In Short: Three Trends To Try This Summer

Worn to the office or packed for beach holidays, shorts are warm-weather wardrobe staples. With 27 pairs to peruse, here’s the long and the short of this summer’s must-have styles.

Tailored

Let a pair of shorts take the place of your favourite straight and wide-leg pants this summer. Tropical wool will keep you chic in the heat, while linen and cotton are seasonal favourites. Look for finishing touches like waistband details, pleated fronts and neat hems for maximum polish.

Jorts

Love them or hate them, Y2K-inspired denim shorts are back. Lean into ’90s grunge with baggy, knee-length styles in dirty washes. There are also printed pairs and more classic iterations if you prefer.

Boxers

This trend trickled down from the Miu Miu runway (as many of the most fashionable movements do) to the streets during the European summer. You can quite literally borrow from the boys and nick a pair from the top drawer of the man in your life, or invest in more purposeful styles. A blazer and ballet flats are your office-friendly counterparts. But matching button-down shirts are another great styling choice.
