Summer just around the corner and there’s only one clothing item I’m in the market for ahead of the warmest season. Content with my dress collection, this season it’s the light and breezy women’s boxer short trend that I’m backing for the hottest months.
Frequently composed of a soft cotton fabric, but occasionally created in supple silks and satins, I’d go as far as to say the boxer shorts trend is the most comfortable clothing item on the market right now. Featuring an elasticised waist that can we worn at hip height or styled on the waist, the cotton shorts are designed to sit loosely on the leg for a comfortable and relaxed finish. And it’s not just me who seems to be obsessed with them—fashion people in London and New York can’t get enough either.
Whilst you might worry that the new shorts trend is difficult to style, the style set have already proved its ease. From ultra comfortable daytime looks, to relaxed ensembles with an air of polish, this is how our favourite influencers are styling the boxer shorts trend right now.
