A woman wearing black faux leather shorts

Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

I’ve developed a sudden obsession with leather shorts, like this buttery-soft faux version.

As with my other leather pieces, I find them really versatile — they pair equally well with tees and sneakers as they do with blazers and booties. For this particular pair, I especially like the high waist and wider leg opening. Wear these to your next fall evening out.

These pleated high-waist faux leather shorts from Avec Les Filles are $110 at Nordstrom. They come in black and “paprika” and are available in sizes XS–XL.

Fabletics offers an option with a wider size range of XXS–4X that’s $54.95.
