15 Reasons to Give Bike Shorts a Try

Bike shorts are so much more than a wardrobe staple for actual cycling. Whether you’re wearing them with an oversize blazer and heels for a polished look or layering them under a slip dress that's gathered or tucked just enough to reveal your spandex bottoms for a summer night, we fully approve. And while we have a ton of looks of our own that we can’t wait to try, we’ve enlisted the help of some of the chicest fashion people out there to offer up even more bike-shorts outfit inspiration.

Trust us. These will give you plenty of cool new ideas for how to wear the closet staple. From casual and sporty combinations to more dressed-up looks, the bike-shorts outfits we've rounded up can do it all. Scroll through our favorite looks, and then shop the trend for yourself.

Make your bike shorts more tailored with the addition of a structured blazer. Have fun with the sportswear vibe, though, and keep it casual with a pair of colorful sneakers.
We've never met a monochrome look we didn't love. 
Try out an unexpected shade like lime green.
Yes, bike shorts, blazers, and lace-up boots go together incredibly well. 
Top off an all-black bike-shorts look with an oversize denim jacket. Dress it down with sneakers or up with more elevated sandals.
Another cool way to style bike shorts with a blazer. While a black blazer is great for a monochrome look, this checked version adds in some extra dimension.
The high socks and chunky sneakers make this look. 
Go simple with a crew-neck T-shirt and sneakers. With a black tee and white kicks, consider an understated color for your bike shorts.
A nautical-striped cardigan is a fun addition to sleek bike shorts. 
Now this is a fashion (with a capital F) look. 
Note to self: Buy button-downs two sizes too big and pair them with bike shots. 
Show a little skin by styling your super-high-waisted bike shorts with a skimpy crop top. Add a structured blazer on top to play the juxtaposition of tailoring and sportswear.
Keep it simple with a button-down shirt. More tailored than a T-shirt but just as simple when it comes to the wardrobe essential's throw-on-and-go nature, it's the perfect pairing for your new favorite shorts trend.
Go monochrome with an all-black look. If you're not into a pop of color, consider a pair of white shoes to brighten up your look.
Lean into the '90s vibe with all your favorite styling pieces from the decade. Top your bike shorts with a colorful slip dress; then add a fanny pack, bright sunglasses, and "dad" sneakers.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
