"Free People," as they describe themselves, is a specialty lifestyle brand focused on bohemian fashion and one-of-a-kind clothing, accessories, shoes, and beauty.
On March 1st of this year, "Free People" posted a post on their brand’s Instagram account that soon went pretty viral.
In the viral post, the brand announced the new collection of micro shorts. People went wild in the comments, and many great jokes about such a small piece of clothing were born.

But the clothing piece isn’t such a new thing. For example, back in 2021, “short shorts for men” were a trend that was applauded by quite a lot of people online after some celebrity men were spotted wearing them. Even further back in the day, celebrities such as Elton John and Tom Selleck used to wear something like “micro” shorts. And when you look at the photos, well, some of them are quite similar to the ones "Free People" is selling now.
Also, a probable reason why “Free People” decided to release the micro shorts line right now is because some celebrities are pushing this new trend.
For instance, big names like Sydney Sweeney, Zendaya, and Emily Ratajkowski have been seen posing or walking with very short shorts that some might even hesitate to call shorts. So, why, as a business, not jump on the bandwagon, right?

Some say that the shortest shorts are a trend born as a rebellion against Dadcore, where people wear knee-length denim shorts, the ones dads usually wear. The internet even gave them a name -- jorts.
So, let’s wait and see if the micro shorts rebellion against jorts will become a new trend among the general public, even though, so far, it’s nothing more than a very funny joke among folks on the internet.
