I quickly got on the leather short trend and haven’t looked back. I just love wearing these for those warm fall days when you don’t want to wear a skirt or dress. As someone who loves shorts, I don’t know what took me so long to lean into this trend for fall and winter.
How To Style Brown Leather Shorts For Fall
Style With Earth Tones
I just love mixing my browns with lots of earth tones. I chose to pair these brown leather shorts with a tan sweater tank and a dusty pink-mauve blazer. This would also be great with hunter green, burgundy and other jewel tones.
Try Bright Colors
As you can see in this look with red and brown, bright colors also work with brown! A cobalt blue or bright purple is always fun to style with brown. If too much color intimidates you, just add a good neutral top layer like a camel or cream topper.

Wear It With Black
Yes, you can wear your brown leather shorts with black. The brown and black rule is one I love to break. Get inspired here on how to wear black and brown together.
To make this work, I’d style it with black on top and bottom to sandwich the colors. I think that creates the best balance.
Pair With Boots
My go-to when it comes to fall and styling shorts is to wear them with boots. It feels way more seasonally appropriate to have a knee high or even ankle boot on. I love these brown knee high boots paired with the brown leather shorts.
The knee high boot also helps to keep you more covered so you’re not as cold. You can even add another layer like a sheer brown tight.
Try A Sheer Brown Tight Or Sock With Loafers
If you want to go for a little more coverage with your leather shorts outfit, try adding a sheer tight. With brown shorts, you can do a sheer brown tight. I love the look of a sheer tight (think Denier level 10-20) for a really sheer and sexy look. Opaque tights are feeling a bit dated right now, and sheer is always best.
You can also wear a loafer with your brown leather shorts and pair them with a cute sock. This adds a little something to the look for extra interest and texture. And it’s the perfect way to make shorts feel more fall appropriate.
