Zoë Kravitz Wore the Shoe Trend That Looks Best With Shorts

While many New Yorkers are currently buzzing about Harry Styles’s 30-show residency at Madison Square Garden, which kicked off last night, another group—myself included—is focused on a different kind of excitement: gathering street style outfit inspiration from Zoë Kravitz now that she’s back in town. If you’re keeping a close eye on her off-duty looks like I am, you’ve likely noticed her latest ensemble offered a master class in late-summer style for petite fashion people.

Kravitz took to the streets of Manhattan yesterday afternoon wearing a sporty-chic outfit. She paired a nostalgic Barneys New York tee with tight-fitting black mini shorts and sleek slide-on kitten heels from The Row.

Pairing kitten heels with athletic shorts provides an unexpected contrast that elevates the whole vibe to something effortlessly cool. It reflects her iconic aesthetic while offering a practical styling trick for smaller frames to add sophistication without being overwhelmed by the garments. As a 5-foot fashion person myself, I completely get the vision. While sneakers might make the most sense for a walk along the Westside Highway, the kitten heels gave her 5’2″ frame a subtle boost of height that works wonderfully for meetings and errands.

She finished the look with her signature accessories: a white headband, oval-shaped sunglasses, and a Saint Laurent leopard-print bag. The result is a polished outfit that feels perfect for the remainder of summer. If you couldn’t already tell, I’ve been influenced.
