17 Shorts So Short They GiveBikinis a Run for Their Money

Forget nip slips! This is the summer of the booty slip!

Everyone from festival-goers to personal style bloggers to celebrities like Ashley Benson and Katy Perry are taking their shorts game to a whole new level. With flared edges, barely there inseams, and high-cut sides, these short shorts, rompers, and cutoffs make slipping a butt cheek (not to mention other adjacent anatomy) not only possible, but probable. Rihanna might be all about bare breasts these days, but it's clear that this is the summer, and, indeed, the year, of the booty.
