Here’s how to style bike shorts
Suffice it to say, bike shorts have become one of our go-to wardrobe staples over the past few years. The once gym-bound short has blossomed into a cool girl-style fixture. They definitely had their viral moment but the question remains – are bike shorts still in style? The short answer – YES! They have become a wardrobe staple because there are so many ways you can wear them. Here are some cool ideas of how you can style bike shorts!
1. With a crop top + blazer
If you’re worried about bike shorts looking too basic – pair them with a cool blazer and a matching cropped top. We love this look because it looks simultaneously cool and casual. If neon green sports sandals are too much for you – you can always go with a classic white sneaker.

2. An oversized tee and a cool crossbody bag
This is the perfect outfit for when you’re out running errands all day. If you were a leggings all-day girly in the past, think of the bike short and oversized tee as the newer, cooler version. An oversized white tee or a cool graphic print work great for this look!

3. With a loose-fit blouse and kitten heels
Looking for an office-ready outfit? Try a loose fitting white button-up! Business on top and sporty on the bottom! Finding shoes (that aren’t sneakers) to wear with bike shorts can be a little tricky – but a pair of cute kitten heels can do just the trick – in either a classic pointed toe or even in a more modern thong style.
Let’s keep it minimalistic. Wearing a cool bandeau top or even a tube top can be the perfect summer outfit for bike shorts. Add a cute knit or crochet bag and you’re all set to hit the farmer’s market!

6. With knee high boots
A surprising combination we’ve been seeing on the fashion scene has been knee high boots and bike shorts. Chloë Grace Moretz wears them here with a cool blazer in a head-to-toe Louis Vuitton look outside of the show at Paris Fashion Week earlier this spring.
