Unpopular opinion: faux leather shorts are more wearable over 40 than you think 👇 I've had these for years and they're still one of the most asked about pieces I own — here's why they work: 1️⃣ The structure does the flattering for you. Unlike a denim or linen short, faux leather has a clean, tailored structure that skims rather than clings. It holds its shape beautifully and creates a polished silhouette that most casual shorts simply can't replicate. 2️⃣ The key is in how you style them. A crisp white button down, simple suede slides, and understated accessories — when everything around the shorts is clean and neutral, the leather becomes an intentional choice rather than a statement piece. That balance is everything. 3️⃣ They transition across seasons better than any other short. Summer with a linen shirt and sandals, early fall with a blazer and loafers — faux leather shorts have a longevity that denim shorts don't. You'll reach for them far longer into the year than you'd expect. These exact shorts are a few years old but I've linked the closest versions I could find because the questions have never stopped — and honestly that tells you everything you need to know about how wearable they are.
