Some of you may already be aware of this recent trend, but for those who are not, bike shorts are in. You know, the long, legging shorts that your dad wears for his bike races? Well, soon you'll be wearing them to class, the grocery store and maybe even date night (OK, that's a little far, but you get the point).
You might be thinking, "who in their right mind would wear these as a fashion statement?" Kim Kardashian, that's who. History repeats itself, and we all know that if Kim starts wearing something, no matter how much backlash there is at first, Kathy always ends up wearing the same thing a few months later when she's picking up the boys from soccer practice.
They're basically PJs.
Who wouldn't be in favor of a trend that is essentially socially acceptable pajamas? Comfort is always my number one requirement, and these babies are that and so much more. I'm wearing a pair right now I could either go out with friends or stay home and take a nap and these shorts would be a perfect fit for both.
Leggings are already socially acceptable (for the most part), the only difference is that these are a little shorter. I am an avid legging wearer, so I always mourn a little when summer comes around and it's too hot for my favorite pair of pants.
Well, those days are over my friend, bike shorts are essentially summer's version of our beloved stretchy bottoms.
OK, back to Kim K.
North Korea has Mr. Jong-un and we have Ms. Kardashian. Both essentially tell us how we should be living our lives, our version is just a little more stylish. Either way, you can't deny that Kim has a bit of influence over our fashion and beauty choices. Remember when everyone thought contouring was crazy? Now most of us can't live without it!
You may be against them now, but sooner or later she'll break you down. Come back to me in a couple of months and we can talk, but all I'll say is I told you so!
