Athletic Shorts Are the "Ugly" Summer Staple I Didn't Know I Needed

Bye-bye, bike shorts. There's a newer shorts trend I'm after right now and it's basically taken the place of my beloved bike shorts this season I'll just warn you now: this one might seem random. I can't exactly pinpoint why but suddenly I'm obsessed with nylon athletic shorts and they're all I want to wear (and shop for) while we're still in the thick of summer.

Last year, I wore my sweat shorts to death while lounging and working from home but fast-forward a year and I'm still in the market for a comfy and lounge-ready pair, but this time I'm swapping sweats out for a style that also happens to be versatile enough for everything from outdoor runs to travel and, yes, the occasional Netflix session. The styles that have my attention? They're inspired by traditional soccer and basketball pairs with drawstrings and nylon finishing. While O.G. sportswear brands like Umbro have been doing this for forever, designer pairs from Prada, Staud, and Coperni have emerged, and accordingly, fashion people have been styling the athletic staple in their casual warm-weather 'fits.

Below, shop the coolest athletic shorts that have a fashion-person spin to them and get inspired by how the style set is wearing them right now.

French girl-approved.
These have become a hit among several WWW editors already.
A tennis-themed twist on the classic.
If we're talking nylon shorts, these are the goal.
The scalloped hem ensures these are fashion-y.
Well these are fun.
This color, though.
Style these with chunky sandals and a racer tank.
Just look how good they are with a blazer.
I had a hard time choosing between the five colors these come in.
For trail runs and snack runs alike.
I've never described athletic items as beautiful before, but I think these qualify.
A summer color if I've seen one.
Note the built-in double layer that make these extra comfy.
This image makes me think sport shorts qualify as a beach coverup, too.
The O.G. soccer shorts that started it all.
Chic!
Summer workouts are calling your name.
Okay these may be from the men's section but you can't tell me they're not a vibe.
Love when the item comes with an outfit idea.
$34 of fun.
It's the neon drawstring for me.
Because Nike always comes through.
Retro but modern.

Next up, see the five shorts trends I'm purging from my closet this season.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
