Dress for balmy weather and make boxer shorts and bikinis your haute holiday go-to.

You may already be wearing them to bed but it’s time to take them to the beach too. Shirt and shorts co-ords are already a hot trend for summer, so just pair with your favourite bikini for an easy holiday look you’ll wear on repeat.

Cotton-poplin is the fabric of choice, so buy relaxed, loose-fitting styles that feel cool and comfortable. Look to highstreet heroes COS and Arket for pretty pastels and stripes or cult brand The Frankie Shop for high octane hues. We’ll be styling ours with a bucket hat, basket bag and sandals.

Check out our perfect pairings below.

Go tonal with matching hues or juxtapose a bold bikini top with contrasting shorts.

For extra style credentials, match your boxer shorts to an oversized shirt – an easy transition from beach to bar.
