Why are jorts the closet staple of 2025?

In 2025 jorts aren’t just back, they’ve evolved into the closet staple. What once started as a hack: cutting off your old jeans has now become a true style statement. The jort is now oversized, expressive and wearable in different silhouettes.
It’s no coincidence that TikTok is currently flooded with fits in which jorts play the lead, often worn with cropped tops, oversized jerseys or even sharply cut tailoring to seek out the contrast. Wear your jort knee-high, but anyone who really goes for the challenge picks one just above the ankle. The bigger your jort, the bigger your statement. Combine them with Salomons, sambas or boots for the nonchalant look. Curious which sneaker trends in 2026 suit jorts best?
How do you style the bermuda short this season?

The bermuda short is well on its way to becoming the indispensable summer trouser of this season. Not a hype piece, but a solid essential that earns its place next to your favourite denim and cargos.
As the more elegant counterpart to the jort, the bermuda has long had the approval of fashion houses like Max Mara and The Row, and by now the style-conscious Instagram and TikTok scene is sold too. This short isn’t only genderless, but also very versatile: easy to dress up with a heel, or just as easily styled laid-back with a sweater and sneakers.
Think of the bermuda as the summer edition of your classic tailored trousers, often slightly fitted, but airy enough for warm days and supple enough to fit into any personal style. Whether you go for a clean and minimalist look or streetwear, the bermuda moves effortlessly with you.
Why are capris making a comeback?

You love it or you hate it: the capri trouser. It’s the most talked-about comeback of this season. You know, those tight trousers down to mid-calf that you probably last saw around the year 2000. During the fashion weeks they were already spotted en masse on the street.
To stay in the Y2K style you can wear a ballerina or stiletto with them, plus a looser top to keep your look in nice contrast. You’ll find more Y2K inspiration in the trends spotted in Paris too.
What do these trousers have in common?
What all these trousers have in common is that they seek balance: between tight and loose, sporty and chic, throwback and now. There’s room to move, to layer, and to show your own style without it looking like you’re trying to follow a trend.
So whether you’re heading to a festival, have a matcha date in the city, or are simply checking your fit in the camera before you head out the door: these are the trousers you want to wear this summer. You can shop a few of our favourites below:
