Luckily a fashion whizz for curvy women has revealed the five things you need to look out for when buying shorts to make sure they’re a winner – and what to avoid.
Chichi O, from the US, shared her tips in a YouTube video so that you can avoid ill-fitting shorts this summer.
Don’t buy the same size as your jeans
The fashion whizz revealed that you should never buy denim shorts in the same size as your jeans.
“When your shorts are too tight they ride up,” Chichi adds, she recommends sizing up by at least one size to prevent this.
It also helps your shorts look more relaxed – which is exactly how you want to feel in summer.

Who likes short shorts?
Not Chichi, a common mistake she sees is women buying shorts that are far too short in length.
The fashion whizz isn’t against curvy women wearing short clothing, far from it, but short shorts will ride up when you’re walking about.
“Pick a pair of shorts an inch or two inches longer than where your thighs meet.
“This is specifically for my girls whose thighs touch,” explains Chichi.

If you are a die-hard fan of short shorts, Chichi recommend using double sided tape to stick the shorts to your legs in attempt to stop them riding up.
The wrong silhouette
For curvy, pear and hourglass body shapes, A-line and paper bag silhouettes are you best friends when it comes to shorts.
They tend to favour your shape more and allow you to cinch in your waist, flattering your curves.
but you should stay away from boyfriend style shorts which have a boxy shape and less stretch as they look better on triangle and rectangular body shapes.
Use the size chart
We know that different shops use different measurements for their sizes.
Chichi recommends going old school and measuring your waist and hips with a measuring tape to know exactly what size you are.

That way you can compare it to each shops size chart and make sure your shorts fit perfectly.
but as she said earlier, make sure you size up one or two sizes to keep the relaxed feel.
