5 Ways to Wear Bike Shorts this Summer

Yes, I'm back to talk about bike shorts - again! The athleisure trend is here to stay and if you’re tired of hearing about it, well you know what they say; If you can’t beat them, join them! 

I already shared why influencers love this trend so much and now I’m here with a style lesson to help you wear bike shorts all summer long. 

That’s right, the bike shorts hype will run strong all summer, but I’m not complaining! This comfortable athleisure essential is the easiest item in my closet to style and has quickly become my go-to for summer 2020. Ready to discover your new favourite bike shorts fit? 

Here are 5 outfit ideas to style bike shorts all summer long! 

In all black 

When in doubt, you can always trust an all-black outfit. Just pair your bike shorts with a black crop top and finish your look with a black blazer for an easy look that can be appropriate for a variety of occasions. 

With a blazer 

An oversized blazer is another wardrobe essential and luckily it pairs perfectly with a pair of bike shorts. This outfit duo is ideal for a professional look during the summer. I completed my look with a pair of sneakers, but you could also opt for a nice pair of sandals.

With some old school flare 

Bike shorts were originally an ‘80s trend, so it just makes sense to wear them with a little old school flare. For an old school look, pair your bike shorts with a graphic blouse and wear it open over a white top. Again, mind your footwear and opt for some kicks that are also ‘80s originals. 

In denim 

A denim jacket was made for cooler summer nights and pairs to perfection with a pair of bike shorts. Wear it with your favourite white t-shirt and some cool accessories like a pair of sunglasses and your look is complete. 

With an unexpected neutral 

Rules are meant to be broken! Don't be afraid to pair black biker shorts with brown. The myth that black and brown can’t be worn together is just that — a total myth. I love how bike shorts pair with this brown topper and provide an unexpected style twist. 

What’s your favourite way to wear bike shorts?
