Bike Shorts are a Trend I’ll Never Let Go of

Trends come and go, but the closet pieces you love are forever. At least, that’s how I feel about my beloved bike shorts.

I recently heard a rumor that bike shorts are on their way out, and to that I say: I don’t care. Ha! It hasn’t been until the last few years where I’ve started to feel like I’m settling into my personal style. I know what I like, I know what I don’t like, and I’m perfectly fine wearing what I love even if it’s “out of style.” Bike shorts are a trend that I’ve found that I love, and I’m never letting go!

I think there’s something a little timeless about these shorts. Especially when styled in a 90s way. A little minimalism, a little contrast between business and athleisure, it just seems to always work. Also, fashion icon Princess Diana made these shorts a key part of her everyday look. Who are we to question them?

Today is one of those early summer days with a cool morning and a blazing hot afternoon. Although I’ll be spending most of my day in air conditioning, shorts are a necessity at this point in the year. To combat the cooler temps of the morning/AC, I paired these shorts with a classic white button down. The goal is easy and comfortable, but a little more than just a t-shirt. Add in a favorite summer staple like Birkenstocks, and you’ve got the perfect casual summer look.

How are you feeling about bike shorts this summer? Yay or nay?

Xx, M
