There's A Pair Of Summer Shorts For Everyone - Here Are The 7 Styles To Shop Now
Don't believe us? Just ask Zoe Kravitz, who won this year's best dressed ensemble yesterday by stepping out in an inspired combination of a 'Black History Month' emblazoned tee, peep-toe heels, Matrix-style shades, YSL bag and running shorts. Beloved by internet boyfriend Paul Mescal, sports shorts are just one of the many shorts trends running through our collective consciousness all night.
Instagram's style set has been keen on showing as much leg as possible in the last few months, prioritising whimsical bloomers, scandalous hot pants and hybrid skorts to pair with their ballet flats and boho blouses. Having said that, one of the biggest plot twists of the season has to be the embracing of Bermuda length shorts and Jorts. Jorts - yes, those long, slouchy denim shorts historically reserved for skater boys (and girls) - are officially in, overtaking the Daisy Duke cut-offs that have dominated in past decades.
And it's not just celebrities and influencers leading the charge - the SS25 runways confirmed shorts are the definitive style story of the season. Chloé's romantic take on bloomers and lace-trimmed shorts set the tone, while Erdem's intricate lace shorts offered a polished, feminine spin. Emilia Wickstead gave Bermuda shorts the suiting treatment, proving tailored summer dressing doesn't have to end at the knee. At Miu Miu, bloomers made another appearance (a natural evolution of the knickers-as-outerwear trend the brand pioneered seasons ago), while Isabel Marant and Versace doubled down on barely-there hot pants.
Whether you're a thigh-skimming reader or looking for a longer plot, summer 2025 is the summer of the short story and these are the styles to shop now (and how to style them).
Bare it (almost) all in a pair of teeny tiny shorts, why don't you? We'll be wearing ours with an off the shoulder top and ballet flats for an evening out or to the beach paired with a bikini and flip flops.
Surprisingly wearable, jorts are perfect for casual Fridays at work, just add some kitten heels and a relaxed button down shirt.
Contrast the slightly oversized bottoms with a ribbed t-shirt - some fisherman sandals will top off the look well.
A historic underwear as outerwear trend if we ever did see one, bloomer shorts are fantastic layering pieces under a long smock top or too-short dress.
If you love a long leg but hope for a little more modesty, skorts are the shorts style to try.
Lace-trimmed shorts are in the same family as slip dresses and skirts, so follow in the Punk tradition by wearing with an oversized band tee and too-bulky shoes or beat up trainers.
We'll look to Sex And The City's Carrie Bradshaw for styling advice on this one: pair with a peasant's blouse and too-high heels for maximum impact.

‘I Charge Them More Every Single Time:' Tech Reveals 1 Quality Guaranteed to Make Your Mechanic Hate You
A mechanic who goes by Claw Boss (@reelclawboss) on Instagram shared a customer pet peeve: Asking non-stop questions while he works. And it seems like there are more than a few other folks in the craft who share his mindset. The auto tech's short clip is set to the tune of a song that repeatedly implores a person to 'shut the [expletive] up,' as part of its hook. Pairing this tune with the text overlay in their clip, along with a group of dancing chickens, intones that the service tech isn't a fan of this particular client interaction. 'We all have that one customer. Stands in the shop while you're working on their car and won't stop asking questions,' he captions Commenters Were Divided Folks had differing opinions on the clients they render service to in their respective auto businesses. One person remarked that a patron has the right to ask questions since they're the one paying for their car to be fixed. 'Customer's car, customer's paying,' one said. However, there was another Instagram user who seemed to concur with Claw Boss's commentary on the chatty individuals who roll into his shop. They said, 'Best part of our shop: Only staff allowed in shop.' Another person, who said that they were an auto tech themselves, echoed the aforementioned sentiment. According to them, they've never been employed in an automotive service center that allowed customers to watch the work techs were doing. 'Never in my life have I seen a shop allow customers in the shop,' they penned. 'I be on the other side of the glass like *hey, did you make sure to torq that bolt!? While I smoke my dart and continue to stare. Lol all jokes aside I do enjoy watching and learning.' But this didn't appear to be par the course for all folks getting their cars fixed. One person who got their vehicle's air conditioning system repaired expressed that they were grateful to watch their mechanic fix the issue. Moreover, they said the tech was forthcoming about the work he was completing. 'My mechanic let me watch him do my AC for my truck. I asked a few questions and he didn't mind. He seemed to like that I was trying to learn,' they said. Other Mechanics Sound Off It seems like Claw Boss wasn't the only service tech who took to social media to decry this specific customer behavior. YouTuber Barricade Garage also professed he wasn't too fond of someone looking over his shoulder while he was working on a car. In a caption for his video that touches on this same topic, he writes, 'most mechanics usually want to be left unbothered when working on your vehicle.' Additionally, Redditors in this r/MechanicAdvice post also discussed this same client phenomenon. The thread's original poster wanted to know if it was considered poor manners on his part to watch the tech replace the tires on his vehicle. One person remarked that the practice is 'a touchy subject with a lot of shops,' due to how different customers react to the work being performed on their vehicle. They said that customers might try to nickel-and-dime labor time, not considering that a mechanic who has accrued decades of experiencing fixing problems is able to rectify a problem more quickly than a less experienced tech. Thus, their complaints about inaccurate labor times are invalidated. To drive this point home, they shared an anecdote about a client who went 'ballistic' for being billed for 30 minutes of labor on a muffler replacement. They said the tech swapped out the component in around five minutes and asked why they were charged for 30 minutes of labor instead. Following this, the Reddit user explained to the customer, 'The guy who just put your muffler on has almost 30 years' exhaust experience. And has it down to an art. If I'd known you wanted to wait longer I would have done it myself - I'm a diagnostic tech and really bad at exhaust. It takes me forever,' they wrote. Some Mechanics Don't Mind Watchful Customers Another commenter in the same Reddit thread said it all boils down to the type of person who is watching them perform their work. This user said, 'I don't mind people watching because they are curious.' Although, when they begin to chime in with their own repair strategies, or when they reference other handy people they know, that's when they begin to take issue with sideline commentary. 'Don't call me a liar, and don't bring it to me to fix it if you trust [someone else] so much,' they penned. In this Quora post, some auto techs argued that barring customers from entering the shop area boils down to potential safety concerns. They said that due to heavy machinery, car lifts, and an array of moving parts, clients could be at risk of bodily harm. In order to mitigate these possible incidents from occurring and any legal actions that could be levied against the shop, many service centers will bar folks from watching their cars being worked on.

In another pic, Guaynaa and Pons held hands as the little one wrapped her fingers around her dad's thumb. 'Eloísa 💕 July 26, 2025,' the caption read. The former Dancing With the Stars contestant and Guaynaa (real name: Jean Carlos Santiago Pérez) announced in March that they were expecting their first child together. Dancing With The Stars' Lele Pons Falls Over Twice During Baby's Sex Reveal Announcement 'We're PREGNANT!!!!! 🤰🏼❤️🥹 ,' the pair wrote in an Instagram post at the time, unveiling Pons' growing baby bump. 'Can't wait to meet you! We love you — Mom & Dad.' Pons went on to unveil the news to a group of Dancing With the Stars pros, including Gleb Savchenko, Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, Jenna Johnson and Rylee Arnold. In a TikTok video shared at the time, Pons FaceTimed them and was all smiles as she debuted her baby bump. 'Telling my Dancing With the Stars family I'm pregnant,' Pons captioned the post, to which Johnson commented with a heart emoji, 'Soooo happy for you mama.' The next month, Pons and Guaynaa recorded themselves finding out the sex of their baby in a since-deleted video. After having loved ones stand on stage depending on whether they thought the pair was expecting a boy or a girl, the twosome — who were placed in front of a fake 'TNT' buzzer — pressed the button as pink slime poured down from the ceiling. Witney Carson's Family Album With Husband Carson McAllister and Son Leo: Pics In the footage, Pons slipped on the slime and hit the ground twice before her friends and family helped her up. Pons and Guaynaa first crossed paths while working together on the music video 'Se Te Nota' in September 2020. The couple went Instagram official in December 2020, sharing PDA-filled photos from a skip trip. 'MINE ❤️ (it's official),' Pons captioned the post at the time. The pair tied the knot in March 2023 at the Fairchild Botanical Gardens in Miami. Paris Hilton, Camila Cabello and Diplo reportedly attended the nuptials. Pons rose to fame on Vine, before transitioning to YouTube in 2016. Pons, who has amassed more than 18 million followers on the platform, has since starred in a 2020 docuseries The Secret Life of Lele Pons, 2023's Dancing With the Stars season 32 and season nine of The Masked Singer — where she was ultimately unveiled as The Jackalope.

'Bachelorette' alum Hannah Brown marries Adam Woolard in France: ‘Mr. and Mrs. Woolard'
The couple exchanged vows at Domaine du Mont Leuze on Saturday, July 26. 7:25 Hannah Brown is officially off the market! Former "The Bachelorette" star announced she married Adam Woolard over the weekend. In a joint Instagram post on Sunday, Brown shared a stunning wedding photo with Woolard, introducing themselves as "Mr. and Mrs. Woolard 🤍." The nuptials took place on Saturday at Domaine du Mont Leuze in France, attended by 101 guests, according to People. "We wanted something really timeless and classic, and really just the celebration of our love with our friends and family," Brown told the outlet. For the special day, Brown wore a corseted ball gown with intricate leaf embroidery, paired with Jimmy Choo Staz Mesh Bow Pointed Pumps, while Woolard looked sharp in a classic black tuxedo. "I feel like it is so classic, timeless, but also feels a little unique. I love it," Brown shared. "I always knew I wanted to take up space on my wedding day because there's so many times in life, especially as women, that we feel like we need to be smaller. On my wedding day, I didn't want to feel that at all. I feel like a princess, and I feel like that's exactly how you should feel on your wedding day." Woolard also expressed his excitement, telling People he had always envisioned the moment of seeing Brown walk down the aisle. "I have always had a very clear picture of standing up at the altar and looking out at the audience and really connecting with everybody," Woolard said. "But then seeing Hannah walk down, I think is something that I've always had a very clear picture of and how I would feel in that moment. And I just, as a man, knowing that I'm going to get married, I've always had that image in my mind." The couple, who chose to live apart before their wedding, shared that they're looking forward to moving in together and "putting down roots" in Nashville. "We're really focusing on making this house a home together," Brown shared. "Spending time with our families and just having a little bit of a slower pace for just a little bit." Brown first gained recognition on season 23 of "The Bachelor" in 2018, finishing in the top seven, before becoming the lead on season 15 of "The Bachelorette." Brown met Woolard on a dating app, and they announced their engagement in August 2023, sharing a sweet carousel of photos on Instagram, including one where they touched foreheads as Brown showed off her engagement ring. "so happy," she wrote in the caption at the time. "i love our steady love. ❤️." In addition to "The Bachelorette," Brown also competed on season 28 of " Dancing with the Stars," winning the competition with professional dancer Alan Bersten.
