in short order

 

All that time lounging around in gym clothes has made some of us masters at making them look super chic. Claire Rose Cliteur, who splits her time between New York and Barcelona, is one of them. Her strategy is to pair her gym shorts (now a veritable summer trend) with more elevated--and unexpected--pieces, such as a polished button-down or stylish stripes. Of course, the right gym shorts (and their distant relatives) are clutch. So I boiled it down to these guys from Vince, Year of Ours, J.Crew, Theory, Donni, and The Frankie Shop.
