You wouldn’t usually expect leather to be used when making longer length shorts but these hit the mark. They have a lambskin waistband and have side seam zippers. They’d be perfect for working a relaxed, boyish silhouette. Pity these stylish longer length shorts are way out of my price range.
There are a range of different styles of longer length shorts to choose from this summer. Denim is always a popular choice, but other fabrics such as leather give the humble short a contemporary twist. What do you think of the longer length short and is it something you’ll be wearing this season?
