Cool, comfy and chic (and not just for boys!) gingham boxer shorts have been a huge trend since last summer, with tons of brands (big and small) offering their own take on the trend. Whether they're your hot weather go to or part of a pajama set and we think they're here to stay… so here are some of our favourite sewing patterns and some recommended fabrics to create your very own!
Not just for boys
First up, a very simple and standard boxer short pattern by Lindaapattern on Etsy, which goes up to a size US 30. We've paired this pattern with our Yarn dyed tencel gingham in red for a classic look, or pink for a cute look.
Tencel viscose is a soft and smooth medium weight fabric with a high yarn count a good drape. It's very skin friendly so perfect for a a pair of boxers!
thanks, it has pockets!
Play around with pockets and patchwork with these Weekend Chore Shorts by Matchy Matchy. We've chosen our yarn dyed linen gingham bubble in classic chocolate and navy for this pattern.
put a bow on it
A super cute twist on this trend are these Bow Boxer Shorts by Matchy Matchy which we've matched with our yarn dyed linen gingham in vibrant blue & purple, red & blue, and green. We love the example here of using a different colour fabric for the bow!
for the frill of it
Who doesnt love a matching set? For maximum girlie vibes try the Ruffle Brunch Set by Matchy Matchy pattern in our linen gingham in green or our cotton gingham bubble fabric in lilac for the ultimate summer colour combo.
Another popular pattern is The Willa Shorts pattern by Spaghetti Western. Ruffles add a fun feminine edge to a retro running short shape… We've chosen some muted beachy ginghams such as blue & navy yarn dyed gingham linen and yarn dyed tencel gingham in beige.
