Our Fashion Friends wanted to know: How does a woman of a certain age wear shorts? It’s too cold in the Northeast; it’s spring in the South. How does a girl style shorts – and more importantly, should she?
Your favorite personal stylist Holly Katz recently received a styling request (who even knew that was a thing, but it is now!!) from a dedicated fashion friend - and we are here to answer it: How To Wear Shorts?

Obviously we all ‘know’ how to wear shorts. You put one foot in, you put the other foot in… But at a certain point in a woman’s life, or in a specific season, are shorts a Fashion Crime or not?
Well, it depends. Like many women, Holly was a bit self-conscious about her legs and showing them off in shorts until HER personal stylist, and our fairy gay mother, Nolan Meader told her she was being RIDICULOUS. There are many ways to wear this very stylish and comfortable item that can work for all ages, all body types and all seasons.
What Holly loves about shorts is that they can be super casual or super dressy, depending on how you coordinate everything together. The type of shoes, accessories, and legwear you add to the mix can make all the difference. And yes, you can totally wear shorts in the winter and year ‘round.
Now before we go any further, everything we are talking about on this episode has been posted on Holly’s Pinterest board called “Holly’s Hot Picks, Spring Shorts.”

What are the different types of shorts?
If this is a trend you would like to try, we always have to go back to the drawing board and figure out what your body type is - and what type of shorts will look best on you. The type of shorts that will look best on you will probably not look best on someone else.
Which shorts are right for you?
Here is your free fashion tip: Short-shorts are a Fashion Crime for most humans. Short-shorts are NOT appropriate for anyone, unless you are 6-feet tall and 19 years old. Write this down for anyone who might need to know this.
How to style shorts so you can wear them year-round:
Don’t be afraid of your legs. As Holly always says, “The first step is awareness.” Know your body type. Dress for the season. Accessorize. Cover your butt.
