Suddenly, Celebrities Are Over Denim and Track Shorts—This is the Shorts Trend They’re All Backing Instead

All of a sudden, I can’t help but notice that the track shorts I was writing about just last month have been suddenly sidelined in favour of a new, and, honestly, quite surprising, shorts trend. As if a meeting had taken place overnight, the chicest celebrities I keep tabs on have begun shelving both their track and denim shorts in favour of the new-season pink shorts trend.

Cropping up in L.A.’s chicest corners, I spotted Hailey Bieber and Nina Dobrev both crafting elevated activewear outfits with Alo’s stretchy biker shorts in a soft, pale pink shade. While Hailey styled hers with a complementary pale grey hoodie, Nina leaned into the feminine hue, pairing hers with a matching wrap top.

Clearly emerging as a new-season activewear favourite, pink shorts aren’t being reserved solely for workouts, either. I’ve also spotted celebrities weaving the pretty hue into their everyday wardrobes. Wearing a pair of pale pink shorts with a matching vest top, Iris Law proved that those looking to get ahead of the trend are already investing in the colour.

Meanwhile, Elsa Hosk gave the short-shorts trend a more polished spin, styling her pair with another of the season’s growing trends: a striped T-shirt. She kept the rest of the look understated, anchoring the playful pink with timeless accessories, including a chic cognac-toned bag.
