Manish Malhotra dressed Priyanka Chopra in casual shorts in the hit film, Dostana, and people can’t stop gushing about the way Priyanka looked. Little wonder then that Manish was caught giving his “fashion forecasts” to anyone with a camera and a mike. “Simple, casual and clean”, that’s the look.

So have you been inspired by Priyanka to try wearing shorts? Have you really given it a try? Or have you been scared off by problems like showing too much skin, showing fat thighs, big butt etc? Well, fikar not jaani! Now everyone can wear shorts, dearies. With the styling tips that Memsaab brings for all its lovely visitors, everyone can look like a Diva. We bring you a classification of shorts, along with tips on which one to wear…

1. Medium Length: This is the classic style that can be worn by anyone and anywhere. From golf to shopping to walking, you can wear this style anywhere. The main highlight of this style is that the length is long enough to cover (flabby) upper thighs, and yet it is short enough to make your legs appear long.

2. Knee Length: As the name suggests, this style will end near the knee and will visually divide your legs into two halves. This is the style for women who have rather fat thighs. To make this style look sexier, choose the low waist option.

The problem with knee length is that it can make short legs appear even shorter. But the good news is that with the right kind of heels, you can fix that little problem.

3. Capris: If you are a woman who is absolutely not comfortable showing off her legs, this style is for you. Capris can be made out of denim or any other cloth. They usually cover 3-4th of your legs. Funky styles with embellishments look really look on youngsters.

4. Shorties: This style works wonders for women with short legs. The problem of short legs can be solved by wearing shorts that are short. An inseam of around 5 inches is great for this purpose. Remember, shorter the shorts, longer will your legs appear.

Don’t forget to add extra length by wearing high heels.

5. Foldovers: This is a style that allows you to alter the length by using side hooks or buttons. This style is particularly meant for women with thin legs. No matter how thin your legs might be, this style can add up a little curve.

To make short legs look longer, go for a shorter style.
To make heavy thighs look slimmer, go for a longer style.
To make a heavy butt appear slimmer, avoid back pockets and embellishments. Also avoid pleats.

If you are worried about showing too much skin, there’s another sexy option for you. It is a very happening trend today to wear tights under shorts or short skirts. Why don’t you try doing that? It is a great idea for women who want to wear shorts without having to show skin. So go shopping today!
