Shorts can be a Brit of a worry for women
IT’S all very well for Britney.
When your boyfriend is a personal trainer, it’s possible to be 36 and still have the abs, thighs and bum required to step out in what is basically a pair of denim knickers.
For the rest of us, Daisy Dukes are up there with thong bikinis, crop tops and backless evening gowns on the list of things that it is not a good idea to wear in public.
They look carefree and effortlessly cool.
But they require long, tanned legs, a neat butt and a flat stomach, which is why they are beloved of coltish 18-year-olds and feared by grown women with BMIS that are out of their teens.
Swapping in a sawn-off pair of mom jeans, or just going for a longer leg, immediately makes denim shorts less terrifying.
Tucking in a loose shirt or long-sleeved top looks relaxed and balances out all that leg.
Cowboy boots, as Britney’s pics show, are a bit try-hard. Birkenstocks or Converse are an easy alternative.
And put your belly button away. No one likes a show off.
