What are biker shorts?

Biker shorts, also called bike shorts or cycling shorts, are skin-tight yet stretchy shorts designed for aerodynamic activities like bicycling. Biker shorts help conform to the body to prevent chafing and stay in place during exercises. While originally created to wear for workouts and sports, biker shorts are trendy for casual wear with their comfortable fit.

Do you wear underwear with bike shorts?

Wearing panties under biker shorts, or leggings for that matter, is largely a matter of personal preference. Moisture-wicking panties can help you feel cool and dry but going commando can be more comfortable too. Look out for PINK shorts with built-in liners for coverage that prevents chafing.

How should biker shorts fit?

Bike shorts should hug the body without feeling too tight. The snug fit is meant to give support without restricting movement. If you notice rolling or pinching around the waist, crotch, or thighs, consider sizing up.

PINK Athletic Shorts: Biker Shorts and Running Shorts

Simply put, athletic shorts are a staple in fashion and fitness wardrobes as a comfortable and easy-going base layer. Our athletic shorts collection includes a variety of cute styles, inseams, and colors. We offer high-waisted and seamless biker shorts made with buttery smooth and sweat-wicking fabric for a comfy yet secure squat-proof design. Our running shorts typically have a loose fit with quick-drying fabrics and occasional built-in panties, and PINK micro shorts have super short lengths for a fun, flirty look. Whichever style you prefer, choose between different lengths, like 3-inch and 6-inch inseams, plus colors like black, pink, blue, and green that are perfect for workouts and leisure.

Different Types of Shorts for Every Occasion

Biker Shorts

Bike shorts have a snug and comfortable fit, which is great for dynamic activities like cycling, running, and stretching. The stretchy materials flex with you for unrestricted movement while creating a breathable layer that helps prevent chafing in your thighs.

Biker shorts belong to many style aesthetics. Wear biker shorts with a matching sports bra top for a sporty, that girl look. Wear them with an oversized sweatshirt for an easy-going, beachy vibe. The truth is biker shorts are an understated piece which means you can even wear bold and luxe tops with biker shorts for a glam outfit at festivals and concerts.

Running Shorts

Running shorts is a broad term but usually means shorts made from lightweight fabrics with major breathability. They typically have a short and loose fit, which gives you the ability to move freely and helps prevent chafing by letting air circulate. Many running shorts have moisture-wicking technology so that sweat dries quickly, and some designs include pockets to hold the essentials like your keys or phone while on the go.

Casual Shorts & Knits

Nothing against a pair of denim shorts—in fact, we love PINK denim and Levi’s , but sometimes a pair of loose-fit knit shorts just makes more sense. These shorts are a comfortable option for relaxing at home, running errands, and quick workouts. They prioritize a soft feel, usually through thicker fabrics that feel cozy. They also might have an adjustable waistband for a custom fit.

About the Micro Shorts Trend

It's only natural that while jorts and maxi skirts are taking off so are the opposite: itty-bitty micro shorts. These ultra-short shorts are a fun and flirty way to stay cool and showcase your legs. Choose between micro biker shorts with a 3" inseam or loose-fit cotton shorts for comfort. Style micro shorts with an oversized tee or a sporty crop top for a chic, yet effortless look.

How to Wash Biker Shorts

PINK shorts are made to be machine washed. Here are a few tips to help maintain a pair of athletic shorts:

Use cold water: Not only is cold water energy-efficient, but it may also help prevent shrinking, fading, and wrinkling.
Skip fabric softener: Softeners may leave behind a coating that limits moisture wicking technology.
Avoid heat when drying: Heat can break down fabrics, so aim to air dry gym shorts, or use a low heat setting in the dryer.
