Jessica Alba Wore a Popular Shorts Trend for Summer 2025

last updated 19 June 2025

If you've been paying attention, you know I've been calling this trend for quite a while now. While attending Copenhagen Fashion Week shows back in August 2023, I noticed tons of long shorts on the runways, pointing out their prevalence in my trend report. Cut to summer 2025, and long shorts are arguably eclipsing short denim cutoffs in popularity.

Jessica Alba is the latest celebrity to test-drive the trend. Making an appearance on The View in New York City, she wore a suit by Armarium along with Jimmy Choo shoes and a Valentino bag. If micro shorts aren't quite your thing, perhaps this more modest trend will be right up your alley. There are so many options to choose from, whether you want tailored versions for the office or breezy linen shorts for vacation. Scroll down to see Jessica Alba's new outfit and shop long shorts for yourself.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
