In the experimental chemistry of fashion, Black leather is a volatile medium. When mixed with certain pieces and contained within the right environment, it’s alchemistic: dark liquid gold. In some states in particular–(a menswear-inspired brogue, an edgy motorcycle jacket)–the reaction can only be positive; in others, black leather is a bad potion, indeed. Example: the biker from the Village People–need I say more?
But enough of this chem. talk. Pulling off daywear black leather is a feat greater than the discovery of radium by the original collegiette, Marie Curie. Suck in, shake a little baby powder in the legs and style a pair of leather shorts like this great pair from H&M, (which is actually pleather but who’s checking tags?).
Take a peek at the looks below for five ways to style a leather short; think less biker gang, more Sandy at the end of Grease.
