Call the ’90s, cycling shorts are back!

If you are a ’90s kid, you will remember the cycling shorts phase—they were paired with sweaters, and long shirts or T-shirts, and were the best to spend “hanging out” time in. The trend first burst on the scene with the late Princess Diana of Wales, styling her cycling shorts with an oversized sweater and white sneakers.


Recently, the style has been making a comeback on social media. Model Carla Dennis wore it for a lunch date recently and shared the look on Instagram. Edgy celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin have been living their best lives in this comfy clothing piece for a while now. Here’s a quick guide to making cycling shorts your fashionable best.

It’s obvious that cycling shorts were created with the intention of working out in. But now that they have multiple uses, you can double the drama and get a co-ord top and bottom set. If you want to go all out, try new prints and loud colours.

To make the look dressier, add sexy heels and a purse. Wearing a white tee under your denim jacket will make this look cooler. Go for chunky boots.

With T-shirts/hoodies

The ultimate cool-girl loungewear option is a basic oversized T-shirt or a drop shoulder tee. Tie them up or tuck them in— this look is comfy, cool and versatile. To complete your look, wear a fanny pack around your waist or across your shoulder. Choose sneakers for the feet.

With a blazer

If you’re looking to dress up chic, all you need to do is pair your cycling shorts with an oversized blazer. You can opt for a T-shirt tucked underneath. Pick a shirt for a more polished look. Look like a boss babe by wearing a pair of heels with this look. If you want to accentuate your waist, add a belt to the blazer.
