Lace-trim satin shorts are the latest lingerie trend dominating summer wardrobes, shop X of the best
Finally, I think I've found the pinnacle summer outfit, and it centres around a pair of shorts. From knee-grazing denim styles to tailored Bermudas and ruffled bloomers, there's been no shortage of shorts trends this szn, but the latest to capture the street style set in a collective chokehold is lace-trim satin shorts. Part lingerie, part nightwear, they're entirely cute!
The secret to their immediate style staple status lies in their versatility that translates to any and every occasion – dress them down for casual park hangouts or up with a coordinating silk cami and heeled flip flops for holiday dinners. Meanwhile, the combination of the elegant yet breathable fabric and loose silhouette has secured them as a summer hero item.
It's Dôen's now sold-out (*sob*) Iona Short that sparked the obsession. The cream silk-satin style trimmed with intricate white floral lace at the hems proved an easy-wearing delight, pairing equally well with a simple tank top and stacks of jewellery as a grey sweatshirt and jelly sandals.
Luckily, there are plenty of similar styles on the high street and beyond, so you can effortlessly replicate the look. Don't be afraid to embrace the pyjama-inspired vibe and check out the nightwear and lingerie sections of your fave stores – but remember, these shorts are far too cute to save for your bed! Styled with an oversized striped linen shirt and woven ballet flats, no one would know.
Don't just take our word for it, though. We've rounded up the best lace-trimmed satin shorts to shop now so you can get in on the trend and breeze through the heatwave in sweat-free style.
Trust Reformation to come through with a great lookalike for the sell-out Dôen pair in a gorgeous off-white hue and a black shade, too. Ya know, just for good measure.
Technically, these are pyjama shorts, but as long as your t-shirt falls over the elasticated waistband, we doubt anyone would know. Coming in 10 different colourways, there's a style for everyone.
These 100% cotton shorts have a satin finish and, rather than a lace trim, are decorated with pretty embroidery and laser cut-outs along the scalloped hem. Style with a black boxy blazer, white t-shirt and ballet flats for an office-appropriate 'fit.
Another pyjama short, this Tezenis style features delicate eyelash lace adorning the raised hem sides. With that price tag, we're tempted to add the black and cream pair to basket.
Kate Moss's collab with Zara is full of boho beauties we're longing to wear to a festival this summer, but top of our wishlist is easily these silk lingerie shorts. They come in black, but this butter yellow hue is not only so on trend for SS25 but is giving us major throwbacks to that one-shoulder lemon dress from Kate's Topshop collection back in the day.
Once the heatwave passes, we'll be styling these black satin lace shorts with knee-high biker boots for a punk rock twist.
For a slightly different take on the trend, these A&F shorts position the lace falling vertically down the front. We're torn between the luxe navy and this soft rose shade.
What's better than the lace-trim satin shorts trend? When it's combined with another of our fave SS25 shorts trends: boxer shorts. This Topshop style nails both looks in one. Race ya to the checkout!
If you've ever wanted to wear your pyjamas out without fear of judgement (guilty!) now you can, thanks to Boux Avenue's satin shorts. Leave the PJ top at home in favour of a grey cotton t-shirt, though.

7 major midlife diet mistakes that are 'sabotaging' your metabolism
Along with some suspect fashion trends (visible thongs and low-rise jeans), the nineties and noughties gave a lot of us questionable eating habits. In an effort to emulate the bodies of Kate Moss (skinny) and then Gisele (skinny with big boobs), lots of us adopted nutritionally inadvisable diets (cabbage soup) and embraced a world of rice cakes, calorie counting, zero-sugar sodas and low-fat everything. You may also like 15 minutes of walking a day will 'massively' help you lose weight How to restore strength and muscle in your 40s, 50s and 60s Why it really doesn't matter if you skipped your workout today – according to a PT Recently, I was on a health retreat with wellness influencers and journalists, women who have "glow with health" in their job description, and I was struck by how many of us were fighting against ingrained eating patterns, ones we have always believed are "good" and "slimming" but are actually unhealthy and can trigger weight gain. In reality In an illuminating one-to-one session with the nutritionist Rhian Stephenson, the founder of the supplement brand Artah and host of the retreat, she helped me see how many of my own habits were counterintuitive. And misery-making. She said: "Midlife women often adopt strategies that sabotage metabolism – using excessive artificial sweeteners, focusing on low-calorie, ultra-processed foods and remaining fearful of healthy fats." Here, Rhian shares seven mistakes that midlifers (OK, many of us) often make in our diets. Midlife diet mistakes 1. Skipping breakfast "If you allow yourself to get chronically hungry, this can elevate cortisol, which directly drives fat storage. Deprivation can also disrupt the signalling of ghrelin [the hunger hormone] and leptin [the satiety hormone], making it harder for you to recognise fullness and increasing cravings for high-sugar or high-fat foods. Getting ravenous can also activate a 'binge-restrict' loop, where extreme hunger post-fasting leads to loss of control around food and repeated overconsumption." 2. Crash dieting "Long-term chronic undereating can impede muscle mass, creating the opposite of the desired effect, because maintaining muscle mass is one of the most impactful things we can do to help with weight management or loss. Prolonged fasting also signals 'starvation mode' to the body, so it will reduce your metabolic rate and promote fat storage." 3. Eating fruit for breakfast "Fruit is a great source of micronutrients and fibre, but relying solely on it for breakfast can be counterproductive for weight loss in the long term. It can cause blood-sugar spikes that affect focus, energy and metabolism, creating energy crashes within hours and amplifying cravings and overeating later in the day. It also lacks protein, and over time, this habit could accelerate muscle loss." 4. Saving your calorie 'allowance' for the evening "Eating heavily late at night impairs fat metabolism and causes higher glucose spikes and lower insulin sensitivity than identical meals eaten earlier. It disrupts sleep, thanks to delayed melatonin release, which in turn elevates cortisol and the hunger hormone." 5. Believing "everything in moderation" "This statement discounts the fact that so many ultra-processed foods are designed specifically to be over-consumed, so it's impossible to be moderate. This also leads to binging and the idea that it's your will power that failed." 6. Double down on your diet when it doesn't work "We're unprepared for how much our metabolism changes over our lifetime, so we tend to overreact and try to be too restrictive or hardcore when what's worked previously doesn't anymore. This then leads to a cycle of imbalance." 7. Think alcohol doesn't count "I see a lot of women who are drinking too much alcohol in midlife – ten-plus units per week. This is counterproductive for weight management, and for every other aspect of long-term health when it comes to women."

Dakota Johnson Is Obsessed With This Cult-Favorite Brand
If you've been paying close attention to what the best-dressed celebrities have been wearing this summer, the winning outfit formulas often include an item from Dôen. From Dakota Johnson to Camila Morrone, the L.A.-based label has become a go-to for finding unapologetically feminine dresses. But the brand has so much more to offer – think luxurious button-down shirts perfect for the office or elevating weekend outfits and shoes that lean into the vintage-inspired aesthetic that the brand does so well. If you're thinking about adding some pieces to your wardrobe, let this edit of meticulously crafted essentials be your guide to the Dôen items worth investing in. Camila Morrone has an enviable collection of summer whites by the brand. While in Mallorca with bestie Hailey Bieber, she wore two different styles: a hand-knitted dress featuring a 1920s-inspired cape and a now-sold-out crochet caftan. Don't worry – you can also shop Morrone's white Dôen Sebastiane Skirt and Simona Dress, which are perfect for getaways and summer-in-the-city escapades alike.

While that exact shade isn't available, there's a soft blush version that's just as chic. Meghan Markle's timeless style is anchored with tried-and-true tops by Dôen, from wear-on-repeat sweaters to sharp striped shirts that are worthy of owning in every color. Follow Markle's lead and invest in the print that will never go out of style. Kaia Gerber relies on her velvet Dôen Mary-Janes to anchor her best casually chic outfits.

10 Jean Short Outfit Ideas to Survive the Summer in 2025
Cut-off or cuffed, Bermuda or Daisy Duke—jean shorts have remained a wardrobe staple for decades. They're just that iconic. Everyone (celebs, tweens, your mom) knows that keeping a pair (or five) in their closet allows for endless summer outfits. And whether your style is more retro-chic à la Sabrina Carpenter or edgy and nostalgic with a Charli XCX vibe, I can guarantee that there's a denim short outfit idea below that you haven't tried yet. Denim is a neutral in my book, so jean shorts are kind of a blank canvas. You can essentially wear them with anything. Pair your baggy Bermudas with a fitted tee and cowboy boots, or find some fun juxtaposition with cut-offs and an oversized top. The possibilities? Endless. As far as denim trends go, jean shorts are here to stay (and stay and stay, forever) so go ahead and try something new with your favorite pair. And if you need a little creative inspo, we've rounded up 10 can't-miss outfit formulas for spring, summer, and fall. Jorts forever, baby! A little preppy. a lot classic. There's just something about a trench coat and loafers combo that's both sophisticated and cool. This outfit formula can take you through every season (okay, maybe with the exception of winter)—huge win. Elevate your go-to graphic tees by giving them a little structure. A belted jean short paired with a slouchy T-shirt is a 10-second outfit that hits every time. And if you want to amp it up a notch, add some heels. "I just rolled out of bed" but make it chic. There's no need to sacrifice comfort when it comes to your jean short outfits. Just pick a cute sweatshirt and your trendiest pair of boots, and you're set for the day. I know this isn't groundbreaking, but there's magic in a white tee. And combined with your perfect pair of denim shorts? Chef's kiss. Make this look your own with gold jewelry or maximalist accessories. You absolutely can't go wrong. Tucked in, open over a bralette, or hanging loose and billowy, an oversized button-up looks so damn good with jean shorts of any style. Make it menswear-chic with a tie or add a silk scarf for a luxurious touch. I love a good Canadian tuxedo. The key is to play around with different silhouettes and washes—add an oversized denim jacket to short-shorts or mix and match dark denim with light denim. The easiest way to dress up denim is by adding a fancy little top. You can't go wrong with frills or a trendy tie-front blouse. Try a classic fabric like cotton or level up to silk if you're heading out on a summer date. Mixing up textures and aesthetics can lead to some seriously iconic outfits. For example, putting together a sheer top and utilitarian jacket with some long jean shorts? Hi, coolest person on the street. Whether you consider this combo dressing down a blazer or dressing up jean shorts, there's no doubt about it—it's a perfect everyday look. Add some fun sneakers and you're set. Your perfect transitional look is here. For chilly nights or pre-fall days, toss on a moto jacket and tall boots with your fave shorts. Layering is key as the weather changes, and a jacket is so easy to toss on or take off depending on the temperature.
