The stretchy sports shorts, athletic apparel has transitioned and become a wardrobe basic. From what was perceived as a transient Kardashian-inspired trend that was adapted by runway designers and executed more brilliantly by street style mafia. A versatile garment that is also a tricky trend to master, it can look cool sporty chic with sneakers and transform into elegant sophisticated one with a sharp blazer, shirt and heels. After scouring some of Instagram's most stylish feeds from Bollywood, we zeroed in on Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday, Bhumi Pednekar and Sonam Kapoor Ahuja for some inspirations.

A perfect style to flaunt the toned calves and thighs, the challenge of cycling shorts as the newest wrinkle to flaunt is to nail the silhouette right. A spring trend that's amassed a plethora of hues to flaunt, here is a closer look at how our fashionistas aced it.
