The Tamesis
I’m not the only one who loves the leggy look. If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram in the past 12 months, chances are you’ve noticed that just about everyone is wearing Dôen’s silky lace-trimmed mini shorts. The waiting list seems to double with every restock, with sophisticated ivory and chartreuse accents paired with soft knits and lightweight jackets bringing a romantic spin to everyday staples.
Even celebrities are embracing the look—last summer, Zoë Kravitz stepped out in silk track shorts, a graphic T-shirt tucked into her belt, and high heels. Chic!

In addition to smooth city streets, mini shorts are also an option for beach coverage. Simkhai’s seersucker bubble shoes, introduced this year, are a playful take on the trend, pairing perfectly with Eres’ tiny black bikini and Maria McManus’ striped blouse. Comme Si’s cotton boxer styles work for this, too, but you can easily elevate them with thong sandals and a beaded purse for your evening plans.
Whether you go the retro fitness crop route (Staud’s cherry red is particularly good) or opt for high-impact sequins, I’m officially announcing another mini crop summer. Here’s how I would style my favorite shoes.

Say goodbye to your trusty denim shorts for good with these powder-blue Cult Gaia mini shorts, crafted from a luxurious linen-satin blend. Pair with Almina Concept’s soft gray cardigan, Flore Flore’s butter yellow plunging tank top and textured Le Monde Béryl woven loafers for an elegant weekend look. Free People’s floppy raffia hat provides stylish coverage, while Anni Lu’s beaded necklace adds the perfect touch of style.
