1. What Kind of Shorts Suit Your Age? 🎯

Shorts are versatile staples—whether you're 18 or 80, the trick is choosing a style that reflects both your personal style and your life stage. Here's a breakdown of trending and timeless options by age bracket:

Teens (16–19)

  • Denim Cut‑Offs, Boxer-Style Loungewear Shorts or Athleisure Shorts from brands like Ganni or SKIMS offer comfort and street style appeal. Keep waistbands high on body-conscious culottes or low-rise for a laid-back vibe.

  • Trendy Note: Elasticated boxer-lounge styles offer a gender-neutral casual look but ensure fabric opacity before going out.

Twenties (20–29)

  • Tailored Shorts in linen or suiting fabric are ideal for smart casual or workwear. Belt loops and mid-thigh length are flattering. Use Tellar’s hip-to-waist enhancements to avoid gapping.

Thirties (30–39)

  • Bermuda Shorts, hitting just above the knee, are polished yet relaxed—great for city and weekend wear. They're flattering on pear-shaped or athletic builds.

  • High-Rise Structured Shorts in suiting materials offer a curated look. Tellar helps ensure they don’t go tight at the waistband.

Forties and Beyond (40+)

  • Opt for Tailored High-Waist Shorts with a modest length (mid-thigh to just above knee). They provide both comfort and sophistication.

  • Linen & Woven Shorts in wider cuts offer breathability and flexibility. Tellar’s data on rise and hip measurements is invaluable here.

Across all ages, consider:

  • Waist Type: Elastic vs. structured. Elastic provides comfort, structured offers elegance.

  • Rise: Mid to high-rise elongates the leg line.

  • Length: Mid-thigh or bermuda for classic wear; hot-pant for youthful statement.

  • Fabric: Linen, cotton blends, technical fabrics—each has distinct sizing needs.

2. Fitting Shorts the Right Way

The key measurements are waist, hips, thigh circumference, and rise. Age can influence waist-to-hip ratio and body proportions, so relying on age as guidance only can mislead. Here's how brands vary:
