We’ve witnessed the rise of hot pants in fashion, so it’s no surprise that bathing suits with micro-mini short bottoms are having a moment! Ultra-popular shorty-shorts are the ideal choice if you’re looking for a stylish swimsuit that provides a little extra coverage. Micro shorts also double as a sporty piece to wear with sneakers and crew socks when hitting the tennis court on a hot day, like this playful green suit from Blackbough Swim. Additionally, Alix Earle has worn this trend recently, pictured in a striped With Jean micro-short bikini for her Super Bowl Commercial with soda brand Poppi. Now throw on a cute coverup over these suits and your beach outfit is complete!
