Fashion has long since brought back the once-intimate garments, from satin dresses to miniskirts. But let's be honest, we didn't expect these classic pants to make such a strong comeback. Also known as loose shorts, which originated in the 19th century, they are experiencing a remarkable comeback in the summer of 2025 and fashion experts have already declared them the "must-have" of the season.
Before we get caught up in their modern versions on the catwalk, it's worth remembering their history. Pants weren't just comfortable underwear; they were a symbol of resistance. They were originally created by women who wanted to break free from corsets and tight dresses. Their only challenge? Exposed ankles. Today, this silhouette with revolutionary roots is being revived through contemporary style.
At Chloé's Spring/Summer 2025 show, designer Chemena Kamali brought this silhouette to life with a new spirit, using transparent materials and lace in light colors.
If you think this is just a trend for the warmer months, Maria Grazia Chiuri of Dior invites you to think differently. In the Fall/Winter 2025 collection, this style is also included, combined with modern bomber jackets, a perfect mix of past and present.
