Aspects of athleisure have been incorporated into a multitude of fashion trends in recent years from joggers to sneakers to vibrantly branded T-shirts. However, a new trend, bicycle shorts, aligns itself in a new category, separate from athleisure: sportswear.

These shorts combine the compression capability of leggings and tights with the flattering length of shorts. They have been shown off either dressed down with athleisure or dressed up with blazers and sweaters by models and celebrities such as Hailey Baldwin, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid. By setting itself apart from previous trends, bicycle shorts have made a noticeable impact on today’s fashion.  

Bicycle shorts start at $8 online at Pretty Little Thing.
