Le Bike Shorts Trend of 2020.

Are you into the bike shorts trend? In general, I’m not usually big on athleisure, but I have been unable to get over the Vogue Paris spread of Hailey Bieber dressed up as Princess Di in her trademark workout look, of which bike shorts were the crowning jewel. I am strangely obsessed with this shoot, and it has led me down a confounding path towards testing bike shorts myself. (Help! Am I in a quarantine fashion tailspin?!) I polled some of my chicest friends who tend to embrace the fashion forward and many of them wear bike shorts at home or when running after small children, usually paired with an oversized button-down (very Tom Cruise in Risky Business — I would probably pair with an XS in the men’s Ralph Lauren classic) or tee. Their top suggestions for bike shorts are as follows:

GIRLFRIEND COLLECTIVE

LULULEMON (<<ONE FRIEND PREFERS THESE BECAUSE THEY COME IN DIFFERENT LENGTHS, WHICH IS NICE FOR US SHORTIES)

IVL COLLECTIVE*

BEYOND YOGA (MORE SIZES HERE)

J. CREW

What say you? And in general, how likely are you to try a trend?!
