Styling/Fit Tip:  Every figure can wear shorts.  It is about finding the appropriate length and fit for your body.  Long walking shorts work well for older women, but also for those who don't like the look of their thighs or they want to cover more skin.  Shorts will tell you the inch length so you can determine what works for you and your body.  Try on a pair or hold them up against your body to see what length works best for you.
