Shorts Glow Up

By sarahkellystyle

Just a few swaps = a totally modern YOU in your denim shorts this summer!

If you’re over 40, denim shorts can still be one of your go-to summer staples — if you update the fit and vibe.
Here’s the truth:
• Avoid: Baggy or boxy fits that drown your shape.
• Skip: Overly distressed styles that can feel dated.
• Watch out for: Lengths that hit at the widest part of your thigh.

Instead:
• Pick: Clean, dark washes for an elevated feel.
• Choose: Slim, structured cuts that elongate your legs.
• Aim for: Mid-thigh length to keep proportions fresh and flattering.

Denim Shorts Do’s & Don’ts:
Baggy or boxy fits that drown your shape. Instead opt for slim, structured cuts that elongate your legs. A slight a-line shape is very flattering in the thighs. These shorts have great stretch & fit true to size.

Most women over 40 aren’t wearing the wrong shorts because they don’t care about style —
they’re wearing the wrong shorts because no one ever told them what actually works.

The GLOW-UP moves:
✅ Structured, mid-thigh cuts (hello legs!)
✅ Dark or classic washes = chic, timeless
✅ Tailored waist fits that highlight your shape

Somewhere along the way, we were told that once we hit 40, we had to trade comfort for style—or worse, give up on both.

But here’s the truth: You can feel beautiful, modern, and confident in shorts again.

These from @kohls:
• Move with you, not against you
• Hit the right spot on your legs & your self-esteem
• Pair perfectly with whatever your day looks like—school drop-offs, soccer Saturdays, or a solo iced latte moment
