Do you remember when I said I couldn’t get myself to wear the bicycle shorts trend? Well, I’ve found an exception to the rule which also happens to be one of the biggest trends of summer 2019 yet; denim cycling shorts. A lot of you ask me how to wear/how to style cycling shorts, that to denim cycling shorts, and still look chic and trendy. I will admit it took me a while to warm up to the idea but once I started pulling together outfits, the ideas started to flow and I totally understood why this trend was making such a huge comeback.

Since we can all feel summer in the air, I wanted to really work with denim on denim for this look. I paired my denim biker shorts with one of my favourite t-shirts from YSL. Remember when I invested in it last year? I am still in love with it because of how versatile and timeless it is, especially come summer. I then threw over a tie-dye denim jacket to achieve the perfect denim on denim look. I love how the two light shades work together. The oversized fit of the jacket also works super well because of how fitted the shorts are (more like skin tight, hah!).

Now we all know that I still can’t resist adding in a feminine touch to all my outfits. In this case, it came with my accessories. I added in a set of pearl hair clips and some of my favourite gold heels. Although both these accessories are super feminine, they elevate the outfit, making it way trendier. My final touch was my YSL bag. I love the shape because of how classic it is but my favourite part is the old YSL logo; adds the perfect vintage touch.

It may be a while before I warm up to the cycling shorts trend in general. Till then though, I’m more than happy with the denim version! You can also pair your favourite denim cycling shorts with an oversized linen shirt, or a crop top and blazer!
