13 Comfortable Biker Shorts That Won’t Give You a Muffin Top

If you're familiar with athleisure, or if you partake in the trend yourself, you know about the biker short craze. People are wearing them everywhere from Target to the gym and from the coffee shop to the trails. Biker shorts are skin-tight, stretchy shorts designed for movement, comfort and of course, biking! Typically made of sweat-wicking and breathable material, these shorts are ideal for all things active.

Most people wear them with a clean pair of white sneakers and either a tank top, crewneck tee or zip-up sweatshirt, but they can be worn with almost any top. You can even wear them under a skirt for coverage and extra shaping! The mid-thigh length that defines biker shorts adds to the versatility. It's no wonder everybody loves these shorts!

Well, almost everybody...those who don't are usually bothered by the fit, not the style.

Read on for our 13 biker short picks that will hide a muffin top, not create one.
