Something that every cool dresser knows is that when it comes to fashion, opposites attract. Sure, you could wear track shorts (which are still very much a trend) with the obvious choice, which is sneakers, or you could go with the cool-girl choice, which is zebra-print shoes. The latter is exactly what Diane Kruger just went with in NYC.

The always-stylish Kruger was photographed walking through the streets of Soho in a pair of silky black track shorts (with an equally silky button-down shirt) and bold, pointed-toe zebra-print shoes. The combination of the casual shorts and trendy shoes is unexpectedly elegant and cool, and proves once again that utilizing the "wrong-shoe theory" can lead to very successful outfits. It's one of those rare combinations that shouldn't work in theory, but absolutely does IRL.

Read on to take in the track-shorts-and-zebra-print-shoe pairing for yourself and to shop the cool-girl combination if Kruger's sartorial saviness has convinced you to give it a go.
