Here's How to Style Big-Ass Basketball Shorts This Summer

Hold onto your Oakleys and crank up the Prodigy, because it's a big, breezy basketball short summer.

We've seen folks—OK, Bella Hadid—in NYC style them with equestrian boots in an irreverent play on proportion and function; we've watched LA peeps contrast their masc mesh knee-grazers with a femme heel like Rihanna to turn heads, and seen Adam Sandler slay in oversized blue B-ballers.
