Bicycle shorts (aka cycling shorts, chamois, knicks, spats, or thigh cling shorts) are a classic staple in Americans’ wardrobes. Bike shorts are short, skin-tight legwear designed to improve comfort and efficiency while riding one’s bike. They are specifically designed to reduce wind resistance and increasing aerodynamic efficiency.
Now, these kinds of shorts are the norm, especially among Hollywood’s biggest stars, such as Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, as well as sisters Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid. Here, Kim Kardashian West is seen rocking bicycle shorts, a hoodie, a pair of nude heels, and a Gucci jacket.
Bicycle shorts are perfect for running errands, as other Hollywood stars will show you. But they’re also appropriate for many other occasions. For example, they are great for entertaining the crowd or hanging out with friends on the streets of Los Angeles. There’s all kinds of ways to wear cycling shorts, as you’ll see by scrolling through the gallery.
