Cycling may be in the name but cycling shorts are no longer just for use on the bike (or to be hidden under dresses). The summer equivalent of joggers, cycling shorts are the ideal base for any casual look and can be easily dressed up with a simple change of top, so it’s time to show them off…
LESET
The pastel lavender colour of this ribbed Leset pair just screams summer – add the matching top for the perfect comfy co-ord.
NAGNATA
The merino wool and Tencel in these Nagnata shorts make them moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating but they’re too good to just wear for the gym.
LES GIRLS LES BOYS
Les Girls Les Boys is known for its quality basics and these soft stretch cotton jersey shorts are no different. Keep it neutral in ivory or standout with the neon green pair.
EVERLANE
These shorts are basically the cut-off version of Everlane’s bestselling leggings, meaning they can perform for a workout and look good when you’re out and about in town.
