If you fancy yourself some fancy pants this season, make leather pants are your go-to, as they’re perfectly designed for insulating warmth and flaunting style as temperatures go down.
Leather pants in black are a classic staple piece. Whether they’re matte, shiny or liquid glossy, you can bet that the blackness of the pants will anchor your look down IF you wear it right.
So, how does one wear leather pants without landing a ticket by the fashion police?
Score fashion pointers on how to wear leather pants stylishly as you scroll down below:
Slouchy leather pants (faux or genuine) should be paired with a much more structured top or one that has clean lines. Wrinkly on wrinkly will spell out overly slouchy and not in a good way. So it’s best to avoid that.
Faux vs genuine leather?
The advantage of faux leather pants/leggings is that they’re easier to maintain. Drop them in the washing machine and it’s all good. Plus, they’re kinder on your wallet. If you have the doughs and patience to care for genuine leather types, go for it.

Black leather pants are the best when it comes to the endless way you can wear it. If the pants fit snugly to your legs, pair it with a slouchy comfy sweater in beige and finish off with black ankle boots.
This look is made even chicer with the addition of a statement-making leopard hand-carry bag.
Sizing up leather pants:
Be sure to pick a size that fits your leg just nicely. Avoid the extremely tight territory as the overly wrinkly look of a near-bursting leather pants is not a good one. It may cause your legs to appear severely large and worse, if worn with a short top, a camel toe will make an appearance, which to be honest is the death of style and class.
