Just bought THESE leather shorts this week, and I can't decide whether I love or hate them? I love them simply because they are a lovely toffee color and extremely supple and soft. Even though they are faux leather, they feel like they are well-made and I love the cuffs at the bottom.
However.....they are just a teensy high-waisted, and I can't decide whether it's flattering, or a la Jessica Simpson in her infamous high waisted "mom" jeans...
Now I do love me some Jessy Simps, but not loving this look so much. And also, they are LEATHER shorts, do I look like I'm trying to be a biker chick or a rock star? This could end up very bad.
So I decided to come up with my own interpretation of how to wear leather shorts best....
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9
I think it's important to pair edgier pieces (i.e. leather shorts) with feminine and girly pieces (i.e. blousy tops). I thought these tops would fit the bill, and then added simple flats to complete the look.
And throw on a boyfriend blazer if it's chilly at night!
What do you think??

Also, here are some of my favorite fashionistas modeling their own leather looks :)

I am obsessed with my pair of leather shorts- they are surprisingly versatile. I love them paired with a feminine blouse. xx
ReplyDeleteI think you most definitely have the right idea here. You'll wear 'em perfectly!

I am LOVING these leather shorts!! and all 3 tops and flats you picked out for them!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
I love this post! Loving the outfits you put together. I have a pair of black leather shorts, and I just bought a pair of brown leather shorts that are really similar to the ones you just bought (got mine at Topshop). I keep going back and forth about how to wear both pairs! This is just the inspiration I needed. Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteI think when paired with the right shirt these shorts would make a great outfit!

Ok, I have loved leather shorts since early last fall when I started seeing people wear them. I ordered the pair from Topshop that you posted, but I haven't worn them yet. It is warm enough here, but I feel like my legs are too pasty pale. I love all of the outfits with them that you posted. I'm your newest follower!

you could definitely pull it off! love those!
ReplyDeleteI like the third outfit that you posted from the celebrities (sorry I don't know who it is...I feel like maybe I should?). And of the shorts you picked, I think the ones on the left are my favorites...
ReplyDeleteI love leather shorts - especially with a blazer. Olivia wears them so well! :)
ReplyDeleteI think when done right, this is a great look!! Love it with platforms!
ReplyDeleteI think Jessica Simpson will be forever haunted by that picture... Regardless, I am generally a fan of higher waists...I think they are great and create a more flattering line for women, just a bit "cleaner". Love your spring outfits!! So happy I found your blog :) I hope you had a wonderful weekend and have a great week!!

I'm not really a shorts gal, but they look great on so many others...so, no to the leather ones, as of yet! :)
