The Summer Allure of a Little Gym Short
This summer in New York City, the breakout item that all the downtown cool kids are wearing is not some designer shoe or rare vintage bag—but the humble gym short. Yes, really! Just the other day, I spotted several striped Adidas gym shorts over in Dimes Square, some of them paired with dressy button-up shirts or snazzy socks and loafers. The new look of summer 2025? It's all about dressing like a gym rat, whether or not you've ever stepped foot inside an overpriced Equinox. Needless to say, I am totally captivated by this sporty new styling approach. Celebrities have been very much on board with the saucy little gym short. Just earlier today, Zoë Kravitz paired a mini black gym short with a Black History Month tee and heeled mules in New York. Hailey Bieber has stepped out in an itty-bitty blue style, pairing it with a leather bomber jacket (her signature piece), and Harry Styles has color-blocked his red shorts with a mustard-yellow sneaker.

Gym shorts on the runway? Very protein-chic.

Harry Styles Is Diving Right Into Gym Short Summer
There are certain telltale signs that summer is right around the corner: Hemlines start going up. Dua Lipa starts posting vacation photos on Instagram, and hot men start wearing itty-bitty gym shorts. Would it even be a proper summer if we didn't catch a glimpse of Paul Mescal and Harry Styles walking around London in a pair of tiny Adidas striped shorts? Earlier today in London, Styles emerged flashing a lot of leg—meaning summer 2025 is officially kicking off. The singer was spotted running solo errands in his short red gym shorts. Styles is no stranger to rocking the style, of course; they long been an essential part of his summer wardrobe. This time around, though, he paired the athletic shorts with a classic black crewneck sweater, and then leaned into quirkier accessories—including a vintage purple beer hat, a David Hockney-themed tote bag, and mustard-yellow Prada sneakers.

While Princess Diana made athleisure dressing a thing with her love of bike shorts, for men, the look appears to be all about the retro-style gym short. Mescal is a well-noted lover of them, and the masses have found the shorts alluring. In writing about why we go so feral for the exposed bare legs of men, Vogue contributor Raven Smith noted, 'Male thighs are a bit like female cleavage: both sexually suggestive and dormantly benign, at times inviting, at others innocent.' The real question is: Will these humble shorts become a trend this summer outside of just Mescal and Styles? Will we see fellow A-list hunks like Austin Butler, A$AP Rocky, and Pedro Pascal start rocking them, too? Will we see them on a red carpet? We're certainly not opposed to all of the above.
