Emily Ratajkowski Wore the Only Bike-Short Outfit Trend That Matters Right Now

For now, gone are the days of our favorite celebrities dressed to the nines on the red carpet. Instead, we're lucky to get a glimpse of a celebrity casually dressed to walk their dog around their neighborhood. But the good thing about that is at least those dog-walking outfits are ones we could actually copy, unlike most of the red carpet ones. Luckily for us, one of those celebrities who have to walk their dogs is Emily Ratajkowski, who was photographed doing just that in NYC this week. And she always looks cool, no matter how casually dressed (e.g., in bike shorts) she may be.
If you ask us, the very best bike-short outfit trend consists of an oversize T-shirt, bike shorts (obviously), and sneakers. That's it. It's not groundbreaking, but it's casual, comfortable, stylish, and EmRata-approved. Just add sunglasses, gold hoop earrings, and a face mask, and you're done.
Keep scrolling to shop the look, along with some of our favorite bike shorts.
On Emily Ratajkowski: Noah Pocket Tee ($52); Veja Esplar Sneakers ($120); Ray-Ban sunglasses
