Cyclists

For a long time, cycling shorts were reserved for sports classes and the famous televised bodygym sessions of the 90s. Although popularized by TV icons, it wasn't until the famous Kim Kardashian dusted off the cycling shorts that they really became a hit. Nowadays, cycling shorts can be worn casually, chicly or bohemianly, in a wide range of looks and outfits.

How to wear cycling shorts to suit your body type?

Women's cycling shorts can be worn for any body type, as long as you accessorize them well and match them with the rest of your outfit.

For A-shaped women, we recommend matte, plain, dark-colored cycling shorts. With this type of silhouette, cycling shorts can be paired with openwork sweaters, ruffled sweaters, low-cut sweaters and gathered sweaters. Choose voluminous, colorful, openwork pieces, drawstring tops and printed tops to balance the overall harmony of your look.

For V-shaped morphologies, we recommend flashy cycling shorts in pop colors, or satin cycling shorts that will draw the eye to your lower body. With this type of silhouette, when wearing women's cycling shorts, opt for flowing tops in satin or knit, without shoulder pads or high collars.

For I-shaped morphologies, it's best to wear long cycling shorts, cycling combishorts and graphic cycling shorts for women, with psychedelic, marbled or tropical prints..

For O-shaped morphologies, plain cycling shorts are best suited to this type of silhouette, worn with fluid, airy, lightweight tops such as oversized cotton shirts, knit overshirts..

For figure 8s, all cycling shorts are suitable, but to emphasize your waistline with this type of silhouette, opt for crop tops.
