The boxer shorts trend is hitting a neighborhood park near you. You can thank the larger no-pants trend for that. It’s always fun to be early on a fashion trend before it blows up. Not that there’s a prize for winning secret contests like these, and my friends may or may not even have noticed, but last summer, all summer, I was wearing boxers all across Brooklyn. I wore them with sandals and a sports bra, I wore them under a trench coat with loafers. I felt like a teenage boy summering in an Italian coastal village. But the thing is, to be early on a trend, you don’t need to be first, you just need to be earlier than everyone you know. And babe, there’s still time.
The boxer short trend is not just about boxer shorts. It’s part of a larger trend where people are just wearing their drawers out. I talked to celeb stylists Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo for a story about Coachella, and they think festivals will be filled with girls wearing bloomers, boxers, and exposed underwear in general, whether that be exposed above the waist of your jeans or full-on out.
Celebs like Sydney Sweeney, Kristen Stewart, Katy Perry, and more have been wearing exposed underwear of some kind or another this spring. If you need a sign that boxers are in bloom, there are plenty. Here are some of my faves.
Free People OneTeaspoon Flannel Studded Boxer Shorts
These flannel shorts are great for something bright, but also something cozy and warm for cooler nights.
Alexander Wang Pajama Boxer Shorts
These silk boxers from Alexander Wang has a micro paisley print and a gorgeous waistband label. The cuffed legs are just the cherry on top.
By Anthropologie Boxer Shorts
These boxers from Anthropologie comes in standard and plus sizing. They come in the stripes as seen above, but also in a classic white and a baby Oxford blue.
Cosabella Lace Boxers
It’s obviously gorgeous as lingerie or loungewear, but these boxers would look cute as a bathing suit top or to layer under some cotton boxers with a peek at the top of the waist.
Comme SiLa Boxer Classica Trio
Comme Si is one of my favorite loungewear brands. I treated myself to two pairs last summer, and I’m still in love with them.
Free People Sunday Stroll Set
These drawstring boxer shorts are such a cute take on the trend. They’re a neutral gray, but have an really pretty cobalt piping. Plus the style of the waistline reminds me of a baseball uniform.
