Shorts and Capris for Those Warm Summer Days and Nights

Whether it's the height of summer or just a day that inspires thoughts of warm breezes and long afternoons, women's shorts and capris fit a sunny mood. Capri pants fall somewhere between shorts and full-length pants; they offer a cool and casual look with a bit more coverage. First popularized in the late 1940s, capris have a vintage charm that's especially appealing today. They're as fun to wear as they are flattering.

Deciding whether to wear capri pants or shorts is largely a matter of taste, but choosing the right pair of casual shorts and capris can really make a look. One important consideration is fabric. Thicker cloth tends to hold its shape better; jeans look so good because they gently smooth and compress the body. Opt for denim capris for maximum slimming. Add comfort with a denim blend that contains some stretch. If comfort is paramount, go with a lightweight fabric that features a drawstring waist. Cotton is a cool, comfortable choice, and Sears offers a range of cotton capri pants and shorts from sizes 2 to 26.

Another factor that determines how flattering a pair of shorts or capris looks is length. Consider how the pants will hit the leg. A slimming cut will reach a narrower point on the leg such as just above or below the fullest point of the calf, while straighter legs take on a more curvaceous look if they follow body contours and reach the wide point on the wearer's legs. Skimmers are designed to fall just below the knee. With shorts, coverage is as much a consideration as flattering fit. Shorts are only as comfortable as their wearer feels while wearing them, so select a pair of shorts with an inseam of three inches or longer unless the shorts are designed as hot pants.

The right silhouette can flatter or conceal figure assets, too. Flat-front pants have less fabric to add visual volume; select this shape to slim the waist and flatten the stomach. Pleats have the opposite effect and can give the appearance of a curvier shape where desired. Look for straight and narrow capri legs to emphasize long, lean limbs. Choose a relaxed fit for fuller figures. Emphasize shapely curves with capris that have a gentle fit-and-flare shape along the leg.

Finding the right pair of capris or shorts is easy at Sears. With a wide range of styles, colors, and silhouettes, summer is always just around the corner.
