      I envy everyone who can pull them off haha. Short inseams look…off on me? Summer’s rough for me because short shorts make my hips look narrower and I’m also like 90% leg because of my height.

      I think I look really good in hiking shorts and high-waisted linen shorts, but moreso in a camp counselor kind of way, and I also wanna pull off an alt look too without boiling in jeans. Someday I’ll figure it out!

        Yeah, they don’t work for everyone … lots of other shorts combos make me look frumpy though, lol.

        For you, how about Capri pants in linen?

        If you don’t want short shorts or to look like a youth leader, then maybe lycra shorts would work. I have to be careful picking them though, because of camel toe issues :-/

          Love those ideas! Lycra shorts + old band tees/tanks are great when I go jogging.

          Thinking about what works with my linen and hiking shorts, I think it’s the high waist and the wide leg so it’s still leggy (but like 75% leg instead of 90%), but creates an hourglass shape around the hips.

          Cutoffs tend to be really form-fitting, so maybe I need to find a pair of denim shorts with a wide leg. Maybe I’ll still look like a camp counselor after that, but screw it. Goth camp counselor. 🐈‍⬛ ⛺
