Neither leggings nor bike shorts: The precise activewear trend that fashion-forward girls in L.A. don for Pilates and gym sessions.

      If you're residing in L.A., it’s likely that you've been enjoying the pre-summer sun, with temperatures reaching the high 20s. Meanwhile, those of us in New York and London are still awaiting our turn, but we’re living through your experiences. Nonetheless, the heat is rising, and so is the change in celebrity fashion. A perfect example is Kaia Gerber's recent outfit. This week, while heading to the Nike Training Studio in West Hollywood, Gerber traded in her usual leggings and bike shorts for something a little fresher and more suitable for the warm weather: foldover micro shorts. She paired them with a coordinating sports bra and a crew-neck sweatshirt, complemented by a leather shoulder bag and On running sneakers (Image credit: Backgrid). On Kaia Gerber: On sneakers.

      Foldover micro shorts are rapidly becoming a favored choice over traditional bike shorts and leggings, providing a fun and airy take on summer athleisure. Whether you're running errands, visiting the gym, or simply enjoying the sun, these shorts find the perfect balance between style and practicality. Their versatility allows them to pair nicely with everything from leather bomber jackets to cropped tanks, making it easy to transition from a workout to brunch. Interested in trying them yourself?
