I was going through the sales section of the Nordstrom website, and came across these bermuda shorts (above) and thought they looked really cute and comfortable. However, I am a 5′ tall, Asian woman…so I’m pretty short. My question is, are bermuda shorts suitable for short/petite women?

Do you think they would make us appear a lot shorter? I remember people saying that capris don’t flatter petite women because it makes us look a lot shorter due to the length of the pant below the knee. However, just like dresses and skirts, I thought bermuda shorts would look okay because the hem ends above the knee. 

Any thoughts? Bermuda shorts on short/petite women: Yay or nay?
