I love a vacation. Packing for one? That’s another story. Every summer, I end up asking myself the same question: What can I wear that’s cool enough for 90-degree weather but still feels like an outfit? This year, fashion’s answer seems to be micro shorts. The tiny hemline has gone from runway favorite to celebrity staple, and Jennifer Lopez just made the case for wearing them the Italian way.

While enjoying a summer getaway in Italy, Lopez shared a series of Instagram photos wearing a Dolce & Gabbana floral set that felt tailor-made for a Mediterranean escape. The coordinating look featured ultra-short floral shorts paired with a cropped button-down shirt tied neatly at the waist, proving that the controversial trend doesn’t have to feel daunting.

Instead, Lopez gave it a distinctly Euro summer spin. Styled with the matching headscarf, Dolce & Gabbana Hinge cat-eye sunglasses, layers of gold Dolce & Gabbana jewelry, and barely-there nude heels, she looked as though she’d stepped straight out of a 1960s Italian holiday postcard.

As a final touch, Lopez carried the Delvaux Le Brillant Mini in the soft Angora shade, whose structured silhouette added a sophisticated contrast to the playful floral print. First introduced in 1958, the house’s signature bag is known for its sculptural shape, signature buckle, and exceptional Belgian craftsmanship.

Lopez isn’t the only celebrity embracing the return of micro shorts. After several seasons dominated by Bermuda shorts and relaxed denim silhouettes, fashion has shifted back toward abbreviated hemlines. Designers sent hot pants and bloomer-inspired shorts down the Spring/Summer runways, while celebrities have been finding fresh ways to style the once-polarizing trend beyond festival season. Micro shorts solve one of summer’s biggest dressing dilemmas on how to stay cool without defaulting to the same linen trousers or denim cutoffs on repeat.

Ahead, shop the teeny tiny shorts that will make you reconsider your trusty jorts.
