Shorts can be great, too

Just as you don't want a dress that accentuates your butt, you don't want shorts that are tight in that area. If you've got hot legs, you can go ahead and wear some SHORT shorts. If you're not ready to bare them, that's okay -- opt for a short that hits right above the knee. Also, stay away from a really high waist -- those tend to show how low your bottom is, and that's just what you're trying to avoid. Rich and Skinny 'Preppy' Shorts available at Nordstrom
