" You ’re supposed to justify the citizenry , not the labia ! "

Warm weather is right around the corner, which means it’s almost time to take your spring and summer clothes out of hibernation.

Free People recently shared an Instagrampostfeaturing their new micro shorts. YES, MICRO SHORTS. As a tall girl, I have a difficult time finding shorts that are an appropriate length for me, and a lot of the time, I try on a regular pair of denim shorts, and they are unintentionally “micro” on me. So this trend has me and the rest of the internet SCREAMING!

I fell down a rabbit hole reading everyone’s reactions to these shorts in the comment section of the brand’s post. Let’s just say, I want to be friends with all these commenters! 🤣 Here are some of my favorites:

I couldn’t agree more!

I am cackling!

Not this commenter “buying” the shorts for their hamster!

Unfortunately, she’s right!

The CVS receipt comparison!

Yes, I would do the same.

I second this!

They’re not wrong!

This needs to be a slogan somewhere.

I truly wish it was a joke, too.

Free People has an entire section dedicated to micro bottoms — including micro denim shorts, micro skirts, and micro briefs on theirwebsite. The shorts seen in their Instagram post retail for around $50.
