The fashion world is one very funny place and it’s not up for arguments. First the biker shorts came and honestly I wasn’t feeling it because firstly, I doubt my thick thighs will get away with them especially on the streets of Lagos but secondly and most importantly, I couldn’t bring myself to spend anymore on tights. Thankfully, the fashion world took the shorts up to level 10.
WHAT I’M WEARING
Blazer – RefinedLabels {IG}
Denim Short – DIY
Shoes – Daltimore
Bag – Thrifted
YOUR PRIME BEGINS WHEN YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT LOOKING AFTER YOURSELF.
Yes, denim cycling shorts are the latest iteration of the polarizing trend to emerge, and admittedly, I wasn’t ready for them initially but after thrifting these mom jeans and absolutely hated them, then stumbling across this @sylviemus photo, the trend became very very appealing to me because it was a way of getting my money’s worth out of something I already condemned.
I decided to pair this with an oversized blazer for a laid back look. Like most of the other major 2019 trends on board, I’m pointing fingers at the ’90s for being the main inspiration here. Whatever their origin, I’m totally here for it!! It’s also amazing that unlike the biker shorts, you don’t need to spend a dime on it.
Ps :
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to visit my new blog, I really appreciate YOU, do keep coming back. I’d absolutely love to hear your thoughts on this look and how I styled it, so don’t forget to leave me a comment below.
Love always…
In love with the look! But I’ve never really been able to pull of denim shorts. Sigh!

I’m sure you can pull this one off!!! You can rip the jeans to a length you’re comfortable with.

I’ve been wanting to try out the ‘jiker’ shorts trend, even tried thrifting a pair but they were in really large sizes. I might have to diy mine as well. This look is super cool.
