This season has shaped up to be one of minis, and the micro shorts rank high on the style charts. Pulling away from the distressed denim cut-offs that ooze festival vibes and the raunchy hot pants of the 1970s, the micro shorts of today are decidedly more polished. They cut just under the bum, cheekily grazing the thighs, and come in all manner of print and fabric to cater to every taste. Whether you style your micro shorts with barely there steppers or thigh-high boots, you’re guaranteed to score big with this tiny number.
