Rick Owens Leather Shorts

Rick Owens Leather Shorts

Short leather shorts, black, elastic waist with the usual long drawstring hanging past the knot. Hem’s curved rather than straight, dips higher at the center front and rises on the outer edges, giving it a rounded, almost swim-short shape.

Fabric’s got a slight sheen typical of leather, catches light unevenly across the surface based on how it’s photographed.

The Curved Hem

That curved cut at the bottom is really what sets these apart, most shorts run a straight or split hem but this one arcs upward toward the center, higher up the thigh than the sides. Gives the leg opening a rounder look overall instead of a flat line across.

Fit

Sits short, well above the knee given how much leg shows in the photo. Elastic waistband, no visible pockets, drawstring doing the only real functional detail beyond the elastic itself.

Material

Leather, matte to slightly glossy depending on the light, holds a smooth surface without much visible texture or creasing yet. Reads more like a soft leather than a stiff, structured hide.
