Zoë Kravitz has found a way to keep wearing hot pants without pretending summer hasn't ended. Photographed during a solo coffee run in New York City, the actor and director layered a lightweight suede jacket over a pair of black hot pants, finishing the look with suede ballet flats and a vintage baseball cap. The outfit, first reported by Marie Claire, doubles as a practical style lesson in how to keep warm-weather pieces in rotation as temperatures drop.
The suede jacket is doing the real work here. Unlike a heavier fall coat, a lightweight suede jacket adds just enough structure and warmth to make bare-legged hot pants feel considered rather than out of season, without requiring Kravitz to give up the shorts entirely. It's a layering trick that's become increasingly common as celebrities stretch their summer wardrobes into September and October, and Kravitz's version leans into one of Fall 2026's most visible fabric trends. Suede has shown up repeatedly this season, not just in jackets but in bags and trench coats as well, giving the material a foothold across multiple categories rather than a single runway moment.
