When I spot someone sporting this trend that's neither jeans nor shorts paired with sneakers, I can tell they're into fashion.
The trends for summer 2025 have clearly shown that people are eager for something innovative and refreshing. After a couple of years characterized by understated, "quiet" fashions, bolder, maximalist styles have been patiently waiting to make a comeback. The fashion community appears to have collectively decided that it's time to have some fun with their wardrobes again, which often involves bringing back some old trends that many had neglected for years. Model Jourdan Dunn recently showcased one of these revived styles that the fashion world has enthusiastically welcomed this summer. While at the Como Cup, an annual football tournament in Italy, Dunn was seen wearing a jersey, which suited the event perfectly, along with denim culotte shorts. As we've noted throughout the summer, the resurgence of culottes may have come as a surprise initially, but it's quickly becoming a mainstream trend. In particular, denim culottes are more prevalent this summer than short shorts, and when I see someone like Dunn pair them with sneakers, I immediately recognize them as a fashion-savvy individual. If you're looking to replace short shorts and jeans with something trendy and fresh, keep scrolling for styling ideas for denim culotte shorts and to shop some of the most stylish options available.
