I Finally Gave In to the Biker-Shorts Trend and Found 11 Cool Ways to Style Them

There are plenty of summer trends that I jumped on immediately this year: tie-dye everything, ribbed tank tops, and chunky "tourist" sandals to name a few. Biker shorts were not on that list. However, after seeing celebs wear the comfy shorts style over and over again, I finally decided to give them a try.

To be clear, I previously owned one pair of biker shorts that I strictly wore with a sports bra and exercise sneakers for workouts. They never saw the light of day though, and they definitely never became a part of an outfit that didn't involve activewear. Flash forward to today, and I can't get enough of the style. They're undoubtedly practical for my current work-from-home lifestyle but are also so easy to turn into tons of cool, effortless outfits, like these 11 for example…

I've been seeing so many incredible shades of yellow this season, and these sunny biker shorts are no exception. I like this simple styling with the one-shoulder black top and chunky gold necklace. It says, "I could work out in this outfit, but I probably won't."
As I mentioned before, ribbed tanks are a trend I instantly incorporated into my summer wardrobe, so I can't wait to recreate this outfit. The addition of the button-down is key for making this feel more like an outfit and less like pajamas.
This off-duty look is perfect for anyone wanting to ease into the trend. Plus, oversize T-shirts and chunky workout sneakers are always fashion-girl favorites.
This is a perfect example of how to style printed biker shorts, which I'm seeing more and more brands create. Sticking to one color palette really works here.
If neutral outfits are not your thing, then maybe this bright knit and leopard shorts look will pique your interest. It definitely piqued mine.
Mixing different shades of pink is a great way to test-drive the tonal trend. I can't way to try out this styling idea. 
My co-worker Nicole, pictured here, has the best style that often leans more classic than trendy. I was a little surprised to see she's a biker-shorts fan but less so after seeing her insanely chic styling (those shoes! that jacket!). No further questions.
I swear checkered blazers make any outfit infinitely more polished. I sincerely hope they never go out of style because I plan to recreate this polished-yet-casual look over and over.
An outfit that makes a serious case for monochromatic dressing. This is also just a really cheerful color palette, so there's that.
Pairing any form of athletic wear with heels might feel dramatic, but it's this exact detail that makes this biker-shorts outfit work (aka not feel like loungewear).
I love that inserting denim shorts into this outfit would be just as cute but twice as expected. The biker shorts really feel fresh here. Now if I could only wear this outfit on vacation instead of at home…

Next, try these seven easy summer outfits using pieces you probably already own.

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...
