The Viral Shorts Trend Taking Over Instagram And IRL
It makes sense. Fashion is deep in its recycle era. Think: T-bar sandals, printed trousers, even pedal pushers (yes, really). Culottes sit perfectly in that wave of comebacks, offering the nostalgia we love with a 2025 refresh. The new wave is sleeker and more structured - fitted linen, crisp cotton, and even denim versions that feel less 'school uniform,' more 'quiet luxury'. There's something satisfyingly grown-up about them. They float in that space between shorts and a skirt, making them an easy go-to when it's too hot for trousers but you want something a little more elevated than cut-offs. And they're flattering too.
Styling is simple: keep it clean and cool. Try a pair with ballet pumps and a white tee or lean into Euro summer energy with leather slides and a ribbed tank. Add a basket bag, and you're practically on holiday, even if you're just heading to brunch or the office.
You'll spot them at garden parties, city lunches, and airport lounges alike. And if you're not wearing them already, you soon will be. Scroll down to shop the best white culottes of the season. 1.

Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.

European giants release ‘absolute worldie' third shirt but it leaves fans divided – as others compare it to tennis kit
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A EUROPEAN giant has left fans divided after releasing its new third shirt. AS Roma have produced a new alternate shirt ahead of the 2025/26 season with a unique look. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Roma have released a new third shirt which has divided fans Credit: X @adidasfootball 5 Some fans have hailed it as a 'worldie' Credit: X @adidasfootball 5 But some see it more as a 'tennis' shirt Credit: X @adidasfootball The Serie A outfit's new shirt features a white base with a green collar and gold trim. On the shirt, there is fine detailing which is said to resemble the "patterns of Italian gardens". The green is inspired by the greenery of Roman villas. The badge has also been changed from the club crest to a "ASR" trigram. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL Gotta be kitting Fans baffled at bizarre kit quirk during Lionesses semi-final with Italy Fans have had a mixed reaction to the kit on social media, with some loving it and others thinking it is more suitable for tennis. One posted: "That's one of the best kits I've seen in a long time." A second wrote: "That's an absolute worldie." A third commented: "Now is an absolute beauty." JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS While a fourth argued: "That's minging. Nothing Roma about that." A fifth said: "Am I the only one that doesn't like it? Just doesn't look like a football shirt to me. Think it's a bit tennis for my liking." Roma fans mob and serenade Ireland star Evan Ferguson at airport ahead of loan move from Brighton Another added: "Really? Looks like a 1990s tennis shirt to me." The shirt will be worn by Evan Ferguson, who has joined the Italian side on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion. The Irish striker was once valued at £100million but injuries, poor form and an underwhelming loan at West Ham last season have seen his value plummet. Should he impress at the Stadio Olympico, then the club could make the loan permanent next summer for £35m. 5 Evan Ferguson will wear the shirt next season Credit: Getty 5 He has joined Roma on loan from Brighton Credit: Getty He was mobbed and serenaded by supporters at the Rome Ciampino Airport in the nation's capital ahead of completing the move. The Adidas-made jersey will not come cheap for fans, with it retailing at £130 before any customisation. This price is for a short-sleeved match authentic edition of the shirt. Roma will wear the new kit for their friendly match against German outfit 1. FC Kaiserslautern on Saturday at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion. Last season, I Giallorossi finished fifth in the Serie A table and qualified for the Europa League. Gian Piero Gasperini was brought in as the new manager this summer to replace Premier League icon Claudio Ranieri. Ranieri has taken a position working as the manager and senior advisor to the ownership after SNUBBING the Italy job. Roma are not the only club to spark debate with their new shirt. Arsenal's home kit has come with an eye-watering price while Manchester United fans could not "spot the difference" between their new shirt and the one worn last season.
