During fashion weeks, discerning between a genuine revelation and simply another oddity can prove challenging. Everything showcased on the catwalk is instantly hailed as “the next big thing,” irrespective of how peculiar it may appear. Onlookers scrutinize the shows with care and embrace even the most audacious trials as the prevailing sartorial inclinations of the moment — irrespective of their practicality in the world outside.

For Spring/Summer 2026, the humble boxer short emerges as the must-have workwear piece of the season. It was the most prevalent detail at London Fashion Week, glimpsed from beneath low-waisted pants and skirts. At Harri (the very same designer responsible for Sam Smith’s inflatable ensemble at the Brit Awards), mannequins paraded around the Barbican in easygoing, satirical everyday looks: striped boxer shorts, sandals, and latex totes in a vibrant tangerine shade. Jawara Alleyne demonstrated that boxer briefs can possess a striking yet organic charm – peeking from under low-slung trousers in contrasting hues. At Chopova Lowena, this inclination adopted a more intricate guise: multi-tiered frills and dual belts transformed undergarments into a segment of the overall design. Conner Ives opted for neon, while Simone Rocha gravitated towards shimmer and spectacle: her crimson boxer shorts appeared simultaneously provocative and refined.

The boxer-brief vogue quickly radiated beyond London. Over in New York, Calvin Klein embraced the craze with its renowned elasticated underpants, a contemporary rendition of the brand’s minimalistic ethos. In Milan, Moschino rendered the dropped-arm boxer-briefs a cornerstone of its offerings, a more audacious substitute for Prada’s “voluminous” briefs. In parallel, singer Lorde transported this style beyond the runway, appearing in boxer-briefs during her Ultrasound performances.

In the French capital, this trend received a distinct depiction. Julie Kegels displayed undergarments as an element of a laid-back aesthetic – accompanied by severed belts and an exposed midriff. Zomer echoed this notion in her interpretation: lowered double-layered boxer shorts were evocative of Cher Horowitz’s character from the motion picture “Clueless” – showcasing the same relaxed nonchalance that presently appears to be the most authentic embodiment of individual flair.

Come next spring, discard any notions of rigid suits and conventional flared trousers. The epoch of boxer shorts is impending – articles that have transcended the confines of the male wardrobe and have metamorphosed into a means of articulating individuality.
