01. BERMUDA SHORTS

Bermuda shorts are a popular choice for women of all ages. With approximately a 12-inch inseam, these long shorts are incredibly versatile! Long, flattering bermuda shorts can match just about any style and comfort preference.

You can find a pair of bermuda shorts in cotton, bengaline, denim, polyester, bamboo, or other fabrics. You can also find a variety of colored and printed shorts to choose from. These bold and bright styles can easily become the visual focal point of your look. Plus, they give you the flexibility to wear them with whatever style top suits you.

02. PULL-ON STRETCH SHORTS

If you have a hard time warming up to a pair of shorts because they feel too restrictive, don’t fret. Pull-on shorts make the ideal option for a comfortable style choice.

In most cases, this style of short is designed with a tummy-control lining to boost confidence. This stretch lining offers an additional layer of comfort and helps smooth out your contours.

You’ll find stretch shorts ranging from bike shorts to shorts embroidered with cute designs. There are many kinds of shorts with pull-on accessibility that can make you look and feel cute and cozy.

03. DENIM SHORTS

If you’re looking for a pair of shorts that takes you back to your younger years, denim shorts can offer a sense of nostalgia for your style. Available in a variety of styles and lengths, having a solid pair of denim shorts in your wardrobe is a must. Style your denim shorts with anything from a classic t-shirt to a flowing blouse for a relaxed and easygoing look.

04. SKORTS

Skorts offer the look and style of a skirt with the protection and coverage of a pair of shorts.

If you’ve never owned or worn a skort, the idea is simple. Skorts go on like a pair of shorts, with individual holes for each leg. However, they include a piece of fabric that wraps around the front of the shorts to create the illusion of a skirt. This façade hides the shorts underneath.

Skorts are a stylish and comfortable option that you can wear for a casual or dressy occasion. Women love them because they add modesty and prevent chafing in the heat. In a skort, it’s easy to go from the country club or the tennis court to the beach or a barbeque.

05. LUCY PULL-ON SHORTS

Lucy shorts by Erika make a cute choice for someone who’s looking for comfort without wearing a pair of sweat shorts. This style is designed to cinch at the waist and create an A-line flare around the leg.

Plus, they’re a great way to beat the heat without sacrificing style. Lucy Pull-On Shorts make a great alternative to a sundress on a summer day. They’re chic and stylish but offer maximum comfort on warmer days.

06. SCALLOP HEM SHORTS

Scallop hem shorts are a whimsical new trend that adds a little extra detail to shorts of all lengths! Rather than a straight seam, they have a feminine scalloped edge to add visual interest to any outfit. This finishing style reminds us of delicate flower petals or gentle ocean waves. It’s a simple way to dress up a basic shorts-and-top outfit without compromising on comfort.

Best of all, you can find scallop hemmed shorts in nearly any length. We love them in a modest and stylish bermuda length for an extra confidence boost. However, you’ll find this playful trend in shorter styles, too. The whimsical hem can elevate a basic neutral or add a true sense of play to a bright, colorful pair!

Shop Anthony’s for Everything You Need

Finding a comfortable and flattering pair of shorts can seem more difficult with age. However, it’s definitely possible to find types of shorts you’ll love!
