Tread-Setter


Ok ladies, don't we all love to be the first to try a new style and watch everyone else follow along? Why not start with wearing bike shorts? Yes, bike shorts, and this time you wont be wearing them to ride down the park.

Bike shorts have been in and out in the fashion scene for a while now, so this is a great time to bring them back out and pair them with some of the new trends of the season. To me, I prefer to use them as a layering piece. They are such a quick way to transform any outfit into a more edgier look. Here are a few ways you can use your bike shorts.

Wear them under your favorite jean shorts. This will add a little edge as they subtly sneak out. Distressed jeans are a plus when pairing them together and also wearing boots will top off the look.

Layer a long tunic over them. This look is a great way to transition out of the common long leggings, especially when you're trying to fight the summer heat. These shorter leggings will show off your legs and make them appear much sleeker too. Try this look with lots of accessories to personalize the outfit.

Wear them under a dress. Now that the bike shorts are back, they have upgraded them a bit by making them with special textures. A pair of sheer lace bike shorts will go well under a short summer dress. Pair this outfit with some cute flats for a look that will last from day to night.
