Short Trends 2024: 5 Styles That Are Heating Up This Summer

I have to admit, before this year, I’ve never put a lot of energy or focus into shorts. I have a couple of pairs in my wardrobe which I pull out for holidays and the warmest days of summer at home, but have I ever really thought about the shorts I’m investing in? That’d be a no. That is, aside from some roomy Adidas gym shorts my mum dug out of a bargain bin and bought for me to wear to P.E. when I was 10 (which I still own and wear and would probably the first clothing item I’d grab in a fire).

In addition to this beloved pair, I have a pairs in white and beige linen and some denim cut-offs. Pretty standard, right? However, between the hot spell last weekend and with an upcoming trip planned for next month, you might say I’m becoming acutely aware at just how many shorts outfits I’m seeing on social media right now. What’s more surprising is that all of the styles feel new and fresh and, dare I say it, are making me want to buy into them.
