Short leggings, biker shorts, or lifelong cyclists, are a trend that has been seeking space since the end of summer 2019 and will gain a lot of strength in 2020 and 2021.
Thanks to celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid and Hailey Baldwin, short leggings have found a place in street style far from gyms. Below we tell you how you can wear this trend.
How to choose my short leggings?
Cycling shorts, despite how cool they are, are a maintenance item, but if chosen well they generate a more fashion-forward effect than their long brothers. The keys are simple: design and quality.
Contrary to popular belief, leggings can be flattering (especially for inverted triangle and rectangular bodies). Look for them with a mid-thigh length and high waist to be able to exploit all their benefits.
The second decisive factor is the quality of the materials. Leggings, not just short ones, but in general, should be made with good quality materials to avoid transparency and accentuate the best virtues of your body.
How to wear them?
With the right styling tricks, short leggings can be worn with a blazer (our favorite option), with a shirt or with a sporty style.
We are in love with the mix of styles, and wearing a blazer with bikers is a daring bet. Up the ante by wearing colored or tweed blazers.
Wearing biker shorts with a shirt allows you more control over the body parts you want to accentuate. Don't be afraid to explore with volumes and accessories. We leave you a couple of ideas below.
In third place we have our favorite nineties trend imported directly from the memory of Lady Di. Wearing your shorts with oversized sweatshirts (or t-shirts), and some good accessories is the germ of athleisure. You can also try making a matching outfit like Emily Ratajkowski.
Another way to style biker leggings is with a denim jacket. We have seen it on Kim Kardashian and it will be a good alternative for halftime.
