Gigi Hadid stepped out in New York earlier this afternoon wearing a laidback look. Her get-up consisted of a white shirt that buttoned diagonally and left artful cutouts across the body, a cream handbag, and the most slacker-chic beloved sandal of all, the Birkenstock. But it wasn’t the earthy footwear that turned heads but instead a pair of faded, sheared-off, mid-thigh-length jorts.
It was only a matter of time before a celebrity slipped into the wonderful world of jorts. After all, the piece has become a crucial part of the summer wardrobe after appearing on the runways at Gucci, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, and more. It provides coverage, unlike a standard daisy duke, and according to most fans in our “Jorts Have Taken Over” article, they provide airy comfort during those hot days of summer. Of course, something that many wearers note is that they often abide by a “tiny top, baggy bottom” silhouette, which Hadid pulled off effortlessly with her saucy, body-skimming shirt. It’s all about balance.
