Shorts are having a moment. Actually, it's more like a movement. Gone are the days when they were mostly for camping, gardening, or lounging at the beach. They're not even restricted to hot summer months. In fact, they're making an appearance day and night - all year long.

Not only are they comfortable, but this season's shorts are a refreshing option to the all-too-common mini skirt or sundress. Easy to dress up with a fun, frilly top, they're perfect for a special night out. Or if you're looking for a simple way to look cool - a worn in tee and fedora make them a perfect weekend look.

There are so many colors and fabrics to choose from. For evening, choose a well-fitting, sleek pair in white, black or grey in fabrics such as satin or cotton. Wear with a bright pair of pumps for an extra pop. Go with denim or cotton shorts in earthy neutrals or for daytime and punch them up with colorful tunics and tees. Or, find a fun floral or ikat print and pair with a plain top and metallic sandal.

Also, there's no need to feel self-conscious. Shorts aren't just for long-legged model types. You just have to find the right fit and cut for your body. If you're short, stick with a length that hits right below the thigh - they'll make your legs look even longer when paired with a wedge or heel. Taller frames can do very short or knee length. Curvy girls want something that skims the body - nothing too clingy. Even better in a dark color to slim hips. And, avoid cargo shorts at all costs. They don't to anybody any favors!

So find the perfect pair for your figure and rock them - day or night. They're a great alternative to jeans and dresses - and are just as flattering!
