Each summer season brings not only a change in mood or habits, but also very tangible markers of time that shape our wardrobe. It is they that remind us daily of the season we are living in: from light fabrics that save us from the heat to bright colors that reflect the freedom and lightness of summer. And among all these seasonal codes, this year an item emerges that claims the status of the main symbol of summer 2026 – short knitted shorts, created in the crochet technique. This mini-format unexpectedly becomes the key to all summer looks: beige, bright, or printed.

This summer, fashionistas have no doubts: crochet is one of the strongest and most relevant trends of 2026. After seeing knitted fabric everywhere – from trousers and tops to dresses, bags, and even shoes – the focus shifts to a new favorite: knitted shorts. They are worn not only at the beach but also in the city – with blazers and loafers.
The trend for crochet shorts has already appeared in the spring-summer 2026 collections. And it is the designers who have proven how versatile this wardrobe item can be – not only for the beach or vacation. For example, Ralph Lauren offered a high-waisted model in black, turning the shorts into part of an evening outfit. Their ultra-short silhouette was balanced by an oversized blazer, a striped t-shirt, and massive jewelry.
Burberry
Burberry, on the other hand, opted for a monochrome set in a chocolate shade – crochet shorts and a top, complemented by a long yellow parka as an unexpected accent. The conclusion is obvious: knitted shorts work in any context – from morning to evening.
