#FashionTips: Five ways to style your biker shorts and nail it

When biker shorts first broke into the fashion scene, it seemed like a crazy idea for ladies to dress in cycling shorts as a fashion piece. And even though it was met with resistance and skepticism, biker shorts are currently still trending and the style keeps getting fresher.

When it comes to dressing biker shorts, you need to be careful with how you pair your pieces. How you dress your biker shorts is what will differentiate it from the average cycling shorts to a closet staple. If you have a problem styling this piece, here are some styles you can try:

Since a biker short is small, obviously, you will need to pair it with something large on the top area to give your outfit structure. Depending on what you are going for, you can pair biker shorts with an oversized blazer of any colour and add a tank top or crop top on the inside. 

This outfit can be paired with some white rubber shoes, ankle boots or sandals, depending on the occasion you are dressing for. In place of a blazer, you can also try matching your biker shorts with a denim jacket and see it work wonders to your outfit.

With an off shoulder top

Off shoulders are already a little exposing, depending on the kind of design you are going for, you need to be wary of how much skin you are showing. Too much skin may make you look skimpily dressed instead of sexy.

Match it with an oversized shirt

As mentioned above, it is all about balancing your proportions and if you feel an off shoulder will be a little extra you can go for an oversized shirt. Ladies if you love stealing your boyfriend’s shirts, a biker short will give you a good reason to go for more shirts.
