Over the last few summers, biker shorts became the borrowed-from-the-'90s style every celebrity and fashion influencer seemed to be wearing. And one uniform, in particular, seemed to be the go-to way to pull off the spandex-y bottoms: the blazer and biker shorts combo. As early as 2017, Bella Hadid was seen kicking off the outfit trend during Paris Fashion Week (via Grazia), while her sister Gigi followed suit a couple of years later when she wore a white blazer with black biker shorts. And the Hadids aren't the only ones — Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, and other style icons have embraced the ensemble.
However, like any trend that becomes ubiquitous, the blazer/biker shorts look has started to feel dated, especially as a slew of fresh new trends have popped up. The Princess Diana-esque athleisure shorts no longer seem to fit in among the new crowd of sheer clothes, straightforward tailoring, and feminine details like flowers and heart motifs. Plus, biker shorts can be surprisingly fussy, sometimes riding up and almost always being too tight to tuck tops into.
