The last time I wore leather shorts was many moons ago (2012, to be exact), when they were all the rage. Although I felt like they were a little bit out of my style league, I was able to pull them off, toned down with elegant flats and a simple t-shirt. Now, I'm happy to report that I'm doing it again, despite Covid's slouchy-dressing dictates! I found the perfect pair in Topshop's butter-leather shorts. They're more like culottes with a knee-length hem, which makes them sophisticated yet laid-back, plus they're amazingly versatile: WFH-friendly as well as venture-proof. I teamed them with another Topshop score: a $95 do-it-all black double-breasted blazer (that will go over any dress, blouse, sweater, or even nothing!). If it sounds like I went on a Topshop bender, well, yes, I did: I also scooped up the chic duster coat (to wear over everything!), the super cute collared blouse, below, and the cozy reversible vest (ideal for transitional weather). Bring it all on, because I'm ready!
