Briiing briiing! Bicycle shorts are back, baby!

Are you ready for another '90s comeback trend? We hope so, because it's official: bicycle (or bike or sometimes they're called biker) shorts are here to stay for summer. If you're already thinking "these aren't for me," just hear us out first. This "ugly" trend has its own fashion benefits. For starters, because they hit above the knee, the cut is surprisingly flattering on a lot of body types. Next up, because they aren't super short, they're wearable from day to night. With heels and a blazer, they can even work at the office, and for date night, they look just as good with a statement blouse. On weekends, you can wear them with sneakers and crop tops. You get the point — they're versatile. So, whether you love them, hate them, or are at least curious, we've got you covered. Keep reading for more of the best sporty fashion shorts on the internet right now.

Easy styling

When you pick an all black pair, the shorts can work with most of statement sleeve tops already hanging in your wardrobe. For something a bit different, we suggest trying it on with a tee and printed robe. Slipper like slides should be the perfect accessory to go with it.

Hands in

These shorts win your major style points, and bonus points for function too. They'd work perfectly with a tee and jean jacket, but we love them for having pockets for essentials.

Lovely in lavender

Lavender is a huge colour for summer, and it doesn't have to be ultra girly either. Bike shorts instantly toughen up the look, and pair well with white sneakers, sleek hair and hoop earrings.
