The formula is simple: bike shorts or leggings, an oversized crewneck sweatshirt and biker shorts, chunky trainers, and the secret weapon that ties it all together — a great pair of heavyweight scrunchy socks.
The Royal Roots of the Athleisure Look
The look has royal roots. Princess Diana was one of the first to make the Princess Diana bike shorts outfit a street style moment — stepping out in the early 90s in exactly this combination outside her gym, on London streets, and beyond. If you've ever searched "90s Princess Diana athleisure" or "Princess Diana gym style," you already know the vibe. Decades later, the Diana gym style is having a full revival, and the heavyweight scrunchy sock is leading the charge.

Why Slouch Socks Are the Star of the Athleisure Look
Slouch socks aren't just functional. They're a style statement. Whether you call them slouch socks, scrunch crew socks, or thick slouchy white socks, scrunched down over high-top trainers or peeking out from chunky sneakers, they add texture, volume, and a throwback 90s athleisure revival energy that feels completely fresh right now.
The key is the scrunch. Let them pool naturally at the ankle — don't pull them up tight. That relaxed, lived-in look is exactly the point.
Our ULTIMATE Cotton Slouch Socks are made for this. Thick, plush, and substantial enough to hold their shape all day — the heavyweight scrunchy socks that serious slouch sock fans have been looking for. White for a clean, classic Princess Diana socks look. Or go tonal with black bike shorts and black socks for a sleeker take.

How to Build the Princess Diana Athleisure Look
The Classic White:
White bike shorts + white oversized sweatshirt + white heavyweight slouch socks + chunky white trainers. Monochrome, minimal, and incredibly clean. Add sunglasses and you're done — pure Princess Diana bike shorts outfit energy.

The Contrast:
Black bike shorts + white or cream sweatshirt + white scrunch crew socks. The contrast between the dark shorts and the white socks draws the eye down and makes the socks the focal point — exactly where you want it.
The Colour Pop:
Black bike shorts + a bold coloured sweatshirt (dusty pink, burgundy, cobalt) + white plush slouch socks. The socks ground the look and keep it from feeling too loud. Very Diana gym style, very now.

The London Street Style Effect
There's something about wearing this look on a real city street — cobblestones underfoot, a red bus in the background — that makes it feel like a fashion moment rather than a gym outfit. That's the magic of the 90s athleisure revival done right. It belongs everywhere.
The heavyweight scrunchy sock is what makes it street-ready. It's the detail that says: this was intentional. No wonder searches for "oversized crewneck sweatshirt and biker shorts" are surging — the whole look is having a serious cultural moment.
