Nothing says summer like a pair of easy-breezy shorts. But many women have a love/hate relationship with shorts and capris. If you’re one of the haters, now’s the time to give these wardrobe staples another try. Chances are, you just haven’t found the best style for your body type. Available in sizes 12W and up—in a variety of lengths, colors and styles—our plus size shorts and plus size capris are designed to fit and flatter fuller figures. Whether you prefer denim cutoffs, long Bermudas or culottes, we make it easy for you to find your perfect pair— this could be the summer you find yourself pleasantly surprised.
At Woman Within, there’s a pair of shorts for everybody. You just have to find the one that suits your body. The key is to highlight your best assets while downplaying your least favorite. If you’re an apple shape, pick a pair that nips in your waistline without creating a muffin-top effect. Try fitted styles with a high waist or a belt and pair them with looser fitting tops to create a more balanced look. If you have a pear shape, highlight your waist and downplay your hips with soft, flowing A-line styles that hit above the knee. If you’re an hourglass, you can pull off most styles as long as you pair them with the right top. Accentuate your natural curves with form-fitting styles or mid-rise shorts with contoured waistbands. Rectangular body types can create the illusion of curves with print and textured styles or form-fitting, knee-length shorts like Bermudas.
A stylish and chic alternative to skirts and shorts, capris and cropped pants are a great way to update your work wardrobe. The shorter silhouette feels fresh and modern, plus they’re incredibly easy to dress up or down. Our plus size capris come in a variety of lengths—from above the knee to just above the ankle. To find the most flattering pair, pay attention to the length. Avoid styles that hit the widest part of your calves and look for pairs that fall above the thinnest part of your ankles. If you’re a pear shape, flat front, straight-leg styles can balance out wider hips. If you’re an hourglass or have thick ankles, try a tapered capri in a drapey fabric. Rectangular shapes can create a more curvy silhouette with pleated styles. Whatever your shape, you’ll find a pair that looks and feels great to wear.
