Our take on the High Waist Faux Leather Shorts

High-waist shorts in faux leather, cut to sit at the natural waist and fall mid-thigh. The coated fabric gives a glossy, leather-like look without animal hide, and most versions have a back zip or side zip and a smooth, unlined interior. They suit nights out, festival and party outfits, and anyone building a leather-look wardrobe on a budget. Against real leather shorts they are lighter, easier to wipe clean and far less stiff, but they do not breathe like leather and can feel clammy in heat.

Best forNights out and partiesFestival and concert outfitsBuilding a leather-look wardrobeWarm-weather styling with tights or bare legs

Pros

Glossy leather look at a fraction of real leather's stiffness and weight
High waist holds the shorts in place and flatters the midsection
Easy to wipe clean; no leather conditioning needed
Pairs with crop tops, blouses, boots and heels
Usually a back or side zip for a flat front

What reviewers say

Buyers of high-waist faux leather shorts generally like the look and the waist-defining fit, and many say they photograph well for nights out. Complaints centre on sizing and on the fabric: some find them tight at the hip, and a few report the coating creasing or feeling warm and non-breathable after long wear.

What people mention

FitMixedSome buyers find the high waist flattering and secure, while others say the hip runs tight and sizing varies between makers.
Fabric feelMixedThe leather look is convincing, but the coated material feels warm and non-breathable in heated rooms.
DurabilityCriticisedA few owners report the faux leather creasing, cracking or peeling after repeated wear.

Questions and answers

Are faux leather shorts worth it over real leather?: For occasional nights out, yes: they give the same glossy look with less weight and stiffness and need no leather care. Real leather breathes better and lasts longer if you wear the style often.
How should high-waist faux leather shorts fit?: They should sit at the natural waist and skim the hip without pulling at the zip. Faux leather has little stretch, so size to your hip measurement rather than sizing down.
Can I wear them in summer?: Short periods outdoors are fine, but the coated fabric traps heat and sweat. They work better for evenings, air-conditioned venues or with tights in cooler weather.
How do I clean faux leather shorts?: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap, then hang to dry away from direct heat. Skip the washing machine and iron, which can crack or melt the coating.
What do I wear with them?: Crop tops, tucked blouses, oversized knits and boots or heels all work. A tucked top keeps the high waist visible, which is the point of the cut.
Do they have pockets?: Most high-waist faux leather shorts have no functional front pockets; some have back pockets or a zip at the back or side. Check the specific style before buying.
