Anya Taylor-Joy Wore Summer's Most Controversial Shorts-and-Shoes Pairing

Anya Taylor-Joy is nothing if not fearless when it comes to fashion. She's never been afraid to experiment with bold trends on and off the red carpet. So it should probably come as no surprise that she's tested out summer's most controversial pairing: leather micro shorts with over-the-knee boots, both designed by Chloé. Leather, of course, doesn't exactly scream summer, although the extra-short hemline is indeed fitting for high temps.

Over-the-knee boots are certainly not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of summer shoes, but Anya managed to pull off this look with aplomb. While I'm over here in my tried-and-true flip-flops or sneakers every day, Anya is definitely having more fun with summer fashion, and for that I applaud her. Scroll down to see her newest outfit and shop green shorts for yourself.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
