I did a poll a few weeks ago and was blown away by the number of midlife women who said they are no longer comfortable wearing shorts. And I get it. I thought I would wear shorts and tank tops forever in summer. But then I started seeing dimples begin to pop up on the front of my thighs rather than on the back. I started to see my muscle tone diminish. And while my sun worshipping days are over, there is no amount of self tanner or “cellulite cream” that can totally conceal it.

With that I mind, I set out to find us ALL alternatives to wearing shorts this summer. While there are more to come, here are three alternatives to wearing shorts for you this summer: Linen Pants, Knit Crops, and Full Skirts. Stay tuned for more!
