5 Ways to Wear Biker Shorts IRL This Summer

Published by

Of all the celebrity-endorsed styles that catch on, biker shorts outfits might be one of the most surprising. As it turns out, the cycling shorts fashion trend has serious staying power. I, for one, have fully embraced the look; aside from being a summer must-have, these stretchy shorts are also crazy comfortable. What’s better than that? I get that you might still be apprehensive or unsure of how to wear biker shorts in real life–that’s why I’ve put together five different outfits with the Trudy Black Bike Shorts to inspire you, along with some helpful styling tips.

1. Try Biker Shorts with a Blazer

Looking for a way to make biker shorts look sophisticated and chic? Just pair with a matching tank and top with a crisp white blazer. Go from daytime to date night with some strappy nude heels!

2. Wear Them with A Knotted Button-Down Shirt

Want to feel put together and still be comfortable? Pair your favorite pair of biker shorts with an oversized button-down shirt. You can even make the look a little more casual by tying your top in front.

3. Pair Them with A Denim Jacket and Crop Top

For drinks with the girls or date night with your S.O., toss a denim jacket over a tube top and you’ve got a sporty summer biker shorts outfit. Pair with a patterned headscarf for an extra on-trend look!

4. Style Biker Shorts with a Summer Sweatshirt

Need something to transition from the beach to a bonfire? Throw on a graphic sweatshirt over your biker shorts and pair with a straw beach bag and nude sandals to match.

5. Wear Cycling Shorts with a Graphic Tee

This is such an easy go-to combination! Graphic tees with biker shorts is a perfect no-brainer outfit for those days when you want to look stylish without all the effort! This combo is best paired with sandals or even clear heels to dress it up a bit.
