But really, babe. What statement pieces do you have in your closet? A bold blazer? An edgy mesh top? A chic blouse? You guessed it!! Any of them would look PERF with a pair of leather shorts.
Wear them with just about any shoe.
Sandals, boots, sneakers, heels… you name the show and we guarantee it’ll look stellar with a pair of leather shorts. That’s the kind of versatility we all strive for, TBH.
