Styling Cycle Shorts
Tuesday, September 11, 2018
Cycle shorts - love 'em or hate 'em but there's no getting away from them right now. You can't scroll through your Instagram feed without spotting a pair lately and I have a feeling they won't be going anywhere anytime soon as we are now beginning to seeing the denim versions hitting the High Street!
Whilst I'm not 100% sold on the denim cycle shorts just yet, I am partial to the cotton / Lycra version and I wanted to show a few ways I would wear them:
1. GOING OUT OUT
I have worn a pair of black cycle shorts with a basic black crop (this is the 'extreme scoop' version from PrettyLittleThing) and my slouchy black boyfriend blazer.
The gold accessories make the look night-out ready but you could easily swap the blazer for an oversized zip hoodie to create a super-casual daytime look. Add heeled ankle boots or bare-there sandals or even your kicks depending on the occasion.
2. STAYING IN
I have paired this pink pair of cycle shorts with my beloved embroidered ErdemxHM hoodie (similar here). The colours work really well together but any sweater would work.
Add some white sport socks and chunky trainers and you're good to go!
3. TRAVELLING
Last but not least, I have put the black pair together with my new favourite tee (again, from PrettyLittleThing).
I would finish this look with a pair of heeled ankle boots and an oversized denim jacket and wear it as an airport outfit to travel somewhere HOT!
I picked up both pairs of cycle shorts from eBay for less than £5 each which I am more than happy to pay for trend pieces.
I hope this inspired you in how you style your cycle shorts, or even to buy a pair if you haven't already! They are surprisingly versatile, and definitely an inexpensive wardrobe staple to refresh any look.
