This season is all about the 90's and biker or bicycle shorts are a key essential piece for the trend.
There are many different types to suit your style and needs from activewear to comfy cotton and light anti-chafing undies that are perfect with light Summer dresses.
We've put together 8 different ways to style this season's essential bicycle shorts.
1. Blazer
This is a great edgy look that's smart/casual. Keep your blazer open with a matching crop top or bandeau, or fasten your blazer and wear it with a waist belt. You can dress this style up by adding a pair of heels or sandals or play it down with chunky trainers or boots with sporty style socks.
We recommend wearing our slick compression biker shorts by BasBlack, available from size UK 8 up to UK 16.
