THE SHORT & LONG OF SHORTS INSEAMS
RIGHT AT THE KNEE
The inseam can be as long as 10 inches. This style is recommended for those with larger frames. It will lengthen your frame. Do not go too long, it will make you look shorter.

ABOVE THE KNEE
The inseam measures approximately 9-10 inches. This will reach just above the knee, as the name suggests. This range is pretty standard for most shorts and works well for almost all body types.

LOWER-THIGH
The inseam is between 7-9 inches and less. The inseam will reach just a few inches below the knee. Think of a pair of boxer shorts with legs. This is best for slimmer, regular and athletic bodies.

UPPER-THIGH
The inseam is between 5-7 inches and so. It will reach just below your hip and knee. Think of square-cut swim trunks when looking at lengthwise. This style is best for slimmer bodies.

ABOVE THE UPPERTHIGH
The inseam is approximately 4" to 4" less. This would be close to the hotpants category. This is a job for professionals, unless your shorts game has reached its peak or you are strutting down a runway.

A 9-10 inch inseam is the best option if you prefer shorts that fall above your knee.
