    How can I find shorts that are not slutty?
    Community Answer
    You can make your own shorts, but some places to buy shorts are Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, and Hollister. A rule of thumb to follow is: look in the mirror at your butt, can you see your cheeks? If yes, then don't buy them. If no, you should be fine.

    I love to wear really short jean shorts, what is a recommend shirt that will make it seem more flattering?
    Community Answer
    Crop tops, because they don't cover the shorts up so you don't look like you aren't wearing pants. You could also find a shirt that highlights your waist. Make sure the shorts are not the same color as the shirt.

  • Question
    How can I wear short shorts and not have my underwear showing?
    Community Answer
    Smaller underwear would work, such as thongs. They won’t show under your short shorts. Avoid boy shorts or full briefs, as these would likely show under short shorts.

    Avoid wearing tops and jackets that are long enough to cover your shorts. A baggy top in a cropped style can give you a VSCO look without attracting the wrong kind of attention. Alternatively, pair a fitted crop top with baggier shorts.

    You should wear shorts if you feel comfortable, but you don't have to give up on them. Try different types of shorts to find a style that makes you feel more confident. If you're concerned about your legs looking short, consider high-waisted, baggier shorts, as they can make your legs appear longer and slimmer.
