Goodbye to classic shorts: Zara and Adidas agree on the most unexpected trend of summer 2026

With these almost summer temperatures, there is no choice but to think about those cool clothes that help us so much to deal with the heat. The shorts They are already an undisputed classic, which does not mean that they cannot be renewed and this 2026 they will do it in a big way.

It's not that the usual guys don't get along, but the girls cool have integrated into their summer wardrobe a sports garment so practical that even the most traditional ones will sign up for this trend: track shorts.

What are the track shorts and how they get along

Track shorts are those nylon sports shorts that we used to go running or to physical education at school. A super eighties garment – especially because of its extremely short lengths – that this season leaves the gym and comes to the beach bar.

The easiest way to integrate this trend without making a radical change to our style (this goes for the most shy ones) is to take them to the beach. Of course, to elevate them a little, we can add a knotted blouse and a raffia carrycot.

If you dare with something else, you can emulate this look with a play on prints: checkered polo shirt – another summer 2026 trend – and track shorts striped. And finally, only for experts in looks Moccasins with socks or sports shoes are out of the ordinary.

We raise the stakes a little more with this groundbreaking combination: in this case, the shorts They have to be a discreet color to give it vitamin touches with the rest of the look. Oversized jacket (or shirt if it's hot) in pastel pink and slingback shoes with orange heels. You will not go unnoticed.

Five track shorts ideal and fresh

Very similar to the first look that we proposed are these Sprinter shorts in red with white trim, which is perfect for us if we want to get started in this fashion without experimenting too much and without spending a fortune for 6.99 euros.

Those who go with everything can opt for these extra-short Adidas ones with a super marked retro air that is reminiscent of the basketball uniforms of the 80s-90s. The combination of navy blue and cream is so elegant that it almost makes up for its bold style for 50 euros.

This trend will be so recurring that even Zara is signing up with this short track short in bubblegum pink with white details. A little more way naive to sign up for this trend for 22.99 euros.

At Nike we find these vintage-style Jordans in blue that are as short as the Adidas ones but a little looser for those who value comfort above all else. They are available for 54.99 euros.

Finally, the most discreet, these Puma in black with white trim that goes pearl with the sneakers of the brand or with thong-type flip flops and a t-shirt oversize for 40 euros.
