Zoë Kravitz Just Brought Back Running Shorts In the Chicest Possible Way

While much of womenswear has been busy romanticising the office, male celebrities—think Harry Styles, Paul Mescal, and Pedro Pascal—have long dominated the tiny gym short conversation. Their signature look is easy to conjure: 3-inch inseams, vintage T-shirts, beat-up low-top sneakers, and, more often than not, wired headphones. But leave it to Zoë Kravitz—queen of low-key serves—to reclaim the summer style throne with one skillful sartorial move. The Blink Twice director was spotted leaving New York's Bowery Hotel yesterday afternoon—a go-to hotspot for the likes of Charli xcx and Addison Rae—wearing ultra-micro high-waisted black track shorts paired with a Black History Month tee sourced from Procell Vintage (another downtown IYKYK staple). She finished the outfit with peep-toe heeled mules and an unreleased Baby Icare Hobo bag designed by Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent. The ensemble was styled by fashion powerhouse Danielle Goldberg, marking her first-ever collaboration with Kravitz. Goldberg has an exceptional knack for tapping into the innate style DNA of each client, taking small fashion seeds and sowing them into full-blown iconic moments. Her roster speaks for itself: Ayo Edebiri, Solange Knowles, Emily Ratajkowski, and Saoirse Ronan—all regular fixtures on any credible best-dressed list. The result? Peak Eighties vibes—call to mind those ridiculous gym shorts in Sixteen Candles, but with a 2025 downtown party twist. In the middle of a swampy 90-degree afternoon, Kravitz's effortlessly unexpected styling epitomises It-girl cool. Her micro shorts also beg the question: why did we ever abandon retro athleisure in the first place? They feel like the logical next step from last summer's boxers-and-loafers trend. Maybe it's time officecore stays where it belongs—at the office. After hours, we should follow Kravitz's lead and slip into something far more comfortable. Because ultimately, it's the styling that turns an outfit into a statement. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

There's A Pair Of Summer Shorts For Everyone - Here Are The 7 Styles To Shop Now

Wondering if it's a Brat, Sabrina or Jet2holiday summer this year? Well, it's actually a shorts summer. From teeny short shorts to ballooning bloomers, summer 2025 is all about getting your gams out for the 'gram and otherwise. Don't believe us? Just ask Zoe Kravitz, who won this year's best dressed ensemble yesterday by stepping out in an inspired combination of a 'Black History Month' emblazoned tee, peep-toe heels, Matrix-style shades, YSL bag and running shorts. Beloved by internet boyfriend Paul Mescal, sports shorts are just one of the many shorts trends running through our collective consciousness all night. Instagram's style set has been keen on showing as much leg as possible in the last few months, prioritising whimsical bloomers, scandalous hot pants and hybrid skorts to pair with their ballet flats and boho blouses. Having said that, one of the biggest plot twists of the season has to be the embracing of Bermuda length shorts and Jorts. Jorts - yes, those long, slouchy denim shorts historically reserved for skater boys (and girls) - are officially in, overtaking the Daisy Duke cut-offs that have dominated in past decades. And it's not just celebrities and influencers leading the charge - the SS25 runways confirmed shorts are the definitive style story of the season. Chloé's romantic take on bloomers and lace-trimmed shorts set the tone, while Erdem's intricate lace shorts offered a polished, feminine spin. Emilia Wickstead gave Bermuda shorts the suiting treatment, proving tailored summer dressing doesn't have to end at the knee. At Miu Miu, bloomers made another appearance (a natural evolution of the knickers-as-outerwear trend the brand pioneered seasons ago), while Isabel Marant and Versace doubled down on barely-there hot pants. Whether you're a thigh-skimming reader or looking for a longer plot, summer 2025 is the summer of the short story and these are the styles to shop now (and how to style them). Bare it (almost) all in a pair of teeny tiny shorts, why don't you? We'll be wearing ours with an off the shoulder top and ballet flats for an evening out or to the beach paired with a bikini and flip flops. Surprisingly wearable, jorts are perfect for casual Fridays at work, just add some kitten heels and a relaxed button down shirt. Contrast the slightly oversized bottoms with a ribbed t-shirt - some fisherman sandals will top off the look well. A historic underwear as outerwear trend if we ever did see one, bloomer shorts are fantastic layering pieces under a long smock top or too-short dress. If you love a long leg but hope for a little more modesty, skorts are the shorts style to try. Lace-trimmed shorts are in the same family as slip dresses and skirts, so follow in the Punk tradition by wearing with an oversized band tee and too-bulky shoes or beat up trainers. We'll look to Sex And The City's Carrie Bradshaw for styling advice on this one: pair with a peasant's blouse and too-high heels for maximum impact.
