I'm standing behind the foldover-shorts trend this summer.

Meanwhile, those of us in New York and London are still waiting for our turn, but we’re living vicariously through you. Regardless, the heat is on, and so is the shift in celebrity attire. Case in point? Kaia Gerber’s latest ensemble.

She styled them with a matching sports bra and a crew-neck sweatshirt with a leather shoulder bag and On running sneakers
