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
I think you most definitely have the right idea here. You'll wear 'em perfectly!
Happy weekend!
I am LOVING these leather shorts!! and all 3 tops and flats you picked out for them!!
Happy 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! :)
I 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!
I 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...
I love leather shorts - especially with a blazer. Olivia wears them so well! :)
I think when done right, this is a great look!! Love it with platforms!
I 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! :)
