Summer is here, and I’m welcoming the warm weather by letting my thighs breathe. Now, I know what you’re thinking: You’re wondering how I, a fellow plus-size woman, recommend shorts when I know that the plus-size fashion “rules” say we should cover our legs. Honestly? We’re saying down with that mentality and are leaving being self-conscious about wearing shorts in the rearview mirror—and to celebrate, we found the best plus-size shorts of 2024.
As a curvy girl, shorts have been notoriously hard for me to shop for because of my—what some would call—thunder thighs. To be honest, for some time, I completely gave up on wearing shorts that weren’t defined as activewear, and the only jean shorts I wore were cutoffs of men’s jeans I had thrifted. But after finally finding a pair that I loved, I got to a turning point—and these shorts can help you do the same.
Ready to let your legs free all summer long? These are the plus-size shorts that should be on your radar.
