The popularity of short pants has appeared in various forms over several periods, with their history tracing back to the early 20th century. Short pants became a mainstream fashion item starting in the 1950s. As leisure and outdoor activities among women increased during this time, there was a need for more comfortable and practical attire, leading to the rise in popularity of short pants.

In the 1960s and 1970s, with an emphasis on liberation and a free lifestyle, short pants became shorter and were made in various styles and materials. Music festivals and beach culture played a significant role in popularizing casual attire, including short pants, during this time.

There are various ways to style micro mini pants, as shown by Sunmi, who pairs them with casual knits or crop tops for a daily look or with blazers or oversized sweaters for a refined and classic look. They also pair well with a variety of footwear, from feminine flats and Mary Janes to casual sneakers and boots.

However, like all fashion trends, styling micro mini pants should consider personal taste and comfort. Fashion is a form of self-expression, so it's most important to find a style that you love and feel comfortable in, rather than blindly following trends.
