ATTN: It’s Bike Short Season

When it comes to Bike Shorts Rockwear has you covered. From Quad length to booty short, prints to block colours & compression to optimum comfort! If you are anything like us… we love a look that can be taken from sweating it out at the gym to brunch with ease! We are in the era of “Activewear can be worn anywhere and everywhere” and boy oh boy are we here for it!

So… How do you go about styling a bike short for dinner with the girls? 

This is where we have brought in the expert. Our go-to fashion guru is Jade Gul, also known as @jademyriam on Instagram. 

Jade is a fashion stylist, and she knows her way around styling activewear for any occasion. 

Jades hot tips:

Warmer weather is right around the corner and I’m here to show you how you can incorporate athleisure into your everyday Spring wardrobe.  

I first began fashion styling by assisting a handful of iconic Australian-based stylists & interning at magazines & PR agencies. Over time, I’ve discovered my own personal style and I’d say it’s best described as minimal, chic and practical.  

Each year we endure the return of the bike short, here are some ways to rock your favourite bike shorts all day, everyday. Where your capsule wardrobe meets your favourite athleisure. 

Pink is having a moment. From Spring florals to a minimized baby pink, this outfit is perfect for romanticizing your trip to the Sunday Markets. I’ve styled the REFORM HIGH IMPACT SPORTS BRA and SCRUNCH BUM BIKE SHORTS FLOSS with a neutral cap, a crisp white shirt and a practical tote to carry my purchases… maybe even a bunch of fresh flowers! 

Highlights

Length: Mid-thigh length but with more coverage than booty shorts! 

Feel: These shorts feel supportive but not compressive, they have a super soft hand feel! 

Regular rise: These sit just on the belly button line!

Bonus features: If you are team scrunch bum you are in luck! 

A comfortable but elevated outfit. Nothing better than not having to worry about the button on your jeans when going for a delicious dinner with the girls. I’ve styled the SCRUNCH BUM BIKE SHORTS and ASANA MEDIUM IMPACT SPORT BRA with an oversized blazer, hair slicked back & my favourite pair of mules. This outfit is heaven-sent. 

Highlights

Length: Just above the knee! Vibing this length, especially with a mule.  

Feel: This fabric gives you support. Move over bodycon dresses! I am all about the bike short

High Rise: These sit a touch higher than regular rise. 

Bonus feature: Another scrunch bum! Love this in black, it doesn’t stand out as much as the lighter colours and is super flattering! 

I can’t help but be obsessed with pastels, warmer weather means bringing on brighter colours. I’ve styled the DREAMER ACID WASH TEE with the ELEVATE BIKE SHORTS, a mint green shoulder bag and a pair of white socks. You can wear the tee oversized or tucked up making a cropped look, either makes for a seamless look for running errands.  

Highlights

Length: Above the knee, Love the length paired with an oversized tee! 

Feel: Soft hand feel, like a second skin. 

Regular rise: These sit just on the belly button line!

Bonus feature: Pockets! Enough said. 

The key to an early morning yoga session is a comfy and practical outfit to get you there. Here I’ve styled the SCRUNCH BUM BIKE SHORTS  with the LOVECHILD PANELLED CROP thrown on a wool knit cardigan and a pair of slides. Oh, and how could I forget a tote to carry my yoga mat in. 

These are the same bike shorts as look 1 but I have mixed them up! This fabric is super soft and moisture-wicking. So great for coming into the warmer weather and Bikram yoga, if sweating it out is your thing!

But first, coffee. On those days where you’ve got to drag yourself out to grab a coffee here’s what you throw on; LOGO RIB TANK, SCRUNCH BUM BIKE SHORTS, oversized HOODIE, sunnies & a side bag. Makes for a perfect coffee run selfie! 

Highlights

Length: Above the knee.

Feel: Buttery! 

Regular rise: These sit just on the belly button line!

Bonus features: This colour! So versatile. Looks great paired back with both pastels & darker shades. 

Busy lifestyles benefit from simplifying your wardrobe! It’s amazing how buying key pieces and mixing and matching can make your wardrobe appear much larger than it is.

The bottom line is. We love a bike short. We plan on wearing them everywhere this summer. Watch us! The office, morning walks, yoga, booty day at the gym, dinner & dancing with the girls! They have a dedicated area in our wardrobe from monochrome to pop colours when we feel like spicing it up!
