Best shorts styles for apple shapes in hot weather

Hi all,

What are apple shapers wearing for shorts these days? Im a size 16/18, all my weight on my belly. I've been living in wide legged trousers or long dresses in the heat but fancied shorts. They all seem to hug my belly though, and denim adds a lot of bulk. Any tips?

I think you need flared leg shorts, ideally with an elasticated waist. Something like these:

I live in HM linen mix shorts at this time of year. They are slightly flared with an elasticated waist and they rarely crease and wash well.

I don't find they do, they're quite roomy.
