Helping women love what they wear on a budget

6 Ways to Wear Biker Shorts

July 12, 2021 by Katie Haller

I don’t know about you but I got pretty excited when I saw that biker shorts were back in style.  As a kid in the early 90’s I loved wearing biker shorts.  I had little matching sets with matching skirts.  They were the best!

Last summer I decided to buy a pair of biker shorts after seeing a lot of people wearing them on Instagram.  I bought this pair (HERE) on Amazon.  They are compression shorts which are amazing, especially if you are postpartum like I was last summer, and well I still feel postpartum 😂.  I love the shorts, but I had a little problem.  I wasn’t sure how to wear them.  When I first got them I was only wearing them with an athletic shirt and sports bra to work out in.  After doing a little Pinterest research and playing around with the clothes in my closet I came up with some outfit ideas for how to wear biker shorts.

If you are stumped on how to wear biker shorts like I was, here are 6 ways to wear a pair of biker shorts.

    It took me some time to warm up to wearing biker shorts, but now I wear them all the time! I'll have to check out these that you have from Amazon. I personally love styling my biker shorts with an oversized pullover.

Does anyone else still have a gingham button-down shirt still hanging in their closet? 👕 I still love this style! The easiest way to update this look is to switch out your jeans for a different silhouette.

What I wore this week as a 40-year old mom of 2! What I wore this week as a 40-year old mom of 2! 

Happy Mother’s Day!! 💕 Today I am truly embracing this day and remembering how much I always wanted to be a mom! 

I recently came across a journal entry I wrote 10 years ago on Mother’s Day—right after my second miscarriage. I wrote that I was ready to be a mom, but I was so scared and worried about our future. I didn’t know when and if it would actually happen. 

One month later, I was pregnant with my son.

And now here I am, ten years later—tired, busy, deeply grateful, and fully embracing this season I once wanted so so bad! 

To every mom today—in the waiting, in the chaos, or missing the days that flew by—I see you. We are all in this together! 💕

And if you are looking for some mom outfit inspiration then comment OUTFITS and I will send you the shopping links to all my daily outfits from the week!! 🛍️
