For the last week or so, thousands of people watched on TikTok as girls from the University of Alabama did fit checks for their sorority rush. Plus, they even came pretty close to playing a starring role in RushTok, the internet's latest obsession. They're iconic, and could also absolutely be included in a girl band photoshoot in the near future.

They essentially do what only Sporty Spice could do, which would explain the nearly 600 five-star reviews on Free People's site. The Way Home shorts somehow perfectly encapsulate that athletic-but-cute vibe that's hard to pin down. I think the reason I love them so much is because they remind me of playing soccer and walking around in the city after practice, still feeling cute in my uniform. All different colors of course, and they come in over 27 different colors, so I still have more options for my next purchase. Insert FP Movement's $30 Way Home shorts, shorts so comfortable, flattering, and perfect in every sense of the word, I now own three pairs.

I held onto those pairs from my high school days for years, but they're too worn to actually wear out. Since then, I haven't found a pair of athletic shorts I truly loved. (She also probably wouldn't want to, but that's besides the point.) I often wore them with pearl necklaces - but then again, what do you expect from someone who went to school in NYC when the original Gossip Girl came out? Blair Waldorf could never. Samba shoes and workout shorts were my religion. Which is ironic because I did grow up playing soccer and running track at my high school in the Bronx. That being said, workout clothing has never been my forte. Think of it like this: Hey, I'm walking here - in platform Mary Jane shoes.

And to that I would say: Native New Yorker, who frequently wears loafers to go hiking (true story) and doesn't understand the word "casual" (in my opinion, it's subjective). For someone who often wears things upside down or inside out, patterns of all different colors, and pearl stickers underneath my eyes, you may wonder what stereotype that could possibly be. Unfortunately, sometimes, when I really, really think about it, I'm a walking stereotype.
