The cycling shorts have faded in and out of fashion since the 80's, originally used as part of exercise clothing they were then adopted by the likes of Mr Motivator who made them popular by sporting them on early morning TV shows.
This soon caught on and before you knew it stars like Olivia Newton-John were prancing around in music videos in lycra cycling shorts!
Since then the most renowned fashionista has been seen in a pair .. Alexa!
Oh beautiful Alexa, they may be lace but that doesnt mean they are any less of a pair of cycling shorts!

Ive had my cycling shorts for about a month now but Ive been waiting for the first day of spring to blog about them - like a celebratory blog for the new season!
This is the first outfit I threw together but you can do SO much more with them, since Ive gone for a more playful pair rather than black lace I think you can put them with almost any garment and colour to get 'I just threw this on' look.
Demin hotpants and cycling shorts go together like bread and butter :-).
Tip - you can make your own black cycling shorts by cutting some old thick tights!
I love cycling shorts, perfect for short dresses and Silk shirts. Love yours, gonna get to H&M to hunt a new pair down :) Harriet x
