Who said less isn't more with micro shorts.

If you’ve spent any time scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest, chances are you’ve seen it, micro-shorts. No, it’s not just another fling; this is the style that’s taking over fashion right now, and it’s proving that shorter is undeniably better. What started as a cheeky flash of skin on the runways has quickly become one of the most talked-about trends, with fashion’s boldest influencers and celebrities embracing the barely-there shorts as a mainstay in their wardrobes.

But here’s the catch: Not all micro-shorts are created equal. With so many variations of the trend making waves, it can be a challenge to know which versions to invest in and how to make them look like you actually meant to wear them. 

For this story, I’ve scrolled through hundreds of outfit ideas, analyzed every look, and narrowed it down to the 27 micro-short outfits you need to pay attention to. These aren’t just any looks; these are the ones that make the trend work in the real world; street style-approved and runway-ready. If you’re unsure about how to style the micro-shorts trend, don’t worry as I’ve broken it down so that you can channel this bold look like a pro.

Micro shorts isn’t just about showing off your legs; it’s about redefining the power of a small piece of fabric. Our celebs and models have been quick to pick up on the micro-short craze, and it’s easy to see why, these shorts bring all the drama with none of the fuss. Kendall Jenner, Olivia Wilde, and Emma Corrin have already given us a masterclass in styling these daring pieces. From pairing micro-shorts with knee-high boots to layering them with oversized blazers, the fashion world has embraced the look in full force.

So, are you ready to make the micro-short trend your own? The good news is, you don’t need a celebrity stylist or a runway wardrobe to pull it off. Whether you’re headed to a casual brunch or a fashion-forward event, this trend offers a wealth of styling possibilities. Just pick your favorite combination, and you’re good to go. Make sure to grab 1x full-sleeves bodysuit and 1x sheer tights and you’re good to go!
