From Y2K ultra-short to leather lovelies and more, we’re having fun with 2023’s short trends.

Who wears short shorts? But that’s not to say you don’t have choices if you’re not part of the under 4″ inseam crowd. This summer is providing us a range of options for every occasion, empowering women to embrace their personal style while staying fashion-forward.

To that end, our editors are bringing to you three of the biggest trends for shorts this summer.

THE SHORT OF IT ALL

Let’s start off with the dominate short trend that comes straight out of Y2K – the short shorts. Because fashion is indeed cyclical, the warmer the weather, the more we’re showing. So ladies, if you’ve got it, flaunt it! Here are five fabulous options courtesy of our editors.

Shall we start with a classic? These divine denims are soooo Beyoncé circa OTR II 2018…

LOOKING FOR A LONGER LOVE

On the flip of this season, if above-mid-thigh leaves you feeling meh, you’ll be very happy to know that plenty of celebs from Bella to Zendaya are actively sporting the Bermuda look. This longer style is much more approachable in a variety of fabrics, from classic denims to of-the-moment cargo to office friendly crepe and summer wool. Here are five options you’re sure to love.

First came the cargo pants, then the cargo jeans, and now…well it stands to reason that as temps rise we’d take our season favorite and cut it off at the knees. Keep ’em casual with a tee or a tank, or zhuzh them up with a half-tucked button down and some mary janes.

These twill, crisp white shorts are the summer staple piece you’ve been missing.

And of course, we couldn’t leave the iconic utility version out of our list. These are so music fest worthy right now.

Aeropostale, Belted Bermuda Cargo Shorts $54.50

SUMMER OF LEATHER

Our love affair with leather shorts continues again into this season. And why not? They simply ooze urban sophisticated chic, and create instant edge, even when paired with casual pieces.

Case in point – with a high waist, pockets and plenty of leg-showing real estate, these will be your new club dance floor favorites…
