YES, you can pull off shorts at 40, 50 and beyond and feel good about it. I do think it can be frustrating at my age to find the perfect length but there are no rules or reasons we can’t wear them!
Like I said It can be awfully frustrating finding shorts to wear at this age considering I’m not a huge fan of the traditional Bermuda length. However, after a lot of searching, I found the perfect shorts that will compliment your height, look, and occasion! Check out the links below to see some of my favorites that I found.
The Relaxed Shorts from Anthropologie will soon become one of your favorites . With a 6.5 ” inch inseam and a little stretch they look great with so many different tops. Impeccably tailored with lots of colors to choose from and a really nice fabric.
These are semi short but appropriate and perfect for a backyard Bar-b-q , beach vacation or just a casual night out. They can also be dressed up if you’d like!

I purchased the Habitual EMIL Mid Rise Boyfriend shorts but they are now sold out. The PAIGE Sarah Shorts are very similar and ready for all sorts of summertime adventures. These PAIGE shorts have a longer length than typical cutoff and keep the broken-in look you love with raw hems and a distressed finish.

Remember that you want to look classy and not trashy. Make sure that your shorts are not too tight and your top is not too skimpy!
