If you’re looking for a fun and stylish alternative to traditional shorts, you should consider buying shorts made of leather. Leather is a strong, durable, and most importantly comfortable material that’s perfect for use in shorts. Leather shorts offer many of the same benefits as leather pants, but they are preferred during the warm spring and summer months simply because they are lighter. Wear Them With Leggings One simple yet classy way to wear leather shorts is to pair them with leggings. As shown in the picture above, this is an easy outfit that looks great for all occasions. Find a pair of leggings that match your leather shorts and wear them together for a classic look with a modern twist. You don’t have to be a fashionista to rock this outfit! It’s important to note, however, that the use of leggings may add weight and warmth to your outfit — something that could reduce your comfort level during the spring and summer months. Wear Them With High-Heels Think high-heeled shoes should only be worn with dresses? Think again? While they are certainly a popular choice among women who wear dresses, high-heels can also be worn with shorts, including leather shorts. In fact, this is a great way to enhance the natural beauty of leather shorts, drawing attention to them while adding a fun new element to your overall look. The key thing to remember when wearing leather shorts with high-heels is to choose footwear that matches the leather. Leather shorts are available in a wide range of colors, including standard brown, tan, black, yellow, red, blue and green...

Does your leather feel too soft and supple? Most people have the opposite problem: their leather shoes, garments and accessories are too stiff, making them uncomfortable to wear. But there are times when you may come across a leather item that’s too soft. The good news is that you can often stiffen it by following some simple steps, which we’re going to discuss further in today’s blog post. Dry It One of the easiest ways to stiffen leather is to let it dry out. We’ve talked about this before on the LeatherCult blog, but it’s worth mentioning again that leather contains thousands upon thousands of small, microscopic pores that are constantly absorbing and releasing moisture. When leather becomes dry, the moisture within these pores is released; this, the leather becomes a bit stiffer and less supple. I don’t recommend placing your leather items in an actual dryer, but you can leave it outside (under a covered area) for a day or so to help it dry out. The combination of sunlight and outdoor air should release its moisture, making it become a little more stiff in the process. Sunlight You may also be able to stiffen your leather by leaving it exposed to sunlight for a given period of time. How can this help? Well, the sun’s powerful ultraviolet rays will beam down on the leather, causing chemical reactions to occur while also speeding up the drying process. Assuming you have access to a window, pull back the curtain, open the blinds and place your leather garment in front of it. Leave it here for a couple of days and...

Thinking about buying a leather jacket? There’s no denying the fact that leather is a brilliant, durable fabric that’s particularly effective in the production of jackets. Whether you’re a man, woman, young or old, you can rest assured knowing that a leather jacket will enhance your image while boosting your self-confidence. To make the most of this fashionable garment, however, you’ll want to follow the tips outlined below. Color Matters First and foremost, think about the color when choosing a leather jacket. Some people assume that brown is the option available, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. After browsing around for a while, you’ll quickly realize just how many different colors and styles of leather jackets there are available. Feel free to venture into other colors like black, red, yellow or white (yes, there are white leather jackets). Length Something else you should consider when choosing a leather jacket is the length. Traditionally, leather jackets stop around the waist, which is the preferred length for most people. However, you can choose a longer and more modern waistcoast-style leather jacket instead. These jackets go farther down before stopping, adding a fun new element to your appearance. Of course, this is ultimately a personal decision that only you can decide, so choose the style that’s best suited for your particular taste. Layer it Over Plaid According to the fashion website Gurl, one way to rock a leather jacket is to wear it over plaid. Many people play it safe when wearing a leather jacket, choosing basic solid colors. While there’s nothing wrong with wearing a standard white t-shirt under...

Formal occasions, for instance, often call for longer skirt and dress lengths than casual occasions. High-Heels Can’t seem to choose the right footwear for your leather pencil skirt?
