If you're over 40 and struggling to find shorts that feel modern and flattering, the issue usually isn't you -it's the fit formula. Here's what to look for: • Mid-rise waist: Creates shape & comfort without the dreaded muffin top. 5" inseam: Long enough for coverage, short enough to still feel fresh. Structured Fabric: Gives polish, smooths out without being restrictive. Slim but not tight leg: Streamlines the silhouette without clinging to every curve. LTKOver40 LTKootd LTKSeasonal
