Now whether or not they’re succeeding depends on whether or not you think skin-tight shorts — that, depending on your leg length, go to mid-thigh or just above the knees — is flattering. Since they’re usually worn by people on actually bicycles, the answer seems obvious. But some stars are determined to make them a thing.

Does a little leather go a long way? Sure. But what about a lot of leather? Baldwin takes mix-and-match sets to a whole new luxe level with this leather midcut curve-huggers and white sports bra, though wouldn't a lycra or luon be better for this hot weather we've all been having? (Though making winter style hot IS her specialty.)

Kim Kardashian
Blame Kim. She's the one who started this biker shorts business back in 2016 — and isn't quitting it just yet. Because thigh-high boots that go up to there with biker shorts that go down to there with a crop top and puffy coat isn't bananas at ALL.

And Teyana brings it back down with her neon top (complete with flames!) and fanny pack. Shudder.

This is what Kourtney wears when she travels. Sure, it works, and the sneakers complete it — keeping it casual but not mistaking the airport for the gym casual.

We can't tell if these are shorts or a skirt; whatever the case, RiRi makes it work.
