    We have a soft spot for chaotic summer dressing\u2014from the juxtaposition of milkmaid dresses with silver dad sneakers, to our most well-worn denim cutoffs with the bedazzled seams. Last summer’s trend cycle was defined by unexpected gym class attire and the not-so-humble micro bloomer. It’s yet another thread in the underwear-as-outerwear trend, which first emerged in early 2023 and brought a sea of sheer, ruffled fabrics and ’90s-inspired slips to our collective wardrobes.\u00a0From maximalist ruffled variations to simple linen pairs, this period piece is making a comeback once more this summer. Ahead, discover 10 ideas for styling bloomer shorts this season, complete with our top product picks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Channel the glamour of a luxury pajama set\u2014but this time around, you’re wearing it out of the house. A muted palette keeps this look from blending together, as shades of slate and sage define the fabric’s soft, draping texture. When recreating this look from your wardrobe, we recommend selecting fabrics with similar tones.\n<\/p>\n

      More is definitely<\/em> more, and that maximalist outlook especially applies to our summer wardrobes. Pile on the sweetness factor with layers of extravagant ruffles, tiered lace, and voluminous (yet lightweight) blouses. To keep things fresh, sharply contrast all that sugar-sweet fluff with rough-around-the-edges buckled boots.\n<\/p>\n

        We’ve seen a thousand iterations of a classic white bloomer across our social feeds. Refresh the trend for 2025 with a unique pop of embroidery against the stark white fabric. Offset that crisp finish with a sweet mint handbag\u2014like a Loeffler Randall tote, adorned with a sweet rose decal.\n<\/p>\n

          We’re in it for the long haul: For a more low-key approach (that’s also office-appropriate), consider a lightweight pair of capri-length bloomers. These breezy, loungewear-inspired pants are unique enough on their own and explore the trend without treading too far into cutesy territory.\n<\/p>\n

              For those who aren’t into ruffles and lace, we’re pitching a trend-forward alternative. Pull inspiration from the boxer shorts trend of summers past, then add the fashion-forward silhouette of last year’s of-the-moment bubble skirts. This sporty-and-spicy combo, as modeled by the immaculately fashionable SZA, exemplifies the best trends of recent years.\n<\/p>\n

                  Ruffled shorts feel inherently dressy, but you can keep things unfussy with a few low-lift summer staples. An oversized lounge jacket and tall boots are key here \u2014 these pieces play up the proportion (and visual interest!) while still keeping the focus on the bloomers.\n<\/p>\n
