Not only do they feel as airy as a summer skirt, but they also offer more coverage than shorts, preventing sweaty thighs from chafing or sticking together. Bonus points: they're wind-proof.

Charli XCX's Post-Wedding Style Is Less Bridal, More Glastonbury

Following her City Hall wedding last weekend, Charli XCX is already back to work. While the singer has a bigger bash scheduled, don't expect her to exhaust bridal whites. Just days after her wedding, Charli traded her Vivienne Westwood minidress for an outfit that could have just as well belonged at Glastonbury. And, in many ways, she took some cues from last month's headlining performance look. For her Day Four set, Charli hit the stage in three multicolored Alexander McQueen skull scarves, rejiggered to make a crop top, which she paired with black leather microshorts, a pair of maroon knee-high boots, and wraparound shades. Joseph Okpako Click News and Media / BACKGRIDUSA Earlier this week, Charli followed a similar outfit formula. She eschewed the scarf top for a black one-shoulder top and draped herself in an ecru pashmina, but stayed loyal to the microshorts in a gray-brown pair with similarly miniature pockets. She also hung onto her knee-high boots, donning a pair of black motos, and wore her large black shades. A noted fan of Anthony Vaccarello, she carried a quilted black Saint Laurent bag. While her style may be leaning more Glasto, Charli XCX still has time to make bridal style bratty before her trip down the aisle.

Are We Seriously Wearing Bloomers Again? The Return of the Revolutionary, Risqué Pants

We have hit peak trouser. In the past year, designers have given us pants with waists high and low, with voluminous pleats and second-skin fits, designs that barrel and flare and taper and crop. They've offered fringe and sequins, leather and crushed satin and see-through netting. Like current events, trousers are everything, everywhere, all at once. This summer, after percolating for months on TikTok, bloomers, aka harem pants, aka genie pants, have joined the mix.

Margaret Qualley Makes the Case for Summertime Knits at ‘Happy Gilmore 2' Premiere

Margaret Qualley joined high-profile figures like Mariah Carey and Jelena Djokovic in embracing the summertime knit trend this season, while attending the 'Happy Gilmore 2' premiere on Monday in New York City. Qualley went monochrome for the occasion. The 'Kinds of Kindness' star wore a button-down black knit sweater with side pockets at the waist. The long-sleeve garment featured shimmering rhinestone buttons running down the front placket. Coordinating with her knit sweater, she added a black knit miniskirt to her look, featuring detailed crochet elements.

As for accessories, the actress wore silver rosette stud earrings. Qualley's knit attire for the 'Happy Gilmore 2' premiere adds to an ever-growing list of celebrities embracing knitwear for summer 2025. Jelena Djokovic's styled summertime knits at The Championships, Wimbledon on July 7, wearing a blue and white cable-knit vest courtesy of contemporary British fashion brand Varley. Mariah Carey also styled a knit dress while in London on June 17, wearing a Tom Ford design following her performance at Capital's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium. While the summer season often gives way to florals, lighter fabrics and linens, knits and sweaters can be a wardrobe's secret weapon at this time of year. 'A modern take on knitwear calls for a blurring of the lines,' Chloé Harrouche, creative director and founder of Loulou Studio, previously told WWD. 'To look at the pieces with fresh eyes, to elevate and not put it in boxes. A fine cashmere sweater with jeans, a chunky jumper with silk trousers — these balanced contrasts, I believe, create the strongest silhouettes.' Qualley often attends red carpet events wearing pieces by Chanel. The actress has a close relationship with the French luxury fashion house, having walked the runway for the label and attended fashion shows and events. The French luxury fashion house has crafted knitwear in the past, with designs appearing in the fall 2025 pre-collection. At the 'Happy Gilmore 2' premiere, Qualley joined cast members Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen and more.
