Long summer days call for, you guessed it, summer shorts. While classic denim cut-offs have long been a seasonal staple, we’ve been noticing more innovation in the category as of late. On the runways at Chloé, for example, models sauntered out in bloomers and frilly crochet, while at Paco Rabanne, striped boxer-like styles mingled with boyish separates.
The key here is a departure from youthful pairs, with thoughtful styling that reflects a more considered mood. At times preppy, at times boho, other times polished—shorts this season have a truly elevated appeal. Here are eight fresh ways we’ll be wearing them all summer, and perhaps, you now, too.
Vogue’s Favorite Summer Shorts
Featured in this article
The Mini Denim Short
A peach mini short form Chloé takes on a Birkin-like attitude with a knit henley, basket bag, and gladiators.
The Pleated Bermuda Short
Lean into the elegant appeal of pleated Bermuda shorts by pairing them with a classic belt and button up.
The Jort
Knee-length denim shorts and a linen halter make for a high-low ensemble that works day or night.
The Lace Trim
Double down on the eyelet trend with trimmed shorts and a breezy tank. Bonus points for adding Miu Miu’s lace bandana.
The Sporty Short
Part sporty, part preppy–pair a pink and white polo with Adidas’s pinstripe satin shorts. Suede loafers and a paracord bracelet add balance to keep things interesting and fashion-forward.
The Knit Short
Stripes are undoubtedly the print of the summer, and we love them here in the form of a cute knit set with flip-flops and a woven basket bag.
The Linen Bloomers
Emphasize the girlish innocence of bloomer shorts by adding a ruffled blouse and raffia Mary Janes.
The Silk Short
Aflalo’s long-line printed shorts join with a tube top and kitten heels for a cute girl’s night out ensemble.
