BOYS LIE Sunshine & Bows Lace Trim Shorts

Product Insights & Style Tips

BOYS LIE’s Sunshine & Bows Lace Trim Shorts distill that summertime haziness into a piece that feels as sweet as it is subversive. The breezy waffle-knit texture gives off that unfussy, slept-in vibe, while the delicate lace trim and dotted floral print spike it with a shot of ‘90s nostalgia—the kind that calls to mind backyard birthday parties and dreamy afternoons. These shorts move with the ease of their soft, barely-there knit, sitting somewhere between loungewear and flirt-ready statement.

A pull-on elastic waist means they slip on and off without a second thought, and the 1 1/2-inch inseam keeps the look leggy and light. The fit sits gently on the hips, with just enough spandex in the blend to hug without gripping—a quietly confident silhouette that skims and flatters. Lightweight enough to layer over swimwear or under oversized knits, these shorts are the sort you’ll reach for whether you’re running iced coffee errands or sinking onto your stoop at golden hour. They hold the essentials—lip balm, a card, summer’s secrets—in a waistband that won’t weigh you down.

BOYS LIE has a knack for taking the languages of romance and irreverence and weaving them together. With the Sunshine & Bows shorts, they channel that same off-duty It girl energy we’ve seen drifting through LA and TikTok feeds—think balletcore through a filter of downtown cool. Pair with a slouchy tee or ribbed tank, and the look lands somewhere between post-pilates sigh and after-party ease: exactly where you want to be.
