Sporty Shorts

Athletic shorts might seem like an unexpected choice for the fashion set—but we're here to tell you that the look not only works, but is undeniably cool when done right. First, there's the practicality of it all. Summers call for outfits that beat the heat, and sporty shorts were literally made to sweat in. Second, it's downright cute and fun. The key is to dress up a casual look accordingly, whether by pairing bike shorts with a sharp blazer or board shorts with a kitten heel. Even if you're leaning into the athleticism, you can choose textures like satin or leather to elevate an outfit from a gym uniform to a chic style.
