Hawa Magaji Shows How to Style Sports Shorts
Hawa Magaji’s Easter outfit moves between leisurewear and a more styled approach to dressing. She reworked sports shorts into a considered outfit, pairing them with an oversized blazer, a structured bag, and Adidas Samba sneakers. In her caption, she noted, “just stepped out for air and a little attention.”
Magaji wore a sleeveless white bodycon top tucked into mint green sports shorts from Viorge Circle. The fitted top sits close to the body and balances the proportions of the look. The neckline sits just below the collarbone. The shorts fall to mid-thigh, allowing ease while maintaining a defined shape. A drawstring waistband shapes the waist without restricting the fit.

She layered a white blazer over the top and left it open. The blazer’s shoulders extend toward the wrists, while the hem falls around mid-thigh, sitting in line with the length of the shorts.
Hawa wore her hair in a curled bun, gathered and pinned at the back. The style keeps the face and neck open, with a few curled strands left loose around the face.
She completed the look with Adidas Samba sneakers. The green stripe on the shoes follows the mint tone of the shorts, matching the outfit

On her wrist, she wore a silver-toned bracelet watch with a linked strap. She carried a white mini bag with laser-cut detailing. The bag follows the white tones of the top and blazer while introducing a slight variation in texture.
