Short shorts and skirts are everywhere this summer! You might think that this look is only for the tall, leggy gals, but even more petite girls can rock this. You just have to make sure your legs are in tip-top shape. And I don’t mean you need to spend two hours at the gym everyday! Celebs from the 5’1” Hayden Panettiere to the 5’11 Stacy Keibler are baring their stems and looking great!
I love this look because you can dress it up with heels and a great top for a night out like Stacy, or wear some flats and a tee to run errands in style like the gorgeous Heidi Klum who rocks this look even with a baby bump!
Hayden and Jamie Lynn Sigler really show it off in mini-dresses that are perfect for an evening out. Summer is the time to show it off!
It’s a good idea to prep your legs before you try this style. A good place to start is by de-fuzzing. Whether you shave, wax, or use a cream product like Nair, you’re halfway there. The next step is to make sure your legs are moisturized. Nivea Body Skin Firming Moisturizer with Q10 Complex is a great idea, it firms your skin while it moisturizes, which is sure to make you more confident before baring your legs! St. Ives Skin Firming Moisturizing Lotion For Dry Skin is also a great product, with a great price, and I really love the scent.
You might also want to try a self-tanner before getting out there. The Tan Towel is a foolproof product and I am also a huge fan of Victoria’s Secret Bare Bronze Gleaming Self-Tan Body Tint.
