Summer is too short to spend it overheating in jeans.
Yet every year, we hear the same thing:
"I wish I could wear shorts."
"My thighs rub."
"I don't like my legs."
"Maybe after I lose weight."
At Love Marlow, we believe every woman deserves to feel confident and comfortable in her clothes. Whether you're shopping for everyday denim shorts, vacation outfits, or casual summer style, the right pair of shorts can completely change how you feel.
As a locally owned mid and plus-size boutique in Sioux Falls, we carry fashionable mid and plus-size clothing in sizes 8–28, including comfortable shorts designed to move with your body, not work against it.
Our advice?

Why Finding the Right Shorts Matters
The right pair of shorts doesn't just complete your outfit; it changes how you experience summer.
Instead of constantly tugging, adjusting, or wishing you had worn jeans, great shorts should:
✔ Stay comfortable all day
✔ Move with your body
✔ Stretch where you need them to
✔ Offer the coverage you prefer
✔ Keep you cool during hot South Dakota summers
✔ Help you feel confident from morning to night
At Love Marlow, we believe clothing should fit your body, not the other way around.

How to Find Shorts That Actually Fit
Shopping for shorts shouldn't feel frustrating.
Here's what we recommend when choosing the perfect pair:
- Choose stretch denim that moves with you.
- Don't size down. A comfortable fit always looks better.
- Consider the rise that makes you feel most confident.
- Pick an inseam based on your comfort level, not someone else's opinion.
- Remember that every brand fits differently, so always check the fit notes and size chart.
Which Inseam Is Right for You?
One of the questions we hear most is:
"How long should my shorts be?"
The answer?
Whatever makes you feel your best.
6" Inseam Shorts
Perfect if you want:
- Everyday versatility
- A classic summer look
- A little more leg while still feeling comfortable
7" Inseam Shorts
A customer favorite for balancing comfort and coverage.
Perfect if you:
- Prefer more thigh coverage
- Stay active throughout the day
- Love an easy, relaxed fit
8" Inseam Shorts
Maximum comfort with extra coverage.
You'll love them if you:
- Want longer shorts without wearing capris
- Feel most confident with additional coverage
- Need comfortable shorts for everyday wear
There is no "right" inseam.
Only the one that makes you feel amazing.
High Rise vs. Mid Rise
High Rise Shorts
High-rise shorts sit at or above your natural waist.
Benefits include:
- Comfortable tummy coverage
- A smooth silhouette
- Great support while sitting, walking, or bending
Mid Rise Shorts
Mid-rise shorts sit slightly lower while still providing support.
They're perfect if you love:
- A relaxed fit
- Easy everyday styling
- Comfortable wear with tanks and graphic tees
Neither rise is better.
The best choice is the one you'll reach for again and again.

Confidence Is Always in Style
Here's something worth remembering:
Confidence isn't about having perfect legs.
It isn't about reaching a certain weight.
It isn't about waiting until next summer.
It's about refusing to miss out on memories because you're worried about what someone else might think.
Most people are far too busy living their own lives to judge yours.
Wear the shorts.
Go to the concert.
Take the vacation.
Play with your kids.
Enjoy the sunshine.
