I've Traded In Sweatpants For Bike Shorts, and My Favorite Aerie Pair Is 40% Off Today

I have admittedly bought tons of sweatsuit sets, but it's already getting too warm in my apartment for the head-to-toe cozy look. My next loungewear investment is definitely bike shorts. Not only is the style on-trend, but it's also incredibly comfy. I've seen stars like Emily Ratajkowski and Kim Kardashian rocking the look, so I was excited to try it out for myself.

I've tested out a few options now, but my hands-down favorite is the Aerie Real Me Wrap Bike Short ($18, originally $30). The fabric is buttery-soft and the V-shaped waistband is incredibly flattering across my stomach. They come in sizes XXS to XXL — I'm wearing a large, for reference. Besides this pretty "washed brick" shade, they are also offered in black, brown, and sage green.

I am now a devoted fan of Aerie's high-waisted bike shorts. Read on to check out all the styles the site offers, then invest in a few pairs for yourself. They're all on sale, so take advantage of the discounts.
