Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner and so many more celebs have shown us how to style biker shorts. However, the ultimate style star who put biker shorts on the map was Princess Diana in the ’90s, who would rock the trend paired with oversized sweatshirts like the ultimate comfort queen she was.
Biker shorts make for great bottoms for both your workouts and errand runs, which Hailey demonstrates in the photo above. The model rocks a paid of Nike’s Leg-A-See shorts with swoosh sneakers from the same athletic brand to go on a smoothie run in Los Angeles.Inspired by your favorite celebs, we have biker shorts for women to take from the gym to the streets!

1. BALEAF High-Waist Biker Short
These fitness bottoms have the classic biker short look, with one big cherry on top: side pockets for your phone and wallet! This makes them both comfortable and efficient. No longer will you have to use your belongings as weights as you step out for a run. These shorts even come equipped with an internal waistband pocket for more important items, like a credit card. Other benefits include the shorts’ moisture-wicking fabric (bye-bye sweaty workout bottoms), seams to ensure no chafing mid-workout, and a gusseted crotch that allows more movement in the legs. Did we mention these shorts are NOT see-through?
