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 plus size woman, can recommend shorts when I know the “rules” of plus size fashion say we should cover our legs. Honestly? We’re saying goodbye to that mentality and leaving the discomfort of wearing shorts behind—and to celebrate, we’ve found the best plus size shorts of 2024.
As a curvy girl, I’ve found it notoriously difficult to shop for shorts because of my—what some would call—bulging thighs. To be honest, for a while I completely gave up on wearing shorts that weren’t defined as athletic wear, and the only denim shorts I wore were men’s cutoff jeans I bought at the thrift store. But after finally finding a pair I liked, I hit a turning point—and these shorts can help you do the same.
