Hi loves!
It has been a busy week and it isn't over yet. We're on our way back into society and so are our daily outfits.
I don't know about you but personally after months of wearing sweatpants I'm ready for an upgrade. Something different but small, let's not get crazy because I'm still not quite ready to put on jeans. Thankfully, one trend has continued strong from the last 2 seasons that will make the transition to wearing everyday clothing again a whole lot easier: bike shorts! I like to think of bike shorts as summer-appropriate leggings. You can style them up or you can style them down but the comfort is unbeatable. Honestly, pair a bike short with an oversized blazer and you're ready to take on the world.
Here are some of the ways you can utilize bike shorts for all of your summer looks:
- Casual Wear: The easiest way to wear this piece is casually. Personally, I love pairing with combat boots, a tee, and a denim jacket. Throw them on with a sweatshirt or oversized cardigan and a chunky sneaker and you have a great travel outfit as well.
- Office Attire: This one is of course dependent on your office dress code! If you work in a creative field or one with a more laid back dress code (or you're still working from home), pair a bermuda bike short with a turtleneck or tee and a blazer and you have a look suitable for both summer lunch walks and chilly office AC
- Heading to Brunch: Throw on a cute cropped sweater and a wrap-up heel, or that oversized blazer again, and you're ready for a rooftop brunch with the gals.
- For A Workout: Whether it be for a hike, a quick living room HIIT session, or to tennis, you can take advantage of the versatility (and Spandex) to change these shorts into quick workout attire when needed!
- A Night Out: Pair your bike shorts with a corset bodysuit or crop top, a kitten-heel sandal, and a high pony and you have a look ready to dance the night away in (once bars reopen that is).
There you have it, a trend that is not only versatile and stylish but also inexpensive! I created a whole Pinterest board with even more inspiration. Check it out here to figure out your favorite way to wear the bike short.
Don't own one yet? These are my all-time favorite (and most comfortable) bike shorts, all under $50!
