Nylon Shorts to Wear When You’re Not Working Out

Nylon shorts are usually restricted to workouts. They’re probably already staples when it comes to your gym gear. But we’re making a case for their inclusion in the rest of your wardrobe. Why? Because nylon shorts are surprisingly versatile. Not to mention they’re ideal athleisure material. So much so that designer brands like Versace and Prada have put out high-end versions. Which means that fast-fashion labels also have plenty on offer. Lengths can vary from micro to more on the Bermuda side. Ease into the trend by sticking with more neutral shades. Like olive, khaki, white and black. Once you’re warmed up, go ahead and bust out more vibrant hues. Especially neons. See below for the top picks to wear this season.
