We Tried the Trending Shorts Everyone is Wearing This Summer

Forget what you thought you knew about shorts. In this Summer, they’re not just a holiday afterthought or something you throw on at the beach, they’re the main character of your wardrobe. This season’s shorts are bold, elevated, and anything but basic. Whether you’re into tailored cuts or vibrant prints, there’s a style ready to match your summer mood. Let’s talk about the standout shorts turning heads right now and why you’ll want them all.

Pull-On Shorts: The Underdog Hero

Comfort meets cool. Pull-on shorts are that low-effort, high-reward piece you didn’t know you needed. Until now. Easy to wear, endlessly versatile, and ideal for those hot, sticky days when you just want to breathe. Style it: Pair with an oversized shirt and chunky sandals. Add a cap or tote bag, and you’ve nailed effortless summer energy.

Tailored Shorts: Structure in the Sun

Tailored shorts are redefining “smart casual.” Sharp pleats, clean lines, and high-waisted fits bring that sleek polish, without the full commitment of trousers. Wear them from desk to dinner with a linen blazer or cropped blouse. Add gold hoops and heeled mules, and you're ready for anything.

Leaf & Tropical Prints: Island Mood Activated

Nothing says “I’m on summer time” like bold, botanical prints. Leaf and tropical textures are bringing all the sunshine. Even if you're not going on holiday. Keep it simple on top (white tank or bandeau) and let the print do the work. For extra flair, throw on some chunky sunglasses or a raffia bag.

Crepe Belted Shorts: Lightweight with a Pop of Colour

These aren’t just polished. They’re fun. The lightweight crepe fabric and waist-defining belt give these shorts a structured, flattering fit. But what really makes them stand out? That bold colour. Think vibrant reds, statement blues, and looks that don’t try too hard but always land. Style them with a crisp white crop top or a tucked-in tee for contrast. Add trainers or flat sandals to keep the look fresh, sporty, and summer-ready.

Bold Colours & Statement Shorts: Go Loud or Go Home

This summer isn’t for the shy. Think fuchsia, orange, cobalt, or abstract prints. Statement shorts are your way to be bold without saying a word. Best paired with confidence and a neutral top. If you're feeling brave, try a head-to-toe colour block. It's giving runway energy.

Denim Shorts: Not-So-Basic Blues

Denim shorts are timeless. But this season, they’re getting a trend-forward twist. We’re talking longer lengths, raw hems, patch pockets, and a mix of light washes and vintage blues. Wear yours with a crisp white shirt and sliders for city days, or throw on a bikini top and oversized shirt for beach-to-bar styling. Bonus points for contrast stitching or distressed detailing.

Cargo Shorts: Utility, But Make It Cute

Yes, cargo shorts are officially cool again. And no, they’re not just for hiking dads. In 2025, cargo styles have had a glow-up. Think sleek fabrics, flattering cuts, and pockets that actually add something to your outfit. Try them with a cropped vest or ribbed baby tee and chunky trainers. Want to elevate them? Add a boxy blazer and some layered chains. Effortless cool.

Shorts Are Having Their Moment

They’re comfy. They’re cool. They’re powerful. Whether you’re running errands or running the show, there’s a pair of shorts that fits your vibe this summer. From street-ready pull-ons to tailored city styles and tropical prints perfect for your next escape, shorts are the power piece you’ll wear on repeat.
