I'm officially at that point in the season where my go-to summer staples are starting to feel a little tired. After weeks of relying on the same trusty pair of blue denim shorts, I'm ready for a refresh—and in search of some fresh style inspiration. So, I’ve been scrolling through new-season looks, hoping to spot a shorts trend (or two) I can fold into my rotation before summer wraps.
Naturally, my first stop was the Replica Handbags set, and sure enough, I found a few shorts styles cropping up again and again on the stars whose wardrobes I most admire. If you're also feeling stuck in a shorts rut, let this be your sign to switch it up.
Read on to discover the summer shorts trends celebrities are wearing for summer 2025.
