A good pair of shorts are a wardrobe staple that can be worn everywhere from the beach to a party and even for a quick stroll, so there’s nothing wrong with investing good money into getting some that don’t make you look and feel like you’re wearing your granny’s bloomers when you put it on.

Leather-Look Cruise Shorts

Parties can happen anywhere, and let’s be honest, cruise parties are the funniest.

These gay cruise shorts fit the bill.

Made from a hundred percent polyester material, they look and feel like leather but are much more affordable and less controversial. Although they are billed like cruise shorts, they can actually be worn to all kinds of parties; especially leather fetishized scenes of the type we love in Gay Berlin and Antwerp. They’ve got a slight shine to them, so even in muted light; they still stand out. The fabric is black, but it’s got contrasting trim in different colors. The red is a particular favorite of mine.

Wear it by itself or with a plain t-shirt, depending on the kind of party you’re attending. The highlight of these shorts is the way they mold to the body, contouring your curves and making your ass look like a snack.
