5 Ways to Wear Maternity Bike Shorts

Maternity bike shorts look simple, but they might be the most versatile piece in your pregnancy wardrobe. Here are five easy ways to wear them.

1. For prenatal workouts

Whether it is prenatal yoga, a walk or a gentle class, bike shorts give you freedom of movement without fabric bunching around your ankles. A wide, soft waistband keeps them in place over your bump while you move. Always check with your healthcare provider about what kind of exercise is right for you.

2. On warm days

When it is too warm for full-length leggings, bike shorts paired with a loose tee or a tank top are an easy, comfortable outfit for errands, school runs or a day at home.

3. Under dresses and skirts

Wearing bike shorts under a dress or skirt helps prevent chafing between the thighs and lets you sit, bend and walk without thinking about it. A seamless pair stays smooth under thin fabrics.

4. For lounging at home

Some days, comfort is the only goal. Bike shorts with an oversized sweatshirt are the kind of outfit you can rest, nap and work from the couch in.

5. After baby arrives

Stretchy, seamless bike shorts are easy to pull on in the postpartum months, when you want something soft and simple while your body finds its new normal.
