Cover problem areas like dimpled or flabby thighs with a slim-fitting pair of shorts like these from Not Your Daughter's Jeans (Buy Direct) that hit at the knee.
Why We Love Knee-Length Shorts: Although knee-length shorts can make short legs look shorter, it's easy to balance it out with a pair of wedges for extra leg length. Also, look for slim-cut shorts -- these jean-style shorts are perfect -- to give your legs a longer, slimmer look (too-full shorts look more like gauchos at this length and aren't flattering.)
