The "Boring" Summer Basic Every Fashion Person Owns
White shorts always shape up to be the sleeper hit of the summer. Minimal, easy, and endlessly wearable, they’re the kind of staple that doesn’t need to shout to be relevant. Every fashion person seems to own a pair, but the way they’re being styled this summer feels especially fresh—less resort cliché, more cool-girl uniform. Whether tailored or slouchy, they’re the base for some of the season’s best looks.
For summer 2025, it’s all about contrast. Crisp, structured white shorts paired with oversize poplin shirts and sleek sandals feel modern and pulled together without trying too hard. On the other end of the spectrum, longer, looser silhouettes styled with fitted tanks or sporty pieces like retro sneakers and oversize crewnecks give off an effortless edge. It’s a subtle shift, but it makes all the difference.
Texture also plays a role. Think clean denim, soft linen, or elevated twill—each bringing a slightly different energy. Linen pairs feel breezy and low-maintenance, especially when worn with simple tanks or ribbed knits. White denim cutoffs, on the other hand, still hold their place, but the styling this year is more pared-back: minimal accessories, neutral layers, and sharp shapes.
At the end of the day, white shorts aren’t a trend—they’re a foundation. And right now, they’re the piece every stylish person is building their summer wardrobe around. If you haven’t figured out how to wear yours yet, now’s the time to start.
