I agree. I am 5'0'' tall and I find that the shorter shorts work best for me. I do not look as good in longer shorts.

[@BethDjalali]

Exactly!!

[@carlaburt8228]

You are amazing. How is it that you become more beautiful and sophisticated with every video? You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for your brand. It speaks to me!

[@BethDjalali]

Wow, thank you!

[@tonipope3164]

I think shorts are all about attitude, sassiness, and confidence. Wear what you are comfortable in... i like them all! Have a wonderful summer! Much love!

[@BethDjalali]

Love that!

[@freddiestark1779]

Great treatise on shorts. I appreciate it when you give all the options and then demonstrate what you are teaching. Denim is my favorite!

[@BethDjalali]

Glad it was helpful!

[@maureenwalters9572]

Thank you again for such awesome advice. I’m 56 yrs young and while I can still “rock” a pair of shorts, I typically don’t wear them out and about anymore. I’m more comfortable wearing light weight capris 😀

[@AgeIsJustANumber]

Great style advice as always. I'm almost 62, petite and will wear shorts all summer here in Texas. I'm posting a video later this week on style suggestions for shorts outfits for the mature woman.

[@BethDjalali]

Sounds great!

[@sharonneely9433]

It’s so hot right now in Texas! Shorts are definitely a must. Will have to watch your video as well.

[@abcstyles]

As a woman of a certain age, YOU are who I’ve been looking for.

[@susanjohnson3973]

Your side swept bang is so pretty, very flattering! Really appreciate all the tips for shorts - thanks so much!

[@BethDjalali]

thanks for watching, Susan!

[@curvesholladay1207]

Love the metallics. You look stunning! Great video. Very helpful.

[@pavla2055]

For myself I'm most comfortable in the city short length - right at the knee - always appropriate and easy to dress up or down . Usually found in a chino type material but also have a couple of pairs in denim . I don't have the best legs and am anxious to avoid becoming some of the unattractive sights I think we've all seen out there . Nice video on the different short looks .

[@BethDjalali]

Thanks for sharing!

[@MsFrewtloop]

Great, professional video Beth. I still like to wear a shorter short in my 50s as I live in a hot climate but I've found that it's more flattering to wear one size up so that they sit a little lower on the hip and longer in the crotch. Tight fitting shorts, even of a modest length, don't look chic imo.

[@almudenadepaz842]

Me encanta su trabajo, da muchas ideas, gracias. Saludos desde Barcelona, España 🙋

[@daoarthur535]

Thank you Beth. I am 68 but I feel we don't have to look old and uptrend. Love your taste.

[@FashiondoneWright]

I'm at the door of 60 don't really like shorts but will try them this year. Love you Beth🌹🌹🌹

[@BethDjalali]

You got this!

[@lindacgrace2973]

LOL I use the 'fingertip length shorts' rule, also. But, I'm only 5'3" and have a long-torso and short legs, so "fingertip" on me is only a 4" inseam! I rock that length all the time - everything else is sagging, but I still have good legs!

[@BethDjalali]

that's why there are a few different lengths out there. one length is sure to be your favorite. like the 4" inseam. keep rocking those shorts!

[@mariafelix7932]

Thank you Beth, all very nice combinations😊🤗

[@BethDjalali]

Glad you like them!

[@channaveerappakv4058]

Nice video. Your styles and tips are amaging. Women will be tempted to try your style irrespective of their age. Keep posting videos on various bold styles for women above 50 years.

[@BethDjalali]

Thank you, I will

[@marigoldhumphrey8362]

I love those gold dangle earrings

[@BethDjalali]

me too!

[@kirbyd0g]

Thank you Beth. I love your videos and tips. You seem like a beautiful woman inside and out.

[@CDU916]

At five foot one I agree shorter length shorts are the most flattering on petite women but past a certain age, there are additional issues. I’m short waisted, thus not fond of the high waisted styles currently in vogue which draw attention to this flaw. My way around this is to go up a size or two so the high waist falls below the natural waistline and settle around the high hip. It works best with well tailored shorts that have a bit of flare. And too-short shorts no longer look scanty when worn this way. I believe when petite women go for a tone-on-tone look many rules can be effectively broken. The illusion of one colour creates an unbroken line which is slimming on any frame and especially helpful for petites. I’ll wear knee lengths when going for a tonal look and feel much more chic than I otherwise would. Love your photo examples, Beth, and it’d be fun to see you demonstrate some of these ideas. Definitely will tune into your channel again.

[@BethDjalali]

thanks so much for your suggestions!

[@christycrawford7084]

I wish I were talll!! I feel a little shy about shorts!! You look so great🥂

You can do it! Shorts look fantastic on shorter women.

Thank you! I am almost 58. My husband is a diplomat and we currently are in Mexico City, therefire I have nor=t worn shorts in 3 years. I was wondering if I would wear them again. Your arm exercises video has encouraged me to try to be fit again. Everytime I tryed with other videos it was just to hard but your exercises are achievable! I want to try them with 3 pounds next!

[@TheRayjane]

Beth another wonderful video! I never knew that tip about where your finger tips hit your leg it’s your length of shorts. I always enjoy all the different pictures of your outfits. You are a wealth of information. You look so glowing and pretty in this video. Those earrings are so eye catching. Where are they from? Thank you and enjoy your day🙏🏼❤️

You are so welcome! The earrings are Tory Burch about two years old.

Felicitaciones Beth 👏 genial tu estilo.

[@OlderWomenRock]

I have heavy legs with chubby knees so never wear shorts 😊 I think mid thigh culottes shorts particularly of a fluid fabric like viscose with a wedge can look great . Xx

[@BethDjalali]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@OlderWomenRock]

Beth Djalali I forgot to mention you look fab in shorts , very stylish 💐

[@CDU916]

Older Women Rock: Thanks for adding another point of view. There’s more than one kind of beauty and that includes legs of all shapes and sizes. If shorts aren’t comfortable for you, fine, but any onlookers will be busy admiring your pretty face and lustrous hair. Even if their gaze drops briefly to include your whole figure, I’d wager they’d quickly be looking back up again. Quite honestly, you’re gorgeous! I didn’t always wear shorts because I have heavier legs. The advantage of aging is I care less about pleasing others notions of beauty. Shorts are cool and easy summer gear. I think I’m quite a bit older than you and hope as a few years go by, your confidence grows in proportion to your beauty and you wear absolutely anything you want. Believe me, you’ll be gorgeous no matter what.

Hi Beth. Great topic. I always enjoy wearing shorts. I really adore your earrings. You're not the only one famous all over world in other u-tuber's video!! Your German Shepherd is too. You guys are celebrities.

Bonjour de la France je croyais qu on pouvait plus mettre de chorts après 60 ans bisous de la France 👍🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@ceregirl5852]

Bonjour Marie Claire Levon. I understand, because I live in Germany and I was married to a French man. European women do not wear shorts very often - maybe on the beach and golf course. However, I was born in the southern United States where it gets very hot and humid. It’s totally acceptable for women over 50 to wear shorts there. Personally, I think they look better when they are a bit dressed up as Beth has done here. I think mostly American women are too casual.The last time I was in Paris, I noticed more women wearing shorts. Rules are changing!

I think is no age to wear shorts. Is about how you feeling and looking. I saw older ladies with so beautiful bodies.

Those longer shorts are more attractive at your age and with the knee scare.

[@jjai471]

Don't think it has anything to do with age but the condition of the legs. So many women of any age have terrible legs for one reason or another and should give shorts a pass.

[@ameliaclark5792]

If it’s hot enough for shorts it’s to hot for a blazer…

[@Felilou1]

[@nadiradjalalova3761]

I think women after 50-60 years old in short shorts do not look attractive, showing aging legs.
