Hello there! I never thought I’d fall into the trend of wearing Adidas Firebird shorts, but here I am—completely hooked! I have to say, I absolutely love the effortless, yet preppy and sporty-chic vibe you get when you style them the right way (well, my version of the ‘right way’). If you want to know more about how I style them, keep reading.
The first thing to remember is that it’s all about mixing styles to break up the purely sporty look. A simple yet effective way to do this is by pairing your shorts with a good pair of leather loafers. If your shorts are a vibrant color like my red ones, black loafers are the perfect choice. Next up: white socks. To nail that preppy vibe, white socks are essential. Don’t underestimate the power of socks—they can totally elevate an outfit. So, steer clear of thick, sporty socks and opt for something sleek.
Now, let’s talk shirts. An oversized Oxford shirt—preferably in white—is a must-have. It’s a key element in pulling the look together. You can have some fun with colors or patterns here, but if you’re going for effortless chic, I highly recommend sticking with white. There’s nothing quite like a crisp white button-down to add timeless elegance. Alternatively, a white tee can also work wonders. For example, in this look, I chose a white tee and layered it with a boxy oversized black blazer from Mango to add a bit of structure.
Lastly, let’s talk accessories. I added a ‘vintage’ vibe with a Zara cap, which brought a cool element to the outfit. And, for the final touch, I chose my beloved Vintage Classic Chanel black lambskin bag—an unexpected piece that beautifully seals the whole look.
What about you? Are you into this trend?
