Full–Figured Shorts

When the days start getting warmer, it's time to put away all those sweaters and jeans and break out the shorts. Women's boutique shorts are a classic spring and summer staple that will keep you cool and stylish. 

You don't need to wonder if you can pull off shorts as the weather gets warmer, either. Women of all shapes and sizes can sport a pair of shorts — it's all just about finding the perfect pair that works for you.

At Perfectly Priscilla, we have a wide range of full-figured shorts that will flatter your figure and match your style, keeping you cool and confident all season long. 

Full-Figured Shorts Sizes and Styles

While Perfectly Priscilla specializes in plus-sized clothing, our boutique offers a wide range of other sizes as well. Our women's shorts, for example, come in both plus-size and regular. Whether you are looking for size 0 or size 24, we have shorts that will be a wardrobe staple.

Our boutique also carries so many designs and short options for you to choose from. Whether you're looking for neutral full-figured shorts you can use as a base for both casual and dressy outfits or something with a design and a little bit of edge, we've got it! 

Find the Best Fit

Like with any clothing piece, to find the best pair of full-figured shorts for you, you'll want to understand your body type. There are five main body types: 

• Rectangle
• Triangle
• Hourglass
• Pear 
• Apple 

Depending on your shape, you might want to minimize some areas of your body while highlighting other areas. Ideally, you'd like to create a balanced look with all your fashion choices. For example, styles like cinched waistline shorts would be ideal if you are an hourglass shape since you'd want to highlight your smaller waistline.

Your new pair of Perfectly Priscilla shorts are versatile and can be easily dressed up or down. Here are some fun summer activities where you can sport your new pair of shorts: 

• Summer gatherings, such as picnics
• Holiday celebrations like the Fourth of July or Memorial Day 
• The beach
• Vacation 
• Outings like shopping or the movies 
• Sporting events like baseball games
• Hanging out with friends
• Girl's night out
• Date night

How to Dress up Your Shorts 

Of course, shorts are great for those laid back summer gatherings, but how exactly do you dress them up for nicer events and parties? Here are five tips on how to dress up your curvy shorts: 

1. Think of the shorts as your base: If you are trying to achieve a dressier look, think about the actual shorts you'd like to wear before you start accessorizing. For example, it might be difficult to dress up denim or cargo shorts compared to shorts that feature details like a scalloped bottom or bow on the waistline. Rompers, which feature a dress-like silhouette, also give off more of a dressier feel.
2. Add a nice top: The next most notable feature of your outfit is what top you pair with your shorts. You'd want to avoid basics like solid tanks and tees if you are trying to create a dressier look. Instead, you can pair your shorts with patterned blouses or even an off-the-shoulder top for a more dramatic style.
3. Accessorize your outfit: Jewelry is a great way to add a bit of sparkle to your ensemble. There are many jewelry options including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings and hairpieces. Don't overdo it though. Especially if the jewelry piece you selected is large or showy, less is always more. 
4. Shoes: Shoes can also dress up an outfit. Avoid casual footwear like flip flops and tennis shoes and instead go with sandals, booties or heels. 
5. Hair and makeup: You can dress up your hairstyle by adding bouncy curls or sweeping it up into an elegant updo. Then,to add the finishing touches, you can always boost your typical makeup application techniques and go beyond a minimalistic and natural look by adding some eyeshadow, contouring and a confident lip color to make a fashion statement.
