Celeb Style: What are the best shorts for your body type?

    Athletic: Cut-offs
    Pull off a sexy bad-girl vibe by wearing your cutoffs with a fitted tank top and high-top sneakers like Rihanna. Athletic girls look the best in these daisy dukes. For a more classic look, tuck a flowy blouse into the shorts and finish off with a pair of ballet flats.

    Thin: Mid-thigh shorts
    A thin frame like Kate Bosworth's is made for mid-thigh shorts. One with an unconventional fabric like her tanned leather pair can even compliment your skin tone. Complete the look with a boxy top and comfy flats (arm candy optional).

    Petite: High-waist shorts
    Accentuate a slim waist and get long gams with high-waisted shorts. For you petite gals, starting a pair of shorts high on the legs will give the illusion of never-ending pins. Lengthen your gams even more with a pair of heels and bralet top like Adrienne Bailon here, or cover up in a polished tuxedo jacket.

    Tall and Lanky: Bermudas
    Take a cue from Gwyneth Paltrow and work a pair of trendy bermudas if you have long, lanky legs. You might think it’s reserved for lazy dudes on the weekends, but a chic printed pair worn with booties can be a surprising update on the usual summer skirt or loose-fitting pants. Your slim calves will take centre stage.

Be it short, tall, slim, athletic or curvy, there's a style to suit you. Our celebs show you how to pick just the right pair.

Whether you're a fan of showing a little leg or not, there's no doubt that a pair of shorts is the easiest go-to item on a sweltering hot day. They're comfortable, convenient and let your legs see the light of day. But just because you saw a friend wearing a pair in a certain cutting, doesn't mean you would look the same in those shorts if you're of different body types.

Identify the category you fall into and you'll better understand what you would look good in when shopping for a pair of denim cut-offs or a tailored pair. Whether you're short, tall, slim, athletic or curvy, there's definitely a style to suit you. Styling and the occasion you're wearing them for are also factors to consider when shopping for shorts, so make sure you're sure that it's safe within the dress code.

Learn a thing or two from our celebs in the gallery and see which leading lady's body type you identify with.
