The sunshine can sometimes be an Irish woman’s nemises. Used to wrapping up in jeans and a jumper, even in the height of summertime, when the temperatures rack up over 15 degrees and it’s time to get the pins out we panic.

Sorting out tan and whacking out the razor is one part of the challenge, but finding shorts that suit our shape and that we feel comfortable to wear is a whole other. While it might seem like a mountainous task, it’s important to remember that clothes are made to fit and flatter you, not the other way around.

Whether you have a rounder bum, long limbs, or are petite there’s a style of short out there for you. Here’s some to get you started.

Bigger Booty

Shorts with a little more of a loose fit will sit comfortably around the bum and thighs without feeling super restricting. Try styles that have a little flare out, but nip in at the waist to give a nice shape to your curves.

Longer Limbs

You’re in luck this summer if you’ve got lovely long legs! The Bermuda short can be seen everywhere right now. From denim to matching suit sets, this longer length short style can be tricky to pull off – but once you get the right dimensions for your body, it looks so chic.
