Ditch it or Dig it? Biker Shorts

Made iconic by Princess Diana in the 90’s, the classic sport-come streetwear fad can now be seen on everyone from the Kardashian’s to the Hadid’s but is by no means just a style reserved for celebrities. Biker shorts have no doubt been spamming your Instagram feed on the profiles of countless style bloggers and trendsetters.

A cool girl summer staple and a tomboy alternative for girlish skirts and sundresses, biker shorts are versatile and can worn with statement sneaks or high heels for extreme impact. Seen paired with graphic tee’s and your go-to blazer or oversized shirts and longer blouses, the trend is adaptable to fit any fashion girl’s closet.

 

Making a comeback as Kim Kardashian debuted the look following the Yeezy Season 6 collection last year, this trend later trickled down onto the runway of many major SS’18 shows with the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Off-White, Dion Lee, Alexander Wang and Saint Laurent. 

 

 

This retro revived craze can now be copped and shopped for a heavy price tag from you’re favourites such as MISBHV, Heron Preston, KITH and I AM GIA, or bought on a budget from your oh so reliable high street faves Forever 21, H&M and Topshop.

With the rise of the athleisure way as everyday attire and the continuous use of the catchphrase “comfort is key”, we present to you: biker shorts. So, we wanna know – dig it or ditch it?
