Leather pants (and leggings!) are trendy wardrobe essentials—but when the temperatures rise, they’re not the most practical. Warmer weather doesn’t mean you have to forego leather looks altogether, though. Just grab a pair of plus-size leather shorts and you’re set for whatever adventures await. Chic, on-trend, and easy to style with just about anything, leather (and faux leather) shorts deserve a spot in your wardrobe this season.
Give your denim shorts a rest for a moment and upgrade to leathery vibes instead. Because not only are leather shorts absolutely adorable, but they’re also unbelievably versatile. A pair of paperbag-waist leather shorts works just as seamlessly with a padded shoulder tank and sandals as it does with a sleek blouse and heels. And leather bike shorts? They’re incomparable when paired with an oversized tee and chunky sneakers or a blazer and booties. (!) This trend can turn any casual ensemble into a street style look in a matter of seconds—which is a major perk.
Go for a classic black option or choose a pair of plus-size leather shorts in an unexpected hue. Either way, you can’t go wrong. Once you slip some on, you’ll be amazed with just how perfect these beauts are for warm and sunny days. And the fact that they work effortlessly with nearly every piece in your closet? Well, that’s just the cherry on top.
The leather trend isn’t going anywhere, folks—so go ahead and lean in with a pair of leather shorts this season. They’re the spring and summer essential you didn’t know you needed (until now).
