The key to wearing sporty shorts IRL is to pair them with pieces that are totally impractical for a normal workout: ballet flats and button-up shirts, for example, or even a pair of heels.

All the best style moments happen when a look has at least one unexpected element. And this summer, sporty short shorts are the key to unlocking this foolproof fashion-pack hack.

That Hampstead Heath date wasn’t the first time Kravitz has taken sporty short shorts out for a spin.
