What are popular styles of women’s shorts?

Today’s popular styles of women’s shorts range from retro, to sporty, to downright elegant. Whether you’re working out or traveling to the tropics, there’s a gorgeously crafted pair of shorts you’ll love from an independent designer on Etsy. From contemporary styles to vintage shorts and skorts , here are a few of the types of women’s shorts you’ll find on Etsy: Women’s athletic shorts : Women’s workout shorts are often made from moisture-wicking materials and provide stretch and comfort during physical activities. For a snugger fit, popular styles include women’s bike shorts and women’s yoga shorts. If you’re looking for something a bit looser, consider women’s board shorts and basketball shorts, or a tailored pair of women’s golf shorts. Women’s tailored shorts : For semi-formal, sophisticated, or business casual looks, consider tailored shorts. Women’s khaki shorts offer a classic look, while women’s linen shorts and softer cotton shorts are elegant yet laid-back. Women’s denim shorts : It’s arguable that women’s jean shorts have ever gone out of style. Denim shorts offer a casual summer look that you can wear pretty much anywhere. Go for cutoffs for that frayed, relaxed style, or choose high-waisted shorts for a retro vibe. Women’s Bermuda shorts : If short shorts aren’t your style, Bermuda shorts offer a timeless and gorgeous alternative; these women’s knee-length shorts offer a more modest look. Denim Bermuda shorts combine two styles for one fashionable look. Women’s cargo shorts : Typically sporting two additional pockets on the legs, cargo shorts are practical and are built for activities like hiking or camping.

How do you shop for women’s shorts?

As you shop for a pair of shorts online, you’ll have the opportunity to select different design features depending on the look you’re after. These details are shared in each item listing, and when you shop directly from real people on Etsy you can also easily reach out with a message if you’ve got any additional questions about the fit of the shorts. Here are a few things to review before purchasing a pair of shorts online: Length: Find the length that works for you. This will depend on what you’re comfortable with, combined with the style you prefer. Longer shorts are more modest and shorter lengths show off your limbs. If you’re a fashion rule-breaker, dare to wear any length that speaks to you. Sizing: Fitted shorts can be a fashionable option, but shorts that are too tight will be uncomfortable. Too baggy, on the other hand, can feel too loose. Know your measurements to help select the right size for a comfortable and flattering fit. Material: Choose your shorts material based on how you’ll be wearing them. For example, moisture-wicking fabrics are well-suited for sports, while fine fabrics like silk are best saved for dressier occasions. Women’s linen shorts are a versatile summer staple that you can dress up or down.

How can you customize women’s shorts?

Women’s clothing designers on Etsy offer many different options for customizing various types of shorts. Customized shorts can be a perfect addition to a capsule wardrobe ; when they’re made especially for you, you’re guaranteed a flattering fit that will make them that much more wearable for years to come. In addition to custom measurements and features, shops on Etsy can also add personalization like embroidered monograms or initials.

5 out of 5 stars

"These are great. I am in between sizes and these are Large and I decided to order the M next time because of the looseness of the waist. My waist is 29/30 and hips are 39/40 inches. They feel softer after washing. I like the longer length. Can wear the short terry shorts over."

"Good quality, fast shipping. The shorts are stretchy and a tiny bit shorter than I thought they’d be which is actually ideal because it was 100% the look I was going for. The seller was responsive, ran the design by me before printing fairly quickly."
