How To Style Leather Pants In 2022

The Failsafe Formula
If you’re about to dip your toe into the leather pant trend for the first time, it might feel a little daunting. Will they squeak? Will I sweat? Am I doomed to have my own Ross Geller moment if I dare go to the bathroom? No. No. And not if they fit properly. 

Choose a pair of black leather or faux leather pants as the base of your look. Next, layer up with a few of your everyday favourites – a basic white tee or crisp button-down shirt beneath a classic coat is a great place to start. When it comes to footwear, a pair of sleek winter boots, pointed pumps or low-top sneakers are our favourite picks depending on where we’re headed. See? We weren’t kidding when we said these pants are versatile. 

The IT-Girl Approved
If you’re confident kicking things up a notch, why not go beyond the black leather pant this season? Wide-leg pants in coloured leather are a fun way to refresh your look (pink and green are our picks this season) – balance the volume with a cropped knit or close-fitting cardigan to channel cosy vibes. 

Ride the 70s sartorial resurgence with a pair of brown leather pants in your arsenal. Shades of chocolate, cognac and tan are having a major style moment, and are just as easy to style as their noir counterparts.

Serious about making a statement? While not for the faint of heart, a leather on leather look is a luxe choice for a night out. Team a leather trouser with a leather jacket, leather crop top or corset to dial up the drama (keep an oversized jacket on hand when you want to pare it back). On the flip, a leather shirt or shacket makes the combo feel a little more androgynous.
