Look, we get it. You might not have seen this trend out in the wild yet, but trust us, it’s worth talking about, trying out, and making your own. Boxer shorts come in comfy, lightweight fabrics, making them a must-have for warmer days. Plus other details like an elastic waistband and tagless comfort make them an essential part of your trend-forward ’fit.
Another great part about wearing boxers out and about is the prints and patterns! Choose striped boxers for a classic take on this trend, or bold colors and seasonal designs for a look that’s anything but basic.
Must-Have Boxer Short Styles
Step into your comfort zone in boxers made with super-comfy fabrics like Ultra Soft, satin, and stretch cotton. AE boxers come in a few different styles so you can find the fit that’s right for you!
Classic stretch cotton boxers are a go-to fit made with a soft cotton-blend, and perfected with added stretch and a soft anti-roll waistband for total comfort. And if you’re looking for a more streamlined fit, slim boxers are there with Ultra Soft fabric and flat stitching that eliminates bulk under your jeans and jorts!

Made for late-night hanging or all-day lounging, boxers can be styled with everythingggggg! Try them with a cropped baby tee and oversized button-up for the ultimate layered look, then finish the outfit with boots (western or combat, both werk), a handbag, and sunglasses for a cool-girl vibe. Swap out the crop top for a flowy tank top or blouse to add a fun femme vibe to the boxer look!
