25 of the best shorts for thick thighs, according to stylists
Best shorts for thick thighs quick picks Longer denim shorts: Good American Good Standard Long Shorts Size-inclusive linen shorts: Universal Standard Juniper Linen Easy Pull-On Shorts Shorts for the gym: Girlfriend Collective Ultralight Run Shorts Tailored twill shorts: Spanx SPANXsupersmooth Stretch Twill Short, 5-Inch The summer temperatures and sun beckon us to bare our legs and pull our favorite shorts out from the back of our wardrobes. The start of a new season might even inspire you to update your current fashion staples and find a new style to flaunt. But if you have thick thighs, it can feel much easier to opt for a flowy maxi skirt or summer dress than risk buying a pair of shorts that ride up, gap at the waist or lead to uncomfortable chafing. At times, it can feel like women's clothes aren't cut with curves in mind, but everyone deserves shorts that can move with their body instead of fighting against it. That's why we consulted stylists to find the best shorts for thick thighs that will make great additions to any summer wardrobe. Madewell The Curvy Denim Emmett Short Personal stylist and size-inclusive fashion expert Michaela Leitz said that this style from Madewell proves that a structured design can still be comfortable. 'The Emmett cut is made for curves, with more room through the hip and thigh and a contoured waistband that doesn't gape,' she said. 'The patch pockets add a subtle vintage touch, and the mid-length inseam makes it both flattering and practical.' Pistola Kennedy Mid-Rise Shorts Grace Na, founder of Pistola, said that the right fabric is important when shopping for shorts for thicker thighs. 'Comfort is key, so look for styles that are made with soft stretch fabric to help mold and move with the body,' Na said. She recommends this flattering Kennedy shorts style, which is made of comfort stretch denim. Good American Good Standard Long Shorts If you're looking for something sleek that will still give your thighs plenty of room, Leitz likes these longer shorts from Good American. 'The 5-inch inseam is that perfect middle ground — long enough to prevent rubbing, short enough to still show some leg,' she said. 'They're stretchy, sculpting and cut with curves in mind. Plus, the high rise keeps everything feeling secure and smoothed out.' Universal Threads Women's High-Rise Long Denim Shorts 'High-waisted denim long shorts are my favorite as a girlie with thicker thighs because they are comfortable on my legs,' said Derria Underwood, a wardrobe stylist and content creator. She likes that these affordable Universal Threads shorts can be styled several ways and can pair with everything from chunky boots to sneakers. Madewell The Curvy Perfect Vintage Mid-Length Jean Shorts All throughout high school and college, I had given up on finding a pair of denim shorts that made my thicker thighs both look and feel good. That is, until I found these Madewell shorts. Made in the same style as the Madewell Curvy jeans I already own and love, these shorts have enough length to give me coverage without cutting my legs into awkward proportions. I love sporting these when I run summer errands, though I do think they run a bit tighter in the hips than my Madewell Curvy jeans, so consider going one size up if you've got a larger bottom. Pistola Saige High-Rise Shorts Shorts with a more generous leg opening can offer a more comfortable fit for those with thicker thighs, like these Saige shorts, which Na said have a flattering A-line shape that hugs the hips and a relaxed, wide-fit at the legs. Fashion and beauty editor Sophie Shaw has a pair and likes their A-line silhouette, which can provide more shape for straight body types. Lane Bryant Eyelet Hem Boyfriend Fit Jean Short If you're in need of a plus-size option for thicker thighs, Leitz likes these comfortable, flattering and elevated-looking Lane Bryant jean shorts. 'The relaxed boyfriend fit gives your thighs breathing room, while the 5.5-inch inseam hits that sweet spot: not too short, not too long,' Leitz said. 'And the eyelet hem? A soft, feminine detail that makes these feel thoughtful, not basic.' Good American Jeanius Good '90s Shorts Style coach and founder of Style Yourself Chic Megan LaRussa Chenoweth is also a fan these denim-effect Good American shorts for those with curvier figures and thicker thighs. They feature a denim print, but follow in the footsteps of this year's "sweatpant jeans" trend and are made with a soft cotton terry. 'They provide slight compression, allow for more room through the hips and nip in at the waist nicely,' LaRussa Chenoweth said. Plus, these mid-rise shorts have a relaxed fit and a raw hem to help you nail that effortless '90s aesthetic. Hollister Low-Rise Baggy Jort For a baggy fit with a low-rise, try these Hollister jorts. Designed with a generous leg opening, these jorts come in nine different washes and are perfect for adding a laid-back attitude to any ensemble. Pistola Marissa High-Rise Utility Short When it comes to rise styles, Leitz is a fan of a high-rise short. 'It helps balance proportions and gives the legs more length, plus it just feels more secure when you're walking, sitting [and] living,' she said. Na likes these Marissa Utility shorts, which, in addition to being high-rise, are made with a relaxed fit and a cotton and spandex fabric blend for added comfort. Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love High-Rise Loose Short Abercrombie & Fitch's Curve Love line is a favorite among CNN Underscored editors and Underwood is a fan too, especially for those who struggle with finding shorts with enough room in the thighs. These loose-fit denim shorts from the Curve Love line have a generous 6.25-inch inseam, offering plenty of front and back coverage for your legs. Universal Standard Juniper Linen Easy Pull-On Shorts Universal Standard is known for its inclusive sizing that aims to dress all body sizes and shapes comfortably, and Leitz said these pull-on linen shorts are a dream for those with thicker thighs. '[They're] lightweight, breathable and cut to move with you, not against you,' she added. 'The relaxed fit and elastic waistband offer real comfort without sacrificing style, and the print gives them just enough edge to feel elevated.' Quince 100% European Linen High-Waisted Shorts If you're looking for a styling option for spring and summer, Leitz said linen blend shorts can work well, so long as they're not too stiff or sheer. These Quince linen shorts come in eight core colors, including black, navy, red and pinstripe, which offer more opaque coverage than classic white linen styles (though the brand has those as well). Gap 365 High-Rise Linen-Blend Shorts For linen shorts with a more tailored look, try this option from Gap. Available in regular, tall and petite sizes, these shorts have polished details like pleats, a hook and bar closure and front and back pockets that help the heavyweight linen-blend fabric look more upscale. Loft Curvy Palmer Shorts in Twill LaRussa Chenoweth said these Loft Palmer shorts are a favorite among her clients, across all body types. Available in regular and petite sizes, these shorts also come in a denim version if you're looking for a different option to this cotton twill style. Suk Workwear Tinnie Shorts Australian workwear brand Suk is on a mission to design durable clothes that can comfortably fit all bodies. These Tinnie shorts are designed to fit higher on the waist while still giving plenty of movement through the thighs. Made of heavy-duty cotton drill, these shorts are a feminine take on a functional workwear style. Old Navy High-Waisted Crinkle Gauze Shorts A cotton short that's breezy and not clingy, this Old Navy style has a relaxed fit through the hip and thighs with a 4-inch inseam that can better suit a curvier bottom half. Grab it in one of seven colors or prints, or if you want a fully summer-ready outfit, pair it with the matching button-down shirt. Spanx Stretch Twill Short, 5-Inch LaRussa Chenoweth said Spanx is a go-to brand for her when she's looking for shorts that fit clients of all body types beautifully, but added that it's especially good for curvier folks. The elastic waist panel in these stretch shorts smooths over the front and back of the body to better flatter the waistline. Plus, LaRussa Chenoweth said the structured but stretchy fabric tends to stay in place when moving throughout the day. Halara UltraSculpt SoCinched High-Waisted Biker Shorts 'I am a sucker for an athleisure moment,' Underwood said. 'A token pair of spandex biker shorts will give you all the flexibility you'll need if you have thicker thighs.' For everything from running errands to sweaty workouts, Underwood recommends these Halara shorts, which she said won't ride up or roll down uncomfortably. Cabana Life Skort If shorts just aren't for you, LaRussa Chenoweth said skorts are always a great summer option too. She likes this Cabana Life skort, which is made of moisture-wicking fabric, has built-in hidden shorts and offers UPF 50 protection. Vuori Villa Shorts CNN Underscored associate testing writer Gareen Puglia said that these lightweight Vuori Villa shorts have become her go-to for warm weather hiking, heading outdoors or running errands. Puglia not only likes the flattering fit of these shorts, but appreciates that the flowy design keeps her cool and the longer length keeps her thighs from chafing. The Gym People Shorts Drawstring shorts can be a great option for those with thicker thighs, since they allow you to cinch in the waist to create a more secure fit. These shorts from The Gym People have deep pockets and an elastic waist to make the high-rise design even more comfortable. Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Dynamic Fleece Sweat Shorts These fleece shorts from Old Navy are made with a dolphin hem, designed to give you a greater range of motion and create a leg-lengthening look. Though they have a relaxed fit to accommodate thicker thighs, these shorts are made to sit higher up on the legs and the elastic-drawstring waist has an extra-high rise design to offer more coverage over the stomach. The North Face Aphrodite Shorts Your shorts shouldn't stop you from getting outdoors and exploring. These North Face shorts are a favorite of mine for hiking, traveling and hitting the beach. They're easy to slip on and off, have an adjustable drawstring waistband and pockets. They're one of the only adventure-ready shorts I've found that don't ride up or squeeze my thighs as I move. Girlfriend Collective Ultralight Run Shorts Girlfriend Collective is one of our favorite sustainable brands, but it's also inclusive, offering every garment in sizes from XXS to 6XL. These Ultralight Run Shorts are cut from fabric made from 90% recycled water bottles and 10% spandex, for a soft, stretchy and secure fit. Too often, shopping for shorts becomes a game of guessing which sizes and cuts will best flatter your body. Underwood said those with thicker thighs often struggle to find shorts that fit their thighs without having to try the next size up, where the shorts might fit loose at the waist. A few of the shorts called out by the stylists we talked to are curvy fit styles, meaning they're designed to fit larger hips, thighs and bottoms without gapping at the waist. 'It just makes everything sit better on the body — more comfort, less adjusting and a fit that actually respects your shape,' Leitz said. 'Once you find the right curvy cut, it feels like someone finally designed something for you, not against you. For those with thick thighs, Underwood said to look for shorts with an inseam between 4 to 7 inches, which can typically offer good coverage without looking too long or out of proportion. Na added that shorter inseams tend to ride up and accentuate thicker thighs in ways that aren't comfortable or flattering. Shorter inseams can also lead to a greater likelihood of thigh chafing as well. Fabric also makes a big difference when you're looking for comfortable shorts. 'You want something that has a bit of stretch, but still holds its shape,' Leitz said. 'Think cotton with a touch of elastane, or soft denim with structure. That way, it moves with you without getting baggy or riding up.' For athletic shorts, Underwood likes spandex styles that allow movement but tend to hold in place at the waist and thighs. Ideally, you want shorts made of breathable fabric, but that still have enough structure to stay put and define your body shape. 'Super-thin, floppy fabrics tend to twist and cling in the wrong places,' Leitz said. 'You need materials that support your body, not fight it.' She added that if a fabric feels too 'light' in the dressing room, it's probably not going to hold up well in real life. Instead, you should look for shorts with a little bit of weight and shape in the fabric. For the best fit, the stylists recommend looking for A-line shorts or styles with wider, relaxed leg openings that can create room for the thighs while still keeping your proportions balanced. Leitz added that a straight-cut short can also work for those with thicker thighs, but only if the leg opening is large enough. The following FAQs have been answered by stylists Megan LaRussa Chenoweth, Michaela Leitz, Grace Na and Derria Underwood. How do I keep shorts from riding up my thighs? How do I keep shorts from riding up my thighs? Leitz said that the cut and fabric of your shorts make all the difference in whether or not your shorts ride up. 'If shorts are riding up, they're usually either too tight on the thigh or too narrow in the leg opening,' Leitz said. 'The fix is to look for a style that gives your thighs some room to breathe: A-line cuts, relaxed fits or tailored shorts with a bit of drape are your best bet.' Both Leitz and LaRussa Chenoweth added that you still want shorts that have some structure in the fabric. 'Super thin or stretchy shorts might feel comfy at first, but they tend to creep up fast,' Leitz said. 'A thicker fabric with a clean hem will stay in place better.' LaRussa Chenoweth recommends looking for shorts made of gauzy cotton fabrics and stretchy denim shorts, especially those in curvy fit styles Finding the right inseam length for your legs also matters. 'That little extra inch or two can make all the difference in how they move with your body instead of against it,' Leitz said. 'Don't be afraid to size up if it means a better fit on the thigh — it's about the overall look, not the number on the tag.' If your main concern with your shorts riding up is the potential for chafing, LaRussa Chenoweth recommends grabbing an anti-chafing stick like Megababe's Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafe Stick to help offer relief. How do I choose shorts to suit my body shape? How do I choose shorts to suit my body shape? Deciphering your body type can help you find cuts that better flatter your silhouette. To find your body type, LaRussa Chenoweth said you must first take your four main measurements — shoulders, bust, waist and hips — and then compare those measurements to find your proportions. 'For example, are your shoulders broader than your hips?' she said. 'If so, you are an inverted triangle and should opt for shorts that better fit someone with straighter hips, or if your shoulders and hips are roughly the same measurement and your waist is smaller, you are an hourglass. Hourglass women often do best with curvy fit shorts to avoid the dreaded waist gap.' For those with fuller thighs or hips, Leitz recommends opting for A-line shorts, longer inseams or high-waisted cuts that can help define your waist and float over your curves. If your body type is more straight than curvy, Leitz said you can play more with pleats, volume or paper bag-style waists to create more curves and dimension. Though at the end of the day, Leitz said there is no 'right' shorts style for each body type. 'The best shorts are the ones you feel good in,' Leitz said. 'If they make you stand taller, walk bolder and stop adjusting every five minutes — that's the one.' What shorts can make thighs look slimmer? What shorts can make thighs look slimmer? Identifying your body shape can help you better understand what shorts styles are most flattering for your figure. Underwood said that many people with thicker thighs have an apple- or pear-shaped body type. 'With both body types, A-line shorts or wide-leg shorts can create balance in regards to proportions and create an illusion of an hourglass figure,' Underwood said.

Grace & Company is a Black-owned small business founded by a mom looking for quick, effective, and stylish options to look and feel good with limited time. Promising review:"I am beyond satisfied with my shower cap! It's the cutest shower cap I have ever came across. Even the packaging is beautiful I don't even want to throw it away lol. It fits to my head perfectly and after using it in the shower my natural hair (which is horrible when it comes to humidity ) didn't frizz up a bit ! I definitely will be purchasing from this company again ! 10/10 hands down!" — Jennifer R. Get it from Amazon for $22.50+ (available in six colors/prints). 2. Compressive — but just-right stretchy — Girlfriend Collective leggings will become your new faves in your everyday rotation thanks to two pockets, neutral colors that go with everything, and the fact that you can tell all your pals that they're made from recycled water bottles. Amazon See what BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman has to say about how truly great these leggings are: "You can check out my full Girlfriend Collective leggings review for more deets but the tl;dr is that they will faithfully support you through any and every exercise. I love these leggings so dang much that I've purchased eight (winces) pairs during quarantine and they're all in heavy rotation. I love the compression fit; it's supportive without constricting my movement or breathing. And as someone who sweats a lot, I especially love that these leggings wick away moisture.

A compact Theragun Mini you can def make room for in your routine and gym bag. The percussive massager goes to town with tiny (reasonable!) punches on your aching muscles.

BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman loves her Theragun Mini for post-workout relief: "Exercising has been a huge boost to my mental health during quarantine, but the DOMS man — the DOMS hurt like hell!! I'm talking hurts to walk, hurts to lower myself and sit, hurts to stand up, hurts to lift things heavier than a stuffed animal, hurts to exist. I learned early on that this little gadget was suuuuuuuuper helpful in reducing my discomfort and loosening my tight, angry muscles. While jackhammering my calves and thighs is not an incredibly fun experience (TBH it hurts especially when I'm massaging already sore muscles), I know the next day I'll wake up with significantly less pain." Get it from Amazon for $179+ (available in three colors and two styles). 4. Hot N Saucy hot sauces to transform all of the recipes you've grown sick of cooking at home.

I also feel they look nicer than a bonnet." — L Get it from Amazon for $31 (available in black and white colors). 7.

I'd definitely buy another one!!" — Sherry Patterson Get it from Amazon for $24.60 (available in additional styles) 8.

Amazon Promising review: "I regularly use sleep masks to help achieve a deeper sleep. I love this mask because I can customize how much filling/weight it has. I usually take out about half of the filling and it's the perfect amount for me. I adore the light lavender scent and the silk texture. I recently misplaced my mask while on a trip away and bought a replacement mask at the airport. I didn't last two weeks with that mask and had to come back here to get another if my favorites. Thanks for a lovely product and the restorative sleep it gives." — Chantelle - Bespoke Strokes Calligraphy Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors). 10.

(OK, that would still be pretty iconic, though.) Paintable Pictures is a small biz specializing in custom paint-by-number kits. Promising review: "This was so much fun! I tried three different photos in the tool they give you and chose this one. It shows you a preview of each painting, which is really helpful when deciding which image to go with. Not every picture came out as good, so definitely try a few! Easy to use, and fun to paint — excited to frame it! I actually have some paint left over and will try to do another one!" — Jonathan Kebert Get it from Amazon for $39.99. 11. A compact travel iron and steamer with six fabric settings will take up about the same amount of space as your Revlon hairdryer brush in your luggage so you don't have to rely on the (mostly faulty) method of hanging up a shirt in the hotel bathroom while you shower. No need to even pull out an ironing board! One reviewer calls out that it's gentle of silk and linen! Promising review:"Ordered this to bring to a wedding this past weekend and it was a total hit. Perfect for getting last-minute wrinkles out of bridesmaid dresses! And will definitely be using for touchups before work instead of lugging out my massive ironing board. Great purchase!" — Carolyn Toll Get it from Amazon for $96 (available in four colors). 12. A National Park outdoor blanket to help fight against shivers while you're out enjoying the great outdoors OR on the couch rewatching the Ken Burns doc The National Parks: America's Best Idea.

This lightweight, packable blanket is extremely durable so stuff like water, sand, and more won't tarnish the blanket view 'til you can see the real deal at Yellowstone. Amazon Rumpl is a small biz inspired by sleeping bags. They use only 100% post-consumer recycled materials, and are now recycling over 5 million discarded plastic bottles through their supply chain every year. They also offset all their carbon emissions with carbon credits! Promising review:"I loved it so much I got one for my brother for Christmas. Great for hiking, camping, road trips, boat, couch — anything! It is lightweight but warm and not as restricting as a sleeping bag. Extremely easy to clean/wash/dry and doesn't bog down the washer or hamper!" — Kimberly Heitz Get it from Amazon for $103.20+ (available in nine styles). 13. A genius personal item suitcase with *removable wheels* can help you fit all sorts of Draconian personal-item and carry-on restrictions. No, I will NOT be paying extra to bring overhead-bin luggage. Take OFF luggage is a small biz. Promising review: "I refuse to pay the outrageous cost of checking a bag or carry-on. Once you take the wheels off this fits perfectly into the sizing thing for Frontier so I don't have to pay anything. Fits quite a bit of stuff in it as well. So far I've used it on a foujr-day trip to California and a three-day trip to Las Vegas. We are going on a 10-day trip to Puerto Rico soon on Frontier, and again, I don't want to pay for bags, so I made sure to book a place with a washer/dryer; otherwise, this would probably be too small for 10 days." — S. Denzel Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes). 14. And a pricey (but so worth it) Ninja Creami you've seen all over your FYP for good reason. People are OBSESSED with this compact countertop appliance with seven presets. With this, you won't have to run out for a delish smoothie or wait 'til your Italian vacation to induge in gelato every night. Yes, it was on Oprah's 2024 list a mere few months ago, but it's already an icon. Check out a TikTok of the Ninja Creami in action. Psst, reviewers with dietary restrictions and preferences love being able to customize their own treats, and many point out that this will likely *save* you money, with the cost of specialty ice creams these days! It even comes with compatible storage pints and lids so you can bulk prep. (Perhaps THE best version of meal-prepping.) Promising review: "This is my favorite gift. I use it at least five times a week. The size of the containers is perfect for when you want a sweet treat, and I love that you can control the consistency and softness of the way they come out. Fairly easy to clean as well." — Luke Johnson "I made banana sorbet and was amazed at how creamy and ice-cream-like it turned out. I was literally baffled at how it could transform just squished frozen banana into a smooth, velvety texture that tasted just like ice cream." — Amazon Customer Check out more Black-centered content by exploring how BuzzFeed is celebrating Black History Month this year!
