The summer season is kicking off and it’s finally time to release my legs from the trousers prison I’ve had them cooped up in all year. Rather that graduating to the denim shorts I normally reach for this time of year, this summer I’m interested in a new trend that I’ve seen fashion people all around me start to weave into their best summer looks.
Wearing bright white shorts on repeat this summer, fashion people have begun to make way for the white shorts trend to become one of the biggest of the season. Less casual than their denim shorts sisters, white shorts offer the styling versatility I’ve been missing in my favourite cut-offs.
In a neutral shade, these trending shorts are naturally easy to style. Whilst I’ll always love an elegant black and white look, the white colour also pairs well with bolder summer shades including vivid red, pale blue and butter yellow.
Available in a wide range of styles from knee-skimming cuts to underwear-adjacent pairs, the white shorts trend is taking many forms this season. Whilst I can’t stop thinking about Reformation’s super casual pair, brands like COS and Mango have nailed tailored styles too.
