The pandemic really turned the world we knew upside down but fashion seems to stay a constant, yes trends evolved from our changing lifestyles but you could always rely on your outfit to get ya through a tough day! This week I chose to compare biker shorts and tennis skirts, both in the athleisure department and both every popular items. I think they offer a fun way to switch up an outfit and can make a very cute casual look. Both have their pros and cons so let’s compare!
First up we got the classic biker short, these have been around for quite some time. Originally designed to make riding a bike more comfortable in the early 19th century (hence the name), these form-fitting bottoms were repurposed in the ’80s and ’90s as a fashion statement, and surprisingly came back around in 2017 as an extension of the athleisure trend and then now again in 2021. Since they weren’t originally designed for fashion they definitely needed some upgrades into the biker shorts we see today. Biker shorts are everywhere these past pandemic years and you can get a pair in practically any color, fabric or pattern. I certainly own a few pairs and I do enjoy wearing them. My personal con for these is that sometimes the sem on the thigh can be too tight for my liking and I know other women feel the same, but they do offer great coverage if showing your thighs isn’t for you. Overall super cute, super stylish, not my personal favorite clothing item, 7/10.
Now let’s talk about tennis skirts.
