Summer is a season that’s difficult to style in general. In winter, the power of coats, scarves, and layering makes for super stylish and never-ending outfit options. In summer, it’s too hot to be doing all of that. That’s why the summer season is the perfect time to try something new and take some fashion risks! TikTok, as usual, is on top of the best fashion trends to beat the heat. With an overwhelming amount of videos, fashion creators have dubbed cute boxer shorts as the shorts for summer 2024.
I know there are some mixed feelings going around online about whether or not to be caught dead wearing a pair of boxer shorts, so here’s what I have to say to that (*clears throat*): they’re literally so cute. Case closed. Fashion brands from PacSun to French Collection are selling drones of unisex boxer shorts in a variety of colors and lengths. Daily Drills’ boxer shorts are completely sold out right now. There’s no denying boxer shorts are popping off right now. Whether it’s by wearing a tankini swimsuit top or throwing on a pair of boxers, this summer is going to give fashion. Summer, can you come any faster?
Want to give boxer shorts a try? Here are 12 of the cutest boxers I’ve found online.
