If denim shorts remain an essential part of the summer wardrobe, a new piece is shaking up our habits. Between style and absolute comfort, discover the ultra-desirable shorts that are about to conquer the streets this season.
Every summer, it’s the same story: as soon as the temperatures rise, denim shorts resurface. A summer wardrobe essential, it crosses the seasons without ever really losing its place. High waisted cut, oversized version or very 90’s mini, it remains a sure value that we bring out year after year without even thinking about it. But this summer, another piece is slowly starting to steal the spotlight. More unexpected, more comfortable too, it is gradually establishing itself in the looks of the most fashionable girls of the moment. And as is often the case, it was the celebrities who set the tone.
Fashion specialists have noticed: “effortless” looks are taking over. Say goodbye to overly structured or overly worked pieces. The trend is now towards sporty minimalism, directly inspired by the 90s and the athleisure wardrobe. An aesthetic that mixes sportswear and everyday pieces, already popularized in recent seasons with leggings, sports bras and even retro sneakers.
Not long ago, Hailey Bieber was seen in an ultra simple outfit but immediately relayed on social networks with a gray hoodie and navy blue shorts.
This piece, inspired by training shorts, has become in just a few weeks the new fashion essential of the season. Since this appearance, research has exploded on TikTok And Pinterest. Fashion influencers are already snapping up the different versions offered by brands, while ready-to-wear brands are starting to highlight them in their summer collections.
Why such success? Because it ticks all the boxes for current trends: it’s comfortable, easy to wear, adaptable with both a blazer and a simple tank top, and immediately gives that “effortlessly cool” look sought after today. Unlike denim shorts that are not very comfortable or flattering in hot weather, this new model favors movement and relaxation. Another advantage: it suits almost all body types. Worn loose with an elastic waist, it is reminiscent of vintage sports outfits while remaining very fashionable when well accessorized.
And above all, there is no question of completely dethroning denim shorts. The latter remains a summer essential. But if you want to add a more fashionable and current touch to your holiday looks this season, another option may well become your best ally.
