Bang Chan Brings Back the Jort—with a Stray Kids Spin on Summer’s Most Polarizing Trend

As Stray Kids continues to dominate stages across the U.S. with their <dominATE> world tour, the members aren’t just making noise with their music—they're also turning heads with their fashion. This week, Bang Chan, the group’s ever-stylish leader, took to Instagram to serve up an outfit that perfectly blends summer’s boldest trends with his signature street-smart edge.

In a series of casual yet perfectly styled snapshots, Bang Chan was seen sporting extra-long jorts—yes, jorts, or denim shorts—proving once again that he's never afraid to push fashion boundaries. These aren’t your average cutoffs either. Falling somewhere between traditional Bermuda shorts and wide-legged culottes, these nu-metal-inspired denim bottoms mark a full-circle return of the early 2000s grunge silhouette.

To style the jorts, Bang Chan paired them with a white Fendi hoodie, part of the brand’s eye-catching collaboration with Japanese artist Tarout, lending the look an artsy, designer edge. The oversized fit of the hoodie gave off a cool, nonchalant vibe, perfect for post-show lounging or summer city strolls.

Anchoring the look were chunky platform sneakers—a subtle rebellion against the current wave of sleek, retro trainers making a comeback in 2025. Chan’s choice to stick with height-boosting footwear is more than just a style move—it’s practical. Platform shoes are perfect for concert season, offering not just comfort, but a better view from the crowd.

And of course, no Bang Chan fit would be complete without his trusty black beanie, a quiet staple that has followed him through tour stops, airport sightings, and behind-the-scenes moments. While trends come and go, this accessory grounds his outfit in personal style and continuity.

What makes Bang Chan’s look so compelling is the balance. He doesn’t blindly follow trends—he curates them, blends them with favorites from his own closet, and makes them work on his terms. The result is a look that’s effortlessly cool, on-trend but never try-hard, and refreshingly sustainable. It's a fashion lesson worth noting: trend cycles may guide the season, but personal style shapes the moment.

As the temperatures rise, don’t be surprised if jorts, platform sneakers, and artful hoodies start popping up everywhere. With Bang Chan leading the charge, this might just be the summer of the long short.
