Life’s Too Short And So Are This Season’s Bottoms

Milan Fashion Week was full of individuality, where every designer, from Prada to Moschino, expressed their singular vision on the runway. But through it all, a unity coursed through the season with (nearly) every brand adding a bit of heat with a hot trend: hot pants. 

The trend was even spotted a few high-profile designer debuts. Peter Hawkings’ Tom Ford included hot pants made of croc, and Sabat De Sarno’s Gucci collection had hot pants that were similarly made of snakeskin in a dynamic print. One of our favorite Instagram accounts @databutmakeitfashion calculated that Gucci had a 890% increase in the amount of short and mini hemlines in their Spring ‘24 show.

Simpler but just as effective, there were teeny-tiny shorts from Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, and Ferragamo—a more practical reimagining of the trend that may have a bit more mileage.  

And because we’re as obsessed as ever, we’ll continue to reach for those ultra-mini hemlines. So, gear up for some tiny shorts—and hot pants—because we just can’t help ourselves. Life’s too short and so are this season’s bottoms.
