This summer has been all about shorts: shorts of Brobdingnagian proportions, teeny-tiny Daisy Dukes. While many have been extreme, Jennifer Lawrence understands there’s sweet, sartorial relief in the modern classic: denim jorts.
The actor was photographed out and about in New York yesterday with her family: husband Cooke Moroney and their two young sons. Pushing her Babyzen stroller, Lawrence paired her raw-hemmed, light blue denim jorts – which hit just above the knee – with an oversized vintage navy Playboy shirt, a black baseball cap and black flip-flops.
It was, all in all, a textbook Jennifer Lawrence summer-in-the-city outfit: a light and louche silhouette, a playful graphic tee and cap, street-ready flip-flops. The slogan shirt especially looms large in Lawrence’s current summer capsule. Recently, she’s worn vintage Stevie Wonder and The Beatles merch, a São Jorge Açores dolphin tee, and a JW Anderson shirt emblazoned with Sissy Spacek in Stephen King’s Carrie. Even if she’s not adding in a pair of jorts, she keeps her lower half super relaxed. Think: tailored Bermudas or silky slip skirts. There’s always a sense of effortlessness.
But Lawrence knows the once-divisive jorts are some of the most versatile bottoms one can have in the summertime: paired with schlubby tees or an elevated tank, flip-flops or thong heels. Whether you’ve been having a big shorts summer or going itsy-bitsy like Charli XCX, remember that jorts will last you summer upon summer.
