My favorite heatwave style hack is one of this season’s most controversial fashion trends. Borrowing from the boys has gone next level and now we’re stealing boxer shorts. While we may not be going into his dresser drawers, we are styling boxer shorts in a new cool girl way.

I personally love how airy they are and how easy they are to wear. You pull them up and go on your way. And they are more versatile than you might think. Pair them with a peplum top and loafers, with cute ankle socks. Or wear them with and oversized graphic t-shirt and sneakers. I love them for after the beach with a sweatshirt or button up shirt and flip flops.

These are boxer short options for you, if you want to give this trend a try!

Free People

The pair I keep purchasing (I have three pairs), is from Free People. They don’t have pockets, which I feel like most don’t. This pair is a little on the thin side, but they are longer and provide more coverage in that regard. They also have a matching shirt and pants, which are both on my ever-growing wish list.

Another Free People option is this pair, which is a slightly thicker fabric, and pockets. But they do seem like they are a slightly shorter short.

J.Crew

Now I know I said we’re not literally stealing his boxers, but we can buy them. This three-pack from J.Crew comes in the cutest spring gingham colors that would seamlessly fit into a preppy look with that aforementioned peplum top. And they’re currently 50% off during the J.Crew 4th of July Sale! Keep in mind that these are in men’s sizes, so you’ll need to figure out which size it best for you.

Old Navy

Another great option for men’s options that you can get away with is this pair from Old Navy. It comes in classic stripes and other much more fun prints, like pineapples, and flamingos. They have a hot deal right now, where they’re 33% off, making them only $7.99 a pair!

The three-pack version of this one is 30% off and $15.99, but the color options are more what you would expect to find in a man’s underwear drawer.

And if you’re not trying to wear actual men’s boxer shorts, Old Navy also has these linen-blend shorts which achieve the same look and they have pockets! There’s also a matching shirt and pants.

Urban Outfitters

Similar to the pair I own, this pair gives that loungewear vibe. This pair seems to be a little more fitted, but the colors are more fun.

DONNI

These are the it girl boxers. If you want a pair that is effortless and chic, this is the pair you want.

Is this trend for you? Why or why not?
