currently obsessed with cheeky shorts paired with kimono tops. But, when my fashion mind changes (as it always does!) preppy, bermuda-style shorts are back on the summer style agenda.

I've rounded up nine pairs of shorts — both casual and more polished — that work for any body type. Go for it, take your pants off.
