Spoiler alert: yes, shorts are more than ever at the heart of trends in 2025. Long associated with holidays or sports, they have evolved to become key pieces in men’s wardrobes. In casual, street, or chic versions, they reinvent themselves every season. Here’s the breakdown.
1. The rise of utilitarian style
Cargo shorts are booming: side pockets, straight cut, natural tones
Inspired by workwear, they mix functionality and style
Very present in outdoor or techwear looks
2. Oversize & relaxed: the 90’s aesthetic still here
Loose cuts, low waist, or long lengths dominate streetwear
Look inspired by hip-hop, skate, or vintage US sports
They are paired with hoodies, oversized t-shirts or chunky sneakers
3. The return of the chic short
In 2025, canvas or fluid shorts also impose themselves in dressier looks
With a shirt, blazer, or loafers, they give a modern vibe
It’s the cool alternative to dress pants during warm days
4. Colors, patterns & prints
From beige to black, including khaki and grey, the palette stays natural
But camo, tie & dye, graphic prints are gaining ground
In 2025, shorts are a canvas for personal expression
5. Streetwear + comfort = winning combo
The comfort trend started during lockdowns continues to dominate
Shorts allow you to stay stylish while being free to move
Result: worn in the city, at night, at the office… everywhere
Conclusion
In 2025, shorts are not only fashionable, but also central to streetwear and lifestyle trends. They combine comfort, functionality, and urban aesthetics. Whether you’re minimalist or extravagant, there’s a short for your style.
