MAKEMECHIC Leather Buckle Eyelet Shorts

Black. It reads hard against bare skin, softens beside denim, and throws a clear line next to a summer tan. The faux leather gives a low-reflect sheen that holds shape across the hip. The fit is tailored. The silhouette sits close and ends where shorts should, letting other pieces carry volume or contrast.

Beyond nights out, these shorts work as a wardrobe lever. Layer them under a longer knit for a tucked-away edge, or pair with shirts for a day that moves from meeting to music. The cut favours polished pairings over athletic ones. They are made to alter a simple outfit rather than to replace one.

One of 213 on the skirts, shorts and pants rail in the MAKEMECHIC edit. It also answers to shorts, going out. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
