In the family of micro shorts, designers are having fun competing to see who can create the shortest. Some shorts even look almost like underwear that you just slip on.
Well, on the runway of a Fashion Week, it works of course, but in real life? The trend is difficult to adopt, but not impossible.
I’m sharing with you some ideas on how to wear micro shorts and other alternatives to follow this trend that we’ve seen everywhere in recent weeks. After all, Hailey Bieber can pull it off, so why can’t we?
Yes! We embrace and follow the micro short trend
Of course, you’re going to embrace it! Trends are meant for taking risks and trying out new looks.
Before diving into the first micro short, pay particular attention to your body shape, the cut, the materials, and of course the context in which you’re going to wear the micro short.
How to wear micro shorts in the city?
Personally, I would not dare to wear them to work. However, you can’t deny that for an afternoon in the city, and even more so in the evening, rocking the same look as Bella Hadid or Hailey Bieber is tempting, right?
Here are the ultimate elements to consider for confidently wearing micro shorts:
- High waist
It’s much easier to wear micro shorts when they are high-waisted and don’t reveal more skin than necessary.
The advantage of high waist? It immediately gives a chic and modern touch that balances and softens the look.
- A single…or muted color
I think we can agree that a micro short has enough personality to avoid adding any extravagance. During the day, opt for a muted color like black, gray, the trendy color of the moment, or a beautiful shade in pale tones. White is more difficult to wear, as it tends to attract attention. If you love color, I recommend sticking to solid colors to highlight the piece.
- Mixing styles with a men’s shirt
Looking vulgar is the last thing you want when wearing micro shorts. To feel comfortable in your movements and to soften the overly provocative side of this (very small) garment, aim to tone down the overall look by opting for a loose men’s shirt that adds a workwear touch.

Uh no…we’re not going out in nearly underwear
Sometimes there are trends that you don’t even want to try. That’s normal, and it’s okay. There’s no need to force yourself to wear micro shorts if it’s going to make you uncomfortable all day.
If the trend (which we see everywhere, we must say) really doesn’t suit you, don’t force it, as there are always other equally good alternatives.
Good news, there are other alternatives
Trends are great, but reinterpreting them according to your desires is even better. If the minishort trend is really not your cup of tea, here are some alternatives that might suit you.
- The Bermuda short
The famous cycling shorts that served us well before the arrival of this super micro trend are being revamped in mini form.
- The mini skirt-short
An excellent alternative to micro shorts, it is more reassuring because it combines a skirt + shorts. Even if the garment remains very short, you tend to feel more comfortable.
- The short and flared short
We agree that it remains short, but its flared shape makes it much easier to wear.
- The sports micro short
Yes, it is mini, but its sporty-chic look and its sleek, modern design ensure that it can be worn everywhere, even when very short. Perfect for going to the gym or for a jog during your lunch break.
