Shoppers have been going “crazy” over a pair of figure-hugging shorts that are made from recycled fibres.

The $29 item was recently released by Glassons as part of its “active collection” which included a mix of crops, leggings and shorts suitable for wearing during a workout and then wear out after for brunch.

The super affordable bike shorts have been the standout item from the range, with a Glassons spokesperson telling news.com.au Australian stores would restock the popular item in November after selling out nationwide.

“Our customers loved the Glassons Active Collection, with the majority of the ‘Recycled Seamless Styles’ already sold out,” the spokesperson said.

“The Glassons customers went crazy for the seamless bike shorts, with some colourways selling out within 30 minutes.

“Due to customer demand, we will be bringing back selected Glassons Active styles at the end of November for anyone who missed out.”

Those who were lucky enough to snag a pair of the cute summer-suitable shorts have been littering social media feeds with snaps wearing them.

As well as being “super comfy” and “effortlessly chic” according to fans, the entire range is made using a variety of sustainably sourced or recycled materials.

This move is part of Glassons’ target to be 50 per cent fully sustainable by the end of 2021.

The same brand is also well renowned for selling affordable bikini sets for just $35.

Its summer 20/21 collection recently dropped in stores with a turquoise, brown and white swirl print design proving very popular, selling out in 24 hours.

One Melbourne shopper shared a series of snaps wearing the crisscross bikini with a white shirt, declaring: “Never taking this bikini off.”

Reaction to the budget-friendly swimwear has been huge, with many labelling the $35 deal a “steal”.

“Wow, I love the print,” one said, as another said: “The suit is so cute.”
