She shoots and…she scores! 

The crowd is going wild for a new athleisure trend that’s changing the game: basketball shorts paired with heels. We first spotted the new interpretation of menswear back a few years back when Miley Cyrus and Rihanna introduced the look through their street style. Now that athleisure has become a wardrobe staple in pop culture, we’re seeing these men’s shorts more frequently.

Just take Joan Smalls, who combined lingerie and sportswear for a standout look. Who knew that basketball shorts could look so sultry?!

While you may not have thought of these shorts as a must-have, it makes sense that they’re a go-to for the model and style influencers like Kim Kardashian. Like a boyfriend jean, the loose-fitting silhouette provides comfort and pairs well with curve-hugging tops. The style is masculine and sporty, yet with high heels the finished look is sexy and edgy.
