Choosing the perfect biker shorts
To ensure that your biker shorts are your summer go-to, consider key features such as features, cuts and materials when purchasing, based on your outfit, the occasion and your preferences:
Seamless cuts for fitted dresses
Planning to wear a form-fitting summer dress or skirt? Opt for seamless biker shorts. Styles with flat hems and seams leave no visible lines, while soft nude tones remain invisible under sheer fabrics. Choose ultra-soft, flexible TENCEL™ options that mould to your body.
Short biker shorts under mini skirts
For mini skirts or dirndls, go for shorter styles. These offer maximum protection, letting you move freely and bend without worry. Opaque nude or black styles blend seamlessly and feel like an extension of your skin.
Breathable materials for hot summer days
Think biker shorts are too warm for summer? Think again. CALIDA’s carefully selected materials are lightweight and moisture wicking, keeping you cool and dry even on the hottest days.
Biker shorts made of organic cotton, TENCEL™ or breathable blends with elastane and premium microfibre are particularly comfortable. These thin materials prevent overheating, wick away sweat and move with you – whether you’re exploring the city, cycling or hitting the gym.
Why you’ll love them
From fitted dresses to short skirts or as part of a laid-back oversized look, comfortable biker shorts protect against chafing on a hot summer day while also ensuring a confident, polished appearance, perfect for any occasion.
