Booty shorts, hot pants, Daisy Dukes, and cut-offs.
Whatever you call them, Microshorts are back—but for some, it’s their worst nightmare.
A “micro short boom” is likely upon us as more brands and A-listers hop onto the controversial trend. This is projected to be a must-have fashion piece. In order to understand why this is such a big deal, you have to understand the history behind these iconic shorts.
Microshorts popularity went mainstream during the ’70s disco due to their greater sign of liberation and women’s freedom. The comfy yet risky garment was the craze back then, and it seems like celebrities are looking for that balance as they are coming back because designers are offering a new take on the garment for the modern age.
Earlier this month, the women’s clothing brand ‘Free People’ took to Instagram to announce its new arrivals: denim micro shorts.
“We are wearing micro shorts this season,” the apparel company wrote in the caption under a carousel of images featuring different pairs of barely-there cut-offs.
This brand is one of many that have already started rolling out ads for the resurgence of the trend. What do you guys think? Do we like it?
