Seersucker summer 



Can you name a more timeless summer pattern? (I don’t think so) Seersucker has been the pattern of summer dating back decades due to its classic appeal and mid summer feel. Seersucker boxers are the perfect summer staple for any girl, they can be paired with a simple white linen button down or even a graphic t-shirt. The versatility in this short is perfect for all summer occasions, whether it be a beach day, lunch in East Hampton or running errands in the west village, this short can and will do all including looking stylish. Stripes are forecasted to be this summer's hottest pattern, so be prepared and dive into the cool girl seersucker boxer style. The classic seersucker pattern is usually light blue but that does not mean you can’t switch it up! Pink, yellow, red and navy patterned boxers have been all rage recently as well, and for the right reasons! This pop of color is ideal for spring and summer and is still classic but is a modern take.

They Might Be One Tone But They Don’t Lack Personality 


You truly are unable to wrong with a plain boxer short. Pink, beige, yellow, light blue, or navy boxer shorts can add a pop of color to a simple summer outfit. A plain colorful boxer short can add some personality to your outfit while being easy to throw on when you don’t know what to wear and have already torn your whole closet apart. With this short the world is your oyster, you can wear a patterned shirt, a basic white linen button down, a blazer, a good ole thrifted t-shirt and still manage to look like you put a bit more thought into your outfit than you would willingly like to admit. Not only do these boxers allow you to practically wear any shirt you own but the same goes with shoes! Whether it be a pair of little black flats, a New Balance tennis shoe, or a sandal, these boxer shorts are versatile enough and welcome any and all shoe styles.

Short or Long?


Like it has been previously stated boxer shorts are amazing due to their versatility in style and the wearability. Not only have they been seen in a multitude of styles, colors, and patterns but also lengths! A classic boxer short is normally pretty short and is the style that we have been seeing the most of, but boxer shorts can also come in a longer length. The longer style boxer short, is similar to the boyfriend jean style, long, loose, effortless, yet still cool girl approved. A long boxer pant can be found in any and all colors and patterns, such as the seersucker stripe. They can be paired with a white baby tee, a matching button up, a basic spaghetti strap tank top or just about anything else you could imagine all while still looking streetwear chic. Long pants, short or mid length boxer shorts are the ideal style for your summertime outfit no matter what length!
