Once you’ve seen a jort, you can’t forget it. It burrows into your brain and most likely your closet. Google trends also can’t unsee it: This summer, there has been a spike in the search term. While walking through Brooklyn recently, I spotted a trio of superstylish young women, one of whom, a student named Reina, was wearing jorts. “I didn’t have any shorts so I cut my jeans because we are living the thrifted lifestyle,” she said, pointing to her friend. “They were her pants and they didn’t fit for years!” Reina’s styling of the jorts was intentional. She paired them with kicky red cowboy boots and a classic white tank top. She isn’t the only one drawn to this combo. Nicky, a gallery assistant on the Upper East Side, swears by jorts and cowboy boots. “If you’re willing to sever ties with the beloved light-wash Levi’s, you can find some great vintage deals online,” she says, adding that the dark-wash pair she wears are vintage Norman Todd.When I asked the question “who’s wearing jorts?” on my Instagram, I received hundreds–yes, hundreds!—of answers from avid jorts wearers like models Paloma Elsesser and Salem Mitchell, stylist Miyako Bellizzi, vintage-enthusiast Clara Perlmutter, designer Favour Mberu, and countless fashion editors. Most wear the style because it’s breathable and comfortable. “I love the bigger, baggy fit. They’re roomy and so much more comfy than tight jean shorts,” says Naomi Abrahams, a PhD student. “Also, I really like the tourist dad look, especially with the Tevas.”Jorts are everywhere on the runway as well. At Gucci resort 2023, they were bedazzled and paired with a button-up, a black jacket, and black boots. For Max Mara pre-fall 2022, a dark-wash iteration was paired with a button-up and a light jacket. Ann Demeulemeester, Coach, Louis Vuitton, and denim maestro Ksenia Schnaider all showed jorts for spring 2022. The spring 2023 runways were ridden with them too: at Louis Vuitton with tailored or matching tops, Givenchy with tight mock necks, Fendi with crisp button-ups, and Natasha Zinko with flashy jackets.There is an art to styling the airy-leg shorts. The aesthetic doesn’t have to be Sandlercore baggy layers—though you can do that! Instead, it’s about balance. It’s about intention. Editor Lauren McCarthy notes that she “supports jorts in all forms” but adds that she’s about a “small top and a baggy bottom.” Lisa Lingenti, the owner of Paris’s Nuovo, a vintage shop in the Marais, prefers to wear them with corsets when going out for the night. Ultimately, the tight top and loose-and-long shorts look is a stellar one that calls to mind a refined Slim Shady. In other words, buckle up into your jorts—it’s going to be a breezy summer.Dips, duckwalks, and drops were on full display at this year’s Rainbow Ball in Manila, Philippines. Now in its second year running, the Pride Month event brought local and international ballroom performers alike to the Ayala Malls Circuit on June 11. Hosted by House of Mizrahi, a well-known voguing house in the Philippines, the ball encouraged the crowd to put forward their best dance moves and to celebrate inclusivity. “We were not really expecting too much, we thought it would be just a small crowd,” says Mother Xyza, the house’s founder and main organizer, of the event. “But it was amazing to see lots of people appreciating and getting to know more about the community and the culture.”
