Mini-Short Summer: Charli XCX, Zoe Kravitz, and Indie Brands Champion Teeny-Tiny Shorts

A trend for ultra-short shorts is being spearheaded by Charli XCX, Zoe Kravitz, Hailey Bieber, and Kristen Stewart, moving away from the popularity of bermudas and board shorts. In Los Angeles, Charli XCX showcased her album 'Music, Fashion, Film' in an all-black ensemble featuring a Paloma Wool top, black buttoned mini-shorts, a Saint Laurent Niki tote, shield sunglasses, and Studio Alessia mules. Her signature style includes R and M Leathers Tammy shorts, vibrant pink Fernanda Castro shorts, and ruffled mini bloomers by Kyriacos, complemented by Fidan Novruzova boots and crop tops, all curated by stylist Chris Horan. Zoe Kravitz opts for sporty shorts with raglan tops and graphic tees, while Hailey Bieber pairs hers with loafers, socks, and an oversized leather jacket. Kristen Stewart adds a punk twist to Chanel tweed sets with her shorts. Indie labels like Fruity Booty, founded by Hattie Tennant and creative director Jazz Mignone, offer gingham swim-shorts, and Many Many Clothes features retro seaside styles. Nii HAi, established by Rosie Williams, specializes in playful tiny bottoms, while Oddli provides cotton mini-shorts in various colors, complete with buttoned pockets and Birkin-esque tops. The mini-short phenomenon embraces a range of personal styles, from retro-gym aesthetics to bold textures.
