Ladylike leather

Leather shorts can be a tricky one... you shouldn't stand too close to a street corner while wearing them. But when worn in the right way I think they can look ladylike rather than tacky. Here's a few outfits based around my black leather shorts by Lover:



Add black tights and flats and simple pearl earrings. Wore this to lunch with the grandmother-in-law and she didn't bat an eyelid.

- bow blouse by Bardot
- green wool sweater by Country Road



Styled for a casual summer lunch.

- Stella McCartney Target bird-print silk tunic
- Karen Walker rope and skull necklace
- Robert Robert cut-out flats




Out to see a band or casual drinks in Autumn, add black tights for winter.

- Kirrily Johnston velvet and chiffon blouse, buttoned to neck

- Mollini heeled brogues

  1. Yay, I'm really starting to love these posts of yours. I'll add you to my blog list asap so I don't miss out in the future! So cool shorts, this made me consider getting a pair of leather shorts myself! Are they a bit loose on?

    Also a bit jealous of the Stella and Target collaboration you have there, and the shoes for the last outfit are so cute!!
