Still Wearing Biker Shorts? These 5 Outfits Are Just as Casual and So Much More Polished

I know I will get some heat for this from you all ladies, but honestly as grown women, I am too embarrassed to admit we all have succumbed to trying to look like teenagers. Ofcourse we want to look younger, but that does not mean we need to wear what does not look flattering at all on us. 

I walked into Aritzia the other day, and saw a women wearing really short biker shorts that honestly looked like underwear from the back. Anyways, I know you don’t want to wear them, but you are looking for some comfortable shorts options for summer weather. 

I have a whole summer athleisure essentials for you that will keep you comfortable and stylish all summer. In this post, let’s chat about what to wear instead of biker shorts. 

No judgement here, because I also wore it. This is me in 2019 rocking biker shorts. If I could fix my outfit and elevate it, you could too my friend. 

What To Wear Instead of Biker Shorts

Option #1

Long Linen Shorts + Top + Jacket + Sneakers

You cannot tell me this isn’t comfortable, I have worn this outfit and gone for walks and coffee breaks. This is comfortable but it feels like you have made an effort to get dressed. 

And when you are sitting and bending down, the shorts are not going to feel like a wardrobe malfunction. This is comfortable, casual and still ends up looking polished. Try it and let me know what you think. 

Option #2

Sweat Shorts + Tee + Bomber Jacket + Sneakers

Sweat shorts are perfect alternative to biker shorts. They are still leisurely and comfortable to wear but they don’t look like underwear. Also these are wide leg style so you can effortlessly pair them with a tee and sneakers to create that comfortable and chic athleisure look. 

Pairing with a bomber jacket helps balance the proportion and create an athletic look that’s modern and elevated. The cool girl style that looks more age appropriate. Well, at least that’s how I think of them. 

This is an awesome running errands look which can be put together in minutes and you look nice in them

Option #3

Track Shorts + Rugby Shirt + Sneakers

Want to feel completely comfortable and casual, try this outfit with track shorts. These are perfect for gym and also look great with rugby or polo shirts. This outfit screams athleisure but looks amazing. The track shorts are still wide legged, so you have that effortless look. And the rugby shirt balances the proportion. 

You can put together this outfit in minutes and add a baseball cap to head to grocery store or go get some coffee without feeling like your private parts are a bit exposed through the biker shorts.

Option #4

Skorts + Tank Top + Cropped Jacket + Sneakers

Skorts is such a chic alternative to biker shorts where it’s functional, comfortable and looks stylish too. Your outfit easily looks athletic and perfect for older ladies like us who are not trying to show a shaped back or something. 

And the shorts underneath the skirt protects you from any wardrobe malfunction. This is another effortless look that you can put together in minutes and look really chic in. 

This outfit is sporty and chic. Skorts are an awesome summer athleisure essential that you can rock in your everyday casual look.

Option #5

Pull On Linen Shorts + Tank Top + Collared Jacket + Sneakers

This outfit screams athleisure but it looks classy because of the pull on shorts. You probably own most of everything she is wearing. Just swap the biker shorts with these linen pull on shorts. They don’t have any draw strings, so they are easy and forgiving around the waist. 

And these look so much nicer than biker shorts. You can wear them out and about without feeling embarrassed. The wide leg style keeps you comfortable and worry free too.
