BIKE
SHORTS
TRY THISIT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
before the SoulCycle obsession
infiltrated our wardrobes. Cue: the
unexpected emergence of bike shorts.
We were dubious when the
Kardashians started touting the
leggings-as-pants look last year but
the spring/summer 19 shows made
converts of us. Jacquemus sent bold
orange bike shorts with loosely tied
white shirting down the runway, Bella
Hadid made athletic navy iterations
look corporate-chic at Fendi and Acne
Studios took them into PM by teaming
them with leather. But it was Chanel
who really led the charge, with black
or printed cycling styles cropping up
throughout the beach-themed show.
The easiest way to buy into the
trend? A long-line blazer over bike
shorts – but we’re also partial to
the off-duty model take: bright knits
or athleisure windcheaters with
“ugly” sneakers and a ponytail. It’s
a don’t-take-yourself-too-seriously
trend – so treat it as such.EIT’S TIME TO TAKE SIDES ON
THIS SEASON’S MOST
POL ARISING TREND.
