I Thought This Trend Was Going to Die, But It's Having a Huge Comeback

While bike shorts have certainly had waves of popularity on the fashion scene—love them or hate them—it’s safe to say they are officially having a huge comeback and have been spotted on celebrities and fashion girls alike all over our feeds.

Not only are bike shorts supremely comfortable (and the perfect alternative to leggings throughout summer), but the beauty of bike shorts is that they can also be styled in so many cool and wonderful ways that can change up the whole vibe of your ensemble in an instant. Pair them with a tank top and blazer to add polish to your bike shorts outfit, or wear them with an oversize button-down for an effortlessly cool look. And you can never go wrong with basic bike shorts paired with an oversize graphic tee—the ultimate in stylish comfort. Ready to take on the trend? Get inspired by the outfits below and shop our favorite bike shorts on the market.
