9 Pics That Convinced Us That Bike Shorts Are Life

Allow us to reintroduce you to our new BFF: the beloved bike shorts. Stretchy, snug, squat-proof and also sitting-on-the-lounge-all-day-proof shorts are arguably the most versatile bottoms in new arrivals right now (jeans, eat your heart out!). Wear them as they were intended to be worn, with a matching crop top when you’re working out; channel 80s aerobics style with an oversized tee or sweatshirt and sneakers a la the late Princess Diana; add a sense of sophistication with a business shirt, blazer and heels; or sneak them under dresses that are sheer or short, or when you need extra support. Bike shorts are the unsung heroes of this new kind of dressed up casual style and we are here for every inventive way you wish to wear them. Here are just a few of our favourite looks that champion the bike short.
