The Go-Getter
Utility’s had a chokehold on fashion for seasons now. In Resort 2025 alone, it stormed the runways at Chloé, Dior, LaPointe, Helmut Lang, and more—belted, pocketed, and prepared for anything. In shorts form, it becomes the thinking woman’s essential with its functional, intentional, and ever-ready nature.

Once a uniform for dads and tourists, bermudas have undergone a full-fledged rebrand for the cool and modest. Even Miu Miu and Dries Van Noten in their S/S25 presentations have deemed it true. Grazing the knees but never the obvious, bermudas let you cover up without ever dialing it down.
The Rebel
Cutoffs exist in their own universe, with the distressed edges and do-it-yourself nature making it the perfect antidote to overthought fashion. Their frayed hems tell stories of spontaneity and ‘too cool to conform.’ And if you’re too impatient to fit and buy a pair? Some shears can take you there.
The Flirt
Forget all preconceptions of bloomers. Thanks to the likes of Chloé, these puffy relics of Victorian modesty now moonlight as your summertime girlfriends. They keep things airy, flirty, and absolutely refuse to be boring.
The Daredevil
These are shorts that barely qualify as shorts, but that’s what makes them dangerously fun. Teetering on the edge of scandal and style, they challenge the everyday and reward the fearless. Plus, in this heat, you’d hate to have fabric clinging to your thighs.
You’ve assembled the ultimate shorts arsenal: five fresh styles built for heat. All that’s left is to own the scorch. There’s a style for every side of you.
