These $20 Old Navy Sweat Shorts Are a TikTok Sensation For Good Reason

Like most people, I'm TikTok obsessed. I wouldn't say I'm easily influenced to buy what I see on the app, per se, but when I come across not one but several people raving about a particular item, that's when I start to pay closer attention. That's precisely the case for Old Navy's Extra High-Waisted Vintage Sweat Shorts, 5-Inch Inseam ($8, originally $20). I'm not sure that I would have given them a second glance on the retailer's website, but countless content creators raved about them, so I decided to see what the fuss was about and added my usual size medium in white to my virtual shopping cart.

What I Like About These Shorts

I admit that I've been sitting here for minutes on end trying to put into words what I like about these trendy shorts, because there's just so damn much. For starters, I'm obsessed with the french-terry fabric, which is perfect for spring and summer dressing (unlike fleece, which is way too warm when temperatures soar). They're not too thick and not too thin, the latter of which is imperative to keep these babies from being see-through (I promise, they're not). And finally, these shorts feature pockets - deep ones! What's not to love?

What Occasion Are These Shorts Good For?

While I'm tempted to say these sweat shorts are good for hanging out or running errands, a stylish TikTok user convinced me they're even more versatile. They look super cute teamed with a crop top, a button-down, a cropped sweater - the list goes on. I'm looking forward to challenging myself to find new ways to wear them, but in this very moment, I deem them a loungewear essential.

What's Worth Noting About These Shorts

Despite the fact that these sweat shorts have predominantly five-star ratings, there are a few lower ones scattered among the mix. The reason for that seems to be that shoppers didn't realize they are slightly oversize with a wide leg opening, and in their defense, that's not made super clear on the brand's website. I'm personally a fan of the style, but I understand that's not everyone's vibe.

Would I Recommend These Shorts?

Absolutely! As someone who hasn't worn shorts like these since my Soffe phase in high school, I can attest that these are a more elevated take on the classic style - and they're probably the most comfortable pair I've worn in literal years. All things considered, I give 'em a *perfect* five-star rating.

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...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
