Almost a hundred years after the first pair was designed by Jacob Galob, the founder of Everlast, boxer shorts are back. A piece of clothing that not only has evolved over time but is also destined to become the protagonist of this scorching summer. This resurgence seems to have come from Miu Miu SS22, but let’s try to outline the characteristics of this trend.

The true success of boxer shorts can be traced back to 1985 when Nick Kamen made his appearance in the famous Levi’s advertising campaign set in an American Laundromat, wearing simple white cotton boxer shorts. Today, on TikTok, there are countless styling suggestions for this garment, and the videos related to this trend have over 48 million views on the Chinese social platform. We have seen them worn by Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner, and many brands continue to offer them. This trend nostalgically brings us back to the ’90s, it is easy to replicate, and it is genderless friendly.
Genderless, indeed, is one of the keywords related to this trend. Born as a men’s garment, over time it has also entered the women’s imagination. It has been reinterpreted and transformed from the women’s wardrobe, even at the cost of resembling part of a night outfit.
