Bike shorts are all the rage right now. Celebrities have been spotted wearing them regularly with sports bras, sweatshirts, crop tops, and other athletic wear – but the compression shorts can actually function in another way, too. If you’re not about athleisure, you can take bike shorts and dress them up by wearing them under dresses and skirts.
Bonus: they double as wardrobe malfunction protection for skirts that are just a tad too short! They’ve been seen under skirts everywhere from the streets of New York to Milan Fashion Week runways, so clearly this isn’t a trend you should ignore.
You know a trend is big when Kim Kardashian gets in on it. The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star was able to rock a slit skirt while avoiding a wardrobe malfunction by pairing her vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress with black bike shorts. She added Merah Vodianova heels and a small clutch to complete her look for BeautyCon on July 15, 2018.
