The Best Beauty Looks from Fashion Month and How to Get Them

Jaw-dropping duds and It-girl street style trends aside, Fashion Month brought with it a long list of new and exciting makeup inspo to breathe new life into your beauty routine. The highlights? Glitter-flecked lips, lazy-girl hair and two-tone lids, just to name a few. While the looks were paired with next season’s hot new styles, you can totally start wearing them now with your fave fall outfits — and below, we’re showing you how. From New York and beyond, scroll on for nine Insta-worthy beauty looks to try now.

Bold crimson lips have reigned supreme for the last few seasons, but for Spring 2017, designers like Mary Katrantzou and Jason Wu called for something a little bolder and brighter. Playful pop-art hues ranging from neon orange to fluorescent pink dominated, ushering in a new era of loud lips. (Photo via Eamonn M. McCormack/Getty)

Get the Look: To achieve an amped-up pout, paint lips with Mac Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour ($21) in Bengal Tiger. To ensure lips are smooth, exfoliate with a sugar scrub and prep with lip balm, like Meow Meow Tweet Repair Balm ($18), allowing it to soak in before applying lip color.

VIBRANT LIDS

Step aside, smokey eye — you’ve got some competition. Things are about to get shimmery for spring if Custo Barcelona has anything to say about it. Gilded lids ruled the catwalk, with dramatic golden powder illuminating the line’s latest wares. (Photo via Rob Kim/Getty)

Get the Look: Using a blending or cream eyeshadow brush, apply Nars Eye Paint in Iskander ($25) liberally to your lids. For a bold, runway-inspired look, take the gel shadow all the way up to the brow bone and to the outer edges of the eye. Looking for something a little more subtle? Apply a light layer to lids.

GLITTER LIPS

Fendi took a playful, all-glitter-everything approach to beauty this season with bold graphic liner and lips that sparkled and shined. Soft, pink glitter was thickly applied to lips, creating a candy-like appearance that, when paired with the models’ embellished, ultra-sleek ‘dos, took on a flirty, futuristic edge. (Photo via Tristan Fewings/Getty)

Get the Look: Okay, so maybe it’s a beauty-don’t for the office, but the dance floor? That’s a whole other story. Recreate the show-stopping look by applying Ben Nye Glitter Glue ($7) to lips and then adding flecks of glitter with your fingers. Not looking for the full-on effect? Mix a sprinkling of glitter in with a sheer lipgloss and apply using a lip brush.

TWO-TONE LIDS

Taking a step away from the classic and demure looks popular in previous years, designers were big on look-at-me color and bold beauty this season, which in many cases made up for otherwise understated duds. Case in point: this pretty pastel look spotted at Jill Stuart, which embraced a two-shadows-are-better-than-one approach. (Photo via Brian Ach/Getty)

Get the Look: While you could totally achieve this look with brushes and powder, we’re partial to the precision ease of pencils. First, start by choosing two Sephora Collection Colorful Shadow & Liner Pencils ($14). Use one to draw a line along the lash line from the inner corner of the eye to the middle of the lid, then fill in until just below the brow bone. With your second color, trace along the bottom lash line, drawing the pencil diagonally upward to touch just below the tip of the eyebrow. Fill in the rest of the lid with your second color.

SLICK SIDE PARTS

While there were plenty of slick looks to be had this season, we were partial to this sweet style that made an appearance at Bottega Veneta. Slightly less severe than the wet looks we’ve seen in the past, this elegantly undone ‘do reads sophisticated, understated and, above all else, dreamy. (Photo via Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty)

Get the Look: Create a deep side part, beginning at the arch of the eyebrow, then apply a pea-sized amount of blow-dry lotion, like Kérastase L’incroyable Blowdry ($40), to locks. Use a straightener, curling iron or wand to create oh-so-subtle waves (wrap tresses loosely around your weapon of choice to create texture). Before heading out the door, adorn hair with the piece de resistance — an heirloom-inspired barrette, placed at an angle just behind the ear.

BURGUNDY SMOKEY EYE

While bodacious beehives certainly grounded Anna Sui’s beauty look in the ‘60s, it was the wine-colored smokey eye that really grabbed our attention. Bold and totally unexpected, this is one look you’ll want to add to your lineup stat. (Photo via Astrid Stawiarz/Getty)

Get the Look: Mix colors — like MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Shadow Eyeshadow and Powder Blush ($21) in shades like wine and burgundy — to create a wine-stained lid. Use a brush to line the lower lash line, bringing it just outside the outer corner of the eye, then fill in for a totally unexpected look.

COOL-GIRL MAKEUP

An effortless, carefree and youthful aesthetic was the inspiration for the beauty look at J.W. Anderson. The beauty was minimal in nature, with models walking the catwalk rocking matte skin, a flick of mascara and roughly applied lipstick. (Photo via Jeff Spicer/Getty)

Get the Look: This nonchalant look is crazy easy to achieve. All you need is a touch of concealer, like Alima Pure Cream Concealer ($28), applied where necessary, a coat or two of your go-to mascara and a quick swipe of NARS Satin Lipstick ($28) in a warm, neutral shade like Casablanca.

STATEMENT STRIPES

Not for the faint of heart, Versace Versus’s beauty look had an air of urban warrior to it, with streaks of attention-grabbing shadow stretching from the temples to the bridge of the nose. Subtle? Not so much.

Get the Look: Grab a pot of MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Cream Waterproof Cream Color ($23) in Orange and a blending or cream eyeshadow brush, and begin by painting the lid, applying the shadow all the way up to the brow bone. In a not-so-precise fashion, use the brush to extend the pigment out toward the temple and from the inner corner of the eye toward the nose. Don’t worry about even lines — it’s the haphazard application that lends the look its urban charm.

GLAM ’90S MINIMALISM

At DKNY, grunge took on an unexpectedly whimsical tone thanks to a subtle sprinkling of glitter. The result? Stunning. We’d test drive this look any day of the week. (Photo via Albert Urso/Getty)

Get the Look: While Pat McGrath’s lipstick kit is currently out of stock, you can totally recreate the look on your own. Paint your pout with a velvety layer of Pat McGrath Labs Lust 004 Lipstick ($25), add a swipe of clear gloss, then press on some MAKE UP FOR EVER Glitters ($15) for a lustrous finish.

Our Favorite Pieces From The & Other Stories Spring 2023 Collection

Oversized Blazers

Oversized Padded Shoulder Blazer ($219)

A padded shoulder gives this oversized blazer lots of bold structure. Pair with workwear like wide-leg slacks for a chic office look, or wear over a mini slip dress on a girl's night out!

Oversized Parka Jacket ($149)

This jacket is structured, giving it a blazer feel with a cute outerwear twist. Layer it over bright colors for a stylish spring look.

Winter Florals

Buttoned V-Cut Midi Dress ($129)

A fitted dress enhances a super effortless feminine look. We love this midi spring dress because it's made of thin viscose fabric, making it a lighter wear, and easy to breathe in. Time to relish in the sweet spring breeze!

Printed Silk Blouse ($139)

This blouse embraces the same intricate floral pattern and colors in light cotton. Tuck in the curved hem with a fitted denim jean, and you've got yourself a new easy spring uniform.

Denim

Flared High Waist Jeans ($119)

Denim will never die, and we love that we're always seeing new, unique takes on the classic jean. This pair boasts two statement front pockets and a higher waistline to accentuate your figure, and give you a fun shape to pair your springtime tanks and sweaters with.

Treasure Cut Jeans ($99)

The Treasure Cut jean design features super wide legs and a high waist. These are truly a year-round closet staple because you can wear them with just about anything. For a casual look, throw on some Adidas sneakers and tuck in your fave band tee. To dress this jean up, layer on a light sweater and blazer with some ballerina flats!

Coquette

Embroidered Scalloped Edge Shirt ($119)

Coquette is a newer style term that embodies a feminine, flirty persona. You'll see a lot of frills, ribbons, florals, and lace, all in lighter pinks or whites. This organic cotton shirt flaunts frills on the cuffs and florals around the collar. We could see this piece being a cute go-to throughout the whole year.

Tie-Front Ribbed Cardigan ($99)

The tie-front cardigan is definitely an "add to bag" piece. The ribbons are the perfect understated take on the coquette trend, and make us feel all the girly feels.

Mulberry Silk Layered Frilled Blouse ($199)

This gorgeous blouse is a more courageous take on the coquette trend, with large shoulder frills and billowy puff sleeves. It's the perfect wear for springtime since it's loose-fitting — the long sleeves let you adapt to the chilly days, and but the carefree silhouette will keep you comfortable on warm days too.

Slime Green

Mock Neck Sweater ($59)

Slime green is a color we can totally get behind. It's electric and eye-catching, adding a ton of visual interest and pure fun to any outfit! You can totally crush this hue when paired with leather separates, like a black leather pant or oversized jacket.

Leather Separates

Curved Leather Shoulder Bag ($199)

If you are hesitant to dive fully in to the leather trend, dipping your toes in is made easy by accessorizing with leather pieces. This shoulder bag is sleek, so it's easy to pair with just about anything, plus it's super roomy so you can take all your daily necessities with you.

Heeled Leather Penny Loafers ($129)

Loafers are the hero of preppy style, and you can wear them with any springtime look. This pair is super comfortable, so catch us sporting these everywhere this season.

Strappy Kitten Heel Leather Sandals ($129)

A strappy sandal is the ultimate match for a floral dress when spring is in full swing. These also come in a vibrant teal blue color, so if you're feeling bold, go for that colorful look!

More of Our Fave Spring Trend Items

We can never get enough of a wide leg pant. These trousers are fit for a more formal spring look, and deliver all of the comfort.

Harry Potter is one of my go-to comfort movies when I need a dose of nostalgia. I own a replica of Hermione Granger's Yule Ball earrings, and my Harry Potter Funko figurine sits in my room at all times — including during my Zoom call with Tom Felton. He's excited about Funko's newest collab with Kinder Joy, but is maybe less so about my Harry Potter house scarf, which confirms I'm a Ravenclaw instead of a Slytherin like him ("That looks blue to me," the actor, who played Draco Malfoy, jokes).

He might tease his cast mates on Instagram for the fact they're also not in Slytherin, but rest assured, it's all in good fun. "There's definitely a group chat, I'm pretty sure it's titled Potterheads," he says with a smile. "It sounds cheesy [but] we do feel like a family. So it's great to see any of them. I golf with the Weasley twins [James and Oliver Phelps] a lot. When I'm lucky enough to see Dan [Radcliffe] in his new plays, it's always great. Rupert [Grint] lives around the corner from me in London, so I see him quite frequently."

Reconnecting with the rest of the cast of Harry Potter isn't the only thing that transports Tom Felton back in time — seeing his brand new Funko does too! "Usually when someone...shows me a new version, I'm just like, 'Where did you get it?'" he says. "There's one of Draco in his Quidditch outfit, which immediately takes me back to my broomstick days. But they all have their own unique little charms."

Funko is currently collaborating with Kinder Joy, which Tom and I agree feels like the muggle version of the Hogwarts Express trolley ("You get excited about the chocolate, and then after that, you get the Easter egg surprise inside"). He also says both brands bring up plenty of memories from his 10-year stretch at Hogwarts.

And as it turns out, Tom Felton and I have very vivid memories around the same movie: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. My local children's museum hung larger-than-life posters promoting the film, and I remember feeling how much emotional weight this particular movie held, especially as we neared the end of the story. The 2009 film catapulted the series into its final two installments, and played a huge role in Draco Malfoy's arc.

"[At the time,] we weren't privy to where our characters were going so all I did really was just focus on who [Draco] was in that particular film," Tom says. "Which is why shooting Half-Blood Prince was probably the most enjoyable. To see the the reason why Draco is, well, the way he is, I thought it was very impactful and I'm amazed at the subtleties that fans pick up on now about his story. It's a very multi-layered character."

Image via Dan Kitwood/Getty Images

While Tom Felton says Draco's not a good guy, he also believes the character doesn't want to end up like his father. "I think he would rather make peace than start another fight," he tells me. "He's done enough fighting...I think it's time that he chilled out a bit."

For his own relaxation, Tom recently made a trip to the Harry Potter Studio Tour in Leavesden (where the cast filmed the series) "just to sort of pop in and see home."

"I spent like three hours...just walking around and seeing how much people enjoy it," he says. "There was a teenager with her mom taking a picture of my costume and I couldn't help but photo bomb thinking it was, you know, a nice surprise or it would be funny. But I was quickly ushered [away] by her mom saying, 'Would you mind?' So I thought that was quite funny."

Even if you haven't made the trip to London to see the Studios in person, you probably recognize them from Max's Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts special, where Tom Felton reunited with the rest of the Harry Potter cast.

"I think the 20-year reunion was the reminder of, crikey time flies," he continues. "We're all bona fide adults now, but still feel like kids, I think, at heart because as soon as you put us all in the room together, we just go back to who we were when we first met. So that's a nice feeling."

​Rapid Fire With Tom Felton

Brit + Co: You record your own music, but what are you listening to right now?

Tom Felton: It changes day to day. I mean, my staple answer is the Beatles because I never get bored of it. George Harrison being my — well, not favorite Beatle, you can't really pick one, but you know what I mean — I listen to a lot of his stuff. I love Ed Sheeran's work, huge fan of him. I recently discovered a new artist, Ren. Really think he's very skillful so I've been enjoying his music too.

Brit + Co: Harry Potter is our ultimate comfort watch, what's yours?

Tom Felton: I wanna say something that [Harry Potter director] Chris Columbus has done, like Home Alone is a very comforting film. I mean, even The Borrowers, to be fair, was pretty cool. The Simpsons was a big one.

Image via Warner Bros.

Brit + Co: Would Draco get along with any of the other characters you've played?

Tom Felton: It depends how old Draco was, but long answer short, no. I played the Boogie Man in a film called Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting and he's a bit of an evil rock star. So, maybe they would meet up once a week to play chess together.

Brit + Co: Who's your dream future co-star?

Tom Felton: I mean, I'd work with any one of my fellow wizards and witches again. I suppose off the bat I would say Jason Isaacs just because I love working with him and you learn so much [from him]. But I think also there is a secret desire for me and Daniel [Radcliffe] to be in a film together where he plays the villain and I get to be the good guy.

Blink, and you may have missed it — New York Fashion Week has already come to a close, after jam-packed days taking over the streets of New York (and our Instagram and TikTok). While the fashion set has already decamped to other festivities, like Sunday night's VMAs and Monday night's Met Gala affair, we're left salivating over all the NYFW Spring 2022 trends and inspiration for dressing next season. After a year and half hiatus, most of the major New York based brands showed up with IRL events and presentations that showed off a whole lot of optimism for next year. The colors were bright, the tailoring was relaxed, and the designs were all-around playful. Fashion seems to be saying the future will be bright — but for those of us who can't stand to wait any longer, here's how to start shopping for next season's biggest trends, now.

Electric Knits

We've all come to love our knitwear over the past year, but it's time to liven things up for spring with sweaters in bright colors and cardigans in electric hues.

H&M Rib-Knit Cardigan ($20)

Despite the bold color, this simple ribbed cardigan will be so versatile for this season and next.

Alice + Olivia Mora Twist Cropped Long Sleeve Pullover ($330)

Spring's neon-colored knitwear trend meets fall's continued obsession with boleros and shrug-like sweaters.

Who What Wear Shrunken Cardigan ($35)

​Cute Quilting

ASOS DESIGN Curve Quilted Cropped Jacket ($54)

This sage green quilted coat will transition seamlessly between fall dressing and spring ensembles.

Whether your style is more bohemian or a little preppy, this coat is a sweet addition to any wardrobe.

​Next Checks

As Seen At: Prabal Gurung, Brandon Maxwell, Christian Cowan

We can't get enough of the check trend — which is why we're already loving spring's version, which mixes in preppy ginghams and psychedelic houndstooth patterns, too.

Faithfull The Brand Falabelle Midi Dress ($229)

Just add combat boots and a leather jacket, and you can wear this dress all the way until spring, and then some.

Free People Aldrin Cardi ($198)

Truthfully, we may never take this dreamy cardigan off until next summer.

UO Olympia Scarf Pant ($69)

Let these fun pants pop underneath your outerwear this season until they stand out on their own come the next.

​Western Touches

As Seen At: Proenza Schouler, Peter Do, Bronx and Banco

The runways are riding the western trend into next season with modern interpretations of traditional motifs, like fringe, chaps, and of course, cowgirl hats.

Wyeth Cash Cowboy Hat ($88)

No fall wardrobe is complete without some cute headwear, and no spring wardrobe will be complete with a cool cowgirl hat.

Ronny Kobo Marley Pant ($338)

Ronny Kobo served up stunning looks at The Revolve Gallery that showed how to style fall 'fits with winks of western touches, like snakeskin (faux) leather.

Line & Dot Jasper Fringe Cable Knit Sweater ($112)

Pair a fringed sweater with tried-and-true blue denim jeans for the right amount of western, this season and next.

​Crochet Away

www.instagram.com

As Seen At: Anna Sui, Jonathon Simkhai, Staud

You don't need to plan a tropical vacation to rock crochet pieces anymore — wear the retro trend with your favorite fall denim until you can swap your jeans out for spring swimwear.

Anthropologie Cozy Crochet Cardigan ($300)

This splurge-worthy statement coat will add a whole lot of charm to your wardrobe for years of wear to come.

Glassons Crochet Tie Longsleeve Top ($50)

Crochet that's cute enough to be worn on a night out (with a matching skirt, no less), but dainty enough for daytime wear with denim, too.

For Love & Lemons Opens Blanca Crochet Sweater ($119)

If crafty crochet isn't for you, take notes from Jonathan Simkhai and start looking for simple, feminine crochet knits, like this sweet top.

​Metallic Madness

www.instagram.com

As Seen At: Tom Ford, Rodarte, Christian Siriano

Tom Ford knows how to end Fashion Week with a bang — this year, it was with a sequined, satin-filled, majorly-metallic moment that (literally) mirrored other collections with celebratory sentiment. If the best is yet to come next spring, the least we can do is start dressing the part!

River Island Sequin Halter Top ($50)

The runways have confirmed: You no longer need an occasion to justify wearing a sequined halter top out.

Commando Sequined Leggings ($200)

These are the kind of leggings that make you want to dance as soon as you put them on — which is the point of this trend to begin with.

City Chic Class Satin Joggers ($79)

Get ahead of the metallics trend so you can wear your new pieces through the holidays, too. Hopefully, as fashion has predicted, there will be plenty to celebrate by then!

The baby name business has gotten a bit out of hand. While we love unique names, sometimes names like Toaster or Tree just don’t have the same ring as, say, Leila or Patrick. But we totally get the desire to have a name that differs from the mainstream. After all, our names are Olivia Taylor and Jasmine Williams…which are very popular.

People are literally paying Baby Name Consultants, like TikToker Colleen, to generate a list of top names for their little bundle of joy.

This concept isn’t all that new, but the idea of paying thousands of dollars for a list of names certainly is. The Wall Street Journal reported on the rise of baby name consultants and “the art of ‘branding’ your newborn” in 2007. With the boom in baby naming books circa early 2000s and the rise in funky celeb baby names like Apple Martin and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt (and today’s celeb baby names like Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette, Pilot Inspektor and Exa Dark Sideræl), baby-naming has become a source of stress and incredible importance. So stressful, in fact, that a few thousand dollars doesn’t look so bad.

Don't worry though – we definitely won’t charge you $10k for your baby’s unique name. Instead, here are 16 baby names that are cute and unique, and might be the perfect fit for your little one.

Unique Baby Names for Girls

  • Aria — All we can think about is, "Here comes Queen Aria," whenever we see this name. Similar to Arielle's name from The Little Mermaid, Aria is synonymous with something melodic.
  • Iris — Just like the iris of your eye, this name means your daughter will more than likely have a bright and colorful personality!
  • Maia — Instead of the traditional spelling of Mya, this name has Latin roots and means "great."
  • Ayla — Your daughter will have sturdy characteristics thanks to her Hebrew name!
  • Asha — Let your little girl's name remind you that there's much to be hopeful about.
  • Naomi — Take a cue from famed model Naomi Campbell and let your daughter's name introduce her beauty to the world.

Gender-Neutral Unique Baby Names

  • Campbell — This Scottish name means "beautiful field" so we're sure it means your son's being will be full of beautiful traits and perspectives .
  • Reese — There's a reason why Reese Witherspoon has such a enthralling personality. Her name means "passion" and "enthusiasm."
  • Greer — We can hear Beyoncé's song "Protector" playing when we say this name because it means "guardian."
  • Lennon — There's a reason the world was so drawn to John Lennon's name. Lennon means "dear one" and we know that's how you'll feel about your newborn!
  • Sterling — "Twinkle, Twinkle little star" has nothing on the name Sterling. On second thought, it could serve as your baby's unofficial theme song.

Unique Baby Names For Your Son

  • Lennox — Trade the 'n' in Lennon for an X to get this Scottish name. It rolls off the tongue, making it easier for others to pronounce.
  • Adler — Your little eagle is sure to soar high under your watchful eye.
  • Rowan — Have a cute baby that was born with a head full of red hair? Name him Rowan which means "little Red one." While you're at it, check out these lucky Irish baby names for more ideas!
  • Banks — If you feel drawn to water during your pregnancy, there's a good chance there's a reason why. Banks translates to "edge of the river."
  • Rigg —Whether you choose this as your baby's first or middle name, it'll be easy for others to remember it!

We know this process can be stressful, but don’t worry. As a new parent, you have so many other things taking up space in your mind, and this shouldn’t be one of them. Whatever baby name you go with, we’re sure it will be amazing.

The ultimate micro-trend of this spring and summer seems to be… wearing men’s boxers as shorts. I know it sounds a little risqué – sporting undergarments out in the open and all – but the boxer shorts trend is delightfully approachable, easy, and super adorable. Like most other fashion trends I encounter, it first popped off with some TikTok outfit check videos. I was hooked from the first scroll.

In a summer full of record-breaking heat, light, breezy boxers are a godsend. They give you the opportunity to simply wear something that *won’t* suffocate you while you’re already feeling self-conscious about sweating. Aside from being a practical pick, the boxer shorts trend gives you that stylish, effortless, and oh-so desired ‘model off-duty’ look. It’s giving “I just rolled out of bed,” but with a more tailored twist.

How to Style Boxer Shorts

John Galt White & Blue Striped Boxer Shorts

The key to styling the boxer shorts trend is ensuring your ensemble has a healthy mix of different styles. If you opt for a casual, oversized tee atop the shorts, it’s going to look like you’re wearing pajamas – which, technically, is what they are, but the idea is to wear them like they’re not.

You want to dress your boxer shorts up a bit! All the girlies are matching their cowboy boots, mini purses, bikinis, button-downs, ballet flats, sneakers (Adidas Sambas, I see you), and blazers with boxer shorts, helping balance out their informal flair. Here are 10 pairs to abide by the boxers shorts trend with creative ways to style them!

Old Navy Soft-Washed Boxer Shorts 5-Pack

This multipack of basic boxer shorts hosts 5 different colors. Pair them with a baby tee and Birkenstocks slides (inspired by this adorable casual get-up) for a loungewear-like feel!

Comme Si La Boxer Classica

These boxer shorts from Comme Si have all the dainty details that elevate their look, like the front label and buttons! The light blue shade could be worn with a denim short sleeve shirt and cowgirl boots for a Western, coastal cowgirl-esque vibe! From there, layer on the gold jewelry and retro sunnies.

Urban Renewal Remnants Made In LA Button Front Boxer Short

It's safe to say I'm obsessed with these colors! If your boxer shorts 'fit is craving more color, opt for this pair from Urban Outfitters. They feature the classic three-button detail at the front, and a stretchy waistband that moves with you. I could see myself styling these with an oversized graphic tee and clogs!

John Galt White & Blue Striped Lace Trim Boxer Shorts

The lacy trim that lines the hem of these boxer shorts is just adorable. It adds an air of femininity to your look, no matter what shirts or shoes you wear these shorts with. Beware that this pair is a bit more low-waisted than your usual boxer shorts – any longline top will work well with them.

Goodfellow & Co Woven Boxers

This is a boxer shorts deal *too* good to pass up – you get 5 for $17! Your summer wardrobe will be full of effortless outfits, thanks to this pack. Wear them with a dainty pointelle tank top and ballet flats for a feminine flair that approaches balletcore.

Oddli Boxers

Made sustainably from deadstock fabrics, this Oddli design is any girl's boxer shorts dream. Any of the colors they come in (um, like 17!) could be dressed up with a sporty jacket over a solid tube top, and trendy sneakers or sturdy boots on the feet.

Aerie Seersucker Boxer

The material on these boxer shorts keeps everything feeling light and cool. The multicolor colorway makes them feel a little less pajama-y, and make them the ultimate candidate to pair with a gauzy white linen button-up!

J. Crew End-on-End Cotton Boxer Short

Flaunting a sportier fit, these boxer shorts from J. Crew are more than easy to wear. I can see the darker colorway of this pair going *so* well with a white tank and light pink cardigan – and if the sweater gets too warm, you could always tie the sleeves over your shoulders for a preppy take on the boxer shorts trend.

Gap Organic Cotton Striped Poplin Shorts

These higher-waisted boxer shorts are made of 100% organic cotton, keeping things light and breezy down there. The lush green color is spring and summer's perfect match, and the vertical striped pattern on these bottoms only adds to their trendiness. You could snag the matching shirt from Gap, or go crazy and pair these with a baby tee and boots!
