Pairs of advertised “micro” shorts from Free People are really getting customers’ knickers in a twist.
The high-end retailer, which specializes in “bohemian” attire, announced last week on social media that “micro” shorts were in, and a staple for the summer season.
Thousands of customers have weighed in on the matter in the comments since then, joking about how the length of the shorts will not work for the average adult woman. But they might work for a hamster.
“Everybody relax with these rude, aggressive comments. I bought them for my hamster and she loves them!” one user wrote in the comments.
The post has caused quite a buzz since it was first shared, with many women bonding over mutual dislike.
All of the “micro shorts” pictured retail for more than $68, making them quite the short-term investment.
We’ve put together the most amusing comments for your viewing pleasure down below, courtesy of Free People’s comment section.
USA TODAY reached out for comment Wednesday to URBN, which owns Urban Outfitters, Free People and Anthropologie.
Social media users react to ‘micro’ shorts in comments, bonding as a result
Ashley Keene, a DIY & Design influencer asked, “What in the jundies is going on here,” echoing a similar sentiment made by women who called the denim micro shorts a “denim diaper” or “vajeans.”
Jenn Bee was one of many women who poked fun at the length of the shorts, writing “We said FREE PEOPLE not free pee hole.”
“I always wanted shorts I could leave on even during my Pap smear,” @dontkegelchronicles wrote.
“Y'all, I just got a CVS receipt 126x longer than the inseam,” Melissa Papock wrote.
“Does the Ozempic prescription come with purchase?” Amy Gregory joked.
While many women had something to say about the length and size of the micro shorts, some took to the comment section writing that “they found their people” in the comment section of the post.
“Hate the shorts but this comments section is the best I’ve seen since MySpace,” Elizabeth Coratola, a blogger wrote.
Head over to Free People's page for additional comments but be warned: you might let out a short chuckle.
