What shorts might suit my shape?

[AmazedinSpaces]

This weekend has persuaded me, I simply have to have shorts! I'm early 40s, slim waist and narrowish hips but disproportionately large sticky out bum and don't like my thighs at all. I'm 5 foot 6 and a size 10, but used to be larger and still imagine myself overweight although I'm not. Before kids I spent the summer in a-line skirts to knee or below. Since kids I've worn linen wide leg midi culottes. I love them because I can play with the kids without showing anyone my knickers, but I just want to feel more comfortable and wear proper shorts. Any suggestions of styles that might suit me? I absolutely won't wear short shorts as my hips have quite a lot of cellulite I'm conscious off. Also hate synthetic fabrics. Thanks in advance!

Shorter version of the culottes you already have. In linen or cotton.

Some a-line denim shorts, high waist, longish length. I'm a similar shape and these really flatter me.

I wear the sports shorts that are cycle shorts with shorts over the top.

you can get them in various lengths if you don’t want short short.

it can help you feel less self conscious of the upper thigh showing.

These are incredible
I know they are expensive but honestly I feel confident in shorts for the first time in my life ( 53 and very bad thighs)

Thanks for the recommendation. They look quite short to me, but is that because the model is 5 10?

@AmazedinSpaces
I ‘m 5 ‘6 and they are a good length on me .
i am definitely not one for short shorts!
they are maybe 10 cm from my knees but so flattering
i read the reviews and was very sceptical but I love them and regretted not buying another colour last year .
I think I'm going to get the striped pair this year .
