Leather (or pleather!) Shorts Trend — how to STYLE

Styling

So I am sure you have been noticing all over social and in real life that leather (pleather) shorts are back! I honestly only ever have worn pleather shorts one time in my life before this trend hit and that when I dressed up as a motorcycle babe to bartend for an event in college!

Oh and in case you think I am kidding, here is the proof (#dead!)! Seriously, we thought we looked good though.

Anyways back to the matter on hand here–when I heard and saw leather shorts coming into style I instantly thought of this photo and thought “no way, I am going to get on board with this” but here we are! And ya’ll I’m LOVING the leather shorts trend (well as long as you aren’t trying to look like a biker babe!)! It’s amazing all the different ways you can style them.

Here is a great video showing you 3 different ways to dress these leather shorts up and down depending on what you have planned for your day/night.

Daytime Look (running around after your kiddos at the park, grocery store runs, etc)

I love this simple look that is elevated by adding the leather shorts. This look is completed by a fun jean jacket with pearls, my favorite neutral sneaks & that Abercrombie bodysuit that I always am raving about. Shop this look HERE.

Day or Night Look (brunch with girlfriends, headed out to the pumpkin patch, cocktails with friends)

Pair the leather shorts with a gorgeous pair of booties (love these suede ones!), a hat and a comfy plaid button-down and you can pretty much run the world! Seriously, take this look into daytime or night time or the pumpkin patch photos because it just works.

Night Time (date night, drinks & dinner with girlfriends, cocktail hour)

All you need to take these leather shorts into the nightlife is a beautiful shirt and some heels (or heeled boots). Pretty much all colors are working with this particular pair of “leather” shorts–check it out with blue and black below. I can also see a gorgeous all black outfit combo with some black leather shorts happening. Shop these looks HERE
