Trend Alert: Leather Shorts

Submitted by Mimi on Friday, 21 August 200914 Comments

Whether you are dancing the night away at a night club or lunching at a high society cafe, leather shorts let you channel your inner bad girl without sacrificing your good manners.
The leather short is a new all season addition that captures cool spirit and a style rebellion at its best.

Something tells me faux leather shorts will be a key piece in my fall wardrobe this year, because of its versatility and edginess. How will I wear the shorts? Well , here are some ways:

1. Leather shorts are a statement on their own so I will keep the rest of my outfit simple and polished. For example: Plain white t, cardigan, leather shorts and thigh high boots, minimal accessories.

2. Leather shorts look great with black tights or sheer black hose.

3. Leather shorts look fab with a fitted, sharp tuxedo style jacket or a blazer, which I have plenty of.

4.I will avoid anything too sexy or provocative. I think the key with leather shorts is too look pulled together.

5. A knockout heel such as an oxford or a bootie is a Must Have!

How will you be wearing your leather shorts this fall?

Hmm… I’m not entirely sold on this one yet… Although, I quite like your suggestions, and can totally picture you looking fab sporting all of them…

I also really like the Forever 21 version that’s in your collage… I can see myself wearing those, and yeah, probably also, keeping everything else to a minimum, since leather shorts are a statement on there own. Love the idea of wearing thigh-high-boots with them

It looks super cute on those models. If I was 10 yrs younger I would give it a try.

Hi Mimi,

I don’t think I will be trying this one out this year. The models look great but for a new mom, not sure it is so appropriate.
Ah oui, la vie change!

xo,

Couldn’t agree more! I’ll be wearing my leathershorts, they’ll be worn out at the end of the season.

Those from Chloe look so fantastic.
