I cycle daily and was thinking to update my summer wardrobe with some basic cotton-based (just not too sporty looking) bicycle shorts which I can style with blouses/shirts/longer t-shirts. Looking to wear them for work too so don’t want to get some bad quality/see -through ones. Thanks!

    Have you tried the GAP’s athletic “sister brand” Athleta? It’s hit or miss and I find they’re quality is in between GAP and Lululemon. A few of their pants I can wear to work. It’s a bit pricey but they have regular sales that I take advantage of and have been happy with most of the things I purchased there.

      No! I buy GAP often and never any of damn tracking engines offered me Athlete. I just checked and I can actually order it, so that great! I don’t mind paying a bit more when I know it’s good. That being said, lululemon I still haven’t tried out due to the price. Would you recommend them? Are they that good?

        I still have Lululemon clothes I bought a decade ago and they still look good.

        I find their “align” biker shorts pretty flattering because they don’t squeeze at the openings, but I get a longer length (6 inch) because I found the shorter ones would ride up. They’re also a more breathable (thinner but not see-through) fabric that’s nicer for summer.
