1. Striped boxer shorts
No pattern captures the essence of summer quite like a stripe.
Whether you're jet setting to the Hamptons on the weekends or laying low locally, nautical-inspired prints are the foundation of any chic summer wardrobe.
This season's striped bottom, however, is not the tailored silhouette we're used to, but rather casual boxer shorts.
Not sure you can pull off your boo's undergarment on the street?
Just pair the bottoms with a button down shirt, leather jacket or even a blazer to elevate the overall vibe.
Stylight has seen a 14.5% spike in demand for striped boxer shorts.
