Emily Ratajkowski puts a skater girl spin on the viral jorts trend
Emily Ratajkowski tackles even the most divisive fashion trends head on, and we can't help but admire her ability to pull them off with the utmost ease.

The skating apparel label's classic shoe was all over the fashion landscape back then, to the point where everyone had a pair of Old Skools, even if the closest you ever got to the sport was ironically squawking the lyrics to Avril Lavigne's Sk8er Boi.
We're slowly coming around to the idea of jorts, and EmRata is the culprit…
