The Evolution of Men’s Shorts: From Boxers to High Fashion

How LOKE Bridges Comfort and Luxury

Men’s shorts have quietly gone through one of the biggest evolutions in modern menswear. What used to be simple, functional, and often overlooked has become a true fashion category — driven by comfort, cultural influence, and a new expectation for elevated everyday clothing.

At LOKE, we design shorts that sit at the intersection of this evolution: the relaxed feel of boxers, reimagined with the luxury details and silhouette of modern streetwear. But to understand where LOKE fits in, we need to look at how men’s shorts got here.
