How to Style Micro Shorts

You’ve heard of micro mini skirts, well these are micro shorts, and believe it or not, they’re trending. The look is barely there, so the key to styling them is to pair them with more conservative pieces. Personally, I love the look. When it comes to proportions, my body is 90% legs and arms. All connected to an insanely short torso. So, if I can show off a body part, it’s going to be my mile long legs. Micro shorts do just that.

Now, if I paired my micro shorts with strappy heels and a cropped tank, the look would be giving, stripper vibes. NOT the look I like to give. By pairing the million year old printed micro shorts from Victoria’s Secret with a pair of pointed toe flats from Target and a crisp white button down from VICI, the look is breezy and appropriate for my lunch date.

Styling a look is all about balance. Take one statement piece and balance it out with more moderate pieces. Or if you’re wearing a fitted top, balance it out with a more flowy bottom. There’s also the sandwich method which is based on color. A feminine white top, paired with some dark denim will go perfect with a pair of white sandals or sneakers. Find your right formula, just make sure it has balance.

Not feeling the micro short trend? That’s okay. It’s not for everyone. If you love your legs and like to show them off, this look is for you. Just keep the look classy with more conservative pieces on top and bottom.
