Did I ever think I’ve be rocking biker shorts and fanny packs at the ripe age of 40? NOPE. But here we are, and I’m not mad about it. I am late to the biker short party. Here is my journey: It took me a hot second. I remember seeing Kim Kardashian wear them and thinking they were absurd. Then I warmed up to them but concluded they only looked good on girls with curves, and definitely were ONLY meant for the 25 and under club. But here I am, a year later 40, lanky and LOVING them. My final conclusion, these look super cute on any age and any shape. And lets not even talk about the comfort factor. Off the charts. So I bought three pairs to see if I could actually wear these things in REAL life. Answer: YES.

(For the sizing record: I bought size small in all these shorts which is true to size. The black ones are the 11 inch length and the other two are 7 inch which seems to be more “standard”. I’m 5’10 so take that into consideration for the long ones. I linked 7 inch black ones for this reason. )
