I’ll admit, I was not the first person to fall in love with the bike shorts trend. I honestly thought it was tacky, and didn’t see a point in trying to make them a thing. I felt like they were one of those style of shorts that not everyone can wear, and that were going to be overrated very quickly.
It is clear that the Kardashians made these a thing again–specifically Kim with her bike shorts and Kayne’s clothing line. When she wore them, everyone else had to too. I decided to see what this trend was about for myself, and I can honestly say that I love them. I have a different body type, so I was skeptical–but they work perfectly. I am truly a firm believer that anyone can pull off bike shorts–you just need to know how to style them. Here are five ways to style your next pair of bike shorts.
This is the ultimate Kim K look–this works for running to the store or grabbing a coffee, and even for a day out with friends. The reason this is number one is that, in this outfit, you have the flexibility to make it super casual or dress it up with a pair of heels. You can wear your favorite oversized sweatshirt or t-shirt and feel super comfortable while also looking stylish. It’s the best way to have all eyes on you this summer.
For the girls who aren’t afraid to show a little skin, this look is for you! You can show off the complete look of the bike shorts with a cropped shirt and make a statement showing off some of your stomach. A cropped t-shirt will make it more of a casual look, but if you have a dressier one shoulder shirt or blouse, it’ll be totally club worthy! This is also a great look for running around town or going out with friends, and it can be made dressy with heels.

For the girls who are not afraid to try anything, the blazer and bike shorts trend is for you. Find any fun blazer you like (you can literally get them from a thrift store), and make it your own with bike shorts! This look is perfect for a fun dinner or a night out on the town. Wearing black bike shorts, a black top, and a fun blazer is the best combo that will no doubt make you memorable.

For a fun summery look, you can’t go wrong with a tube top–this is 80s all the way, but still is super cute and fun. Try an all-black look, or make it fun with a bright colored top. You can even do the reverse and have fun bike shorts will a plain top–bingo!
