Boxer Shorts Are The Best Way to Beat The Heat

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

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?

It’s Not Too Late to Pounce on The Leopard Pants

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Animal print in fashion can be polarizing. Typically you either love it or hate it. I personal have loved it for a long time even though I rarely wear it now. However, with the resurgence of 90s trends, leopard pants are back and I’ve decided to pounce.

Here are some leopard print pants that are worth your consideration, in case you’re thinking about trying out this trend too!

Topshop

These leopard print plisse pants are the ones that ultimately won me over. I like that they’re unique and easy to wear. I love how the Pinterest girls are wearing them with bright colored shoes, like I did here with my green Adidas Samba sneakers. I also plan to wear them with my Teva sandals for festival season.

EDIKTED

I also considered this print straight leg pair, because they are under $100 (like the Topshop pants I got) and jeans. I may still get them, but we’ll see.

Damson Madder

Can’t go wrong with cargo pants and Damson Madder has been the go-to brand for the girls. I found them at both Shopbop and Anthropologie.

Ganni

If I was only going to try this trend based on brand alone, it would be Ganni no question. They have a pair of cropped jeans and canvas drawstring trousers that are both chic ways to give the leopard pants fashion trend a go.

If these pants aren’t something that you already have in your closet, which pair do you think would make you give this trend a try? And if you do already own a pair, what pair do you have and how do you wear them?

Trend to Try: Neon

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Most of my wardrobe consists of neutral colors.

Mainly black.

It took me quite a while to give the neon trend a try, but new year, new trend. Right?

During the post-holiday sales, I ordered two neon sweaters.

While I wasn’t sure how I would like either one of them on me, I ended up liking them both. Especially with light washed jeans.

I’m not exactly going out and swapping everything I own for neon. But, I am going to try and be more open to trying more new trends.

There are some trends from the past year that I already happened to own. Animal print, the oversized blazer, and coveralls…

All of which you can expect to see plenty of on Twenty Something Plus throughout 2020.

Silk Pajama Shirt

After reading Victoria Beckham’s book and how she believed Ugg boots were something that should never be worn outside the house, I tried to make more of an effort to consciously curate my outfits before stepping foot outside.

While I will wear Uggs in public, you will not see me with my hair tied up or in sweats with holes. Not too long about if the subject matter had come up, I would have said the same about pajamas. But I decided to give the silk pajama shirt trend a try.

Sadly, I waited a little too long to jump onboard and missed out on a super cute burgundy one from J.Crew. I have my eyes peel for one in my size on Poshmark. Until then, I am practically living in this navy Madewell top.

Not going to lie, I’ve also slept in it!

And of course I have to try to play the matching game, by pairing this outfit with my Jord watch and my absolute favorite pair of jeans.

Velvet Nails

Velvet nails. Sounds interesting, right? Well, in my January Birchbox a while back, I got Nail Rock by Rock Beauty London in Velvet Burgundy.

The application was simple enough, just two coats of polish, then dip. The results? Soft and fuzzy! Very cool.

If you’re not adventurous when it comes to beauty, I’m not really sure how’d you feel about it. Otherwise, this is worth a try. The velvet effect doesn’t last that long, mine started to fade after a couple of days, but the color shows through so it’s hardly noticeable.

I really wish there was a way you could feel this via the internet right now! Think it’s something you’d consider trying? Velvet too creepy? It also comes in glitter!
