Whether you’re planning a date-night or looking for a failsafe weekend look, leather trousers have become a modern wardrobe staple, offering a great alternative to jeans in the colder months. If you’re looking for some inspiration on ways to style your leather trousers scroll on for four easy looks.

The leather pant has taken on a cooler, more relaxed look for AW23 with shapes that play into tailoring, a 1970s inspired flare and even sporty track pant shapes. Look to Instagram for way to style them, from Anine Bing’s rock ‘n’ roll influenced look to Symphony of Silk’s paired back, office-appropriate outfit.

Work-Appropriate

Proving leather trousers can look polished, influencer Symphony of Silk pairs her butter-soft chocolate brown (the colour of the season) pants with a luxe knit. The black against the brown just gives the look a bit of warmth and still fells workwear appropriate unless your office has very strict rules. Chanel’s iconic sling backs will always elevate a look – we’ve found this great Carvel dupe for under £100.

Office Party-Ready

Pair tough leather with more opulent fabrics like ruched jacquard or velvet just like Amelia Taylor. Finish the look of with high-shine red lips and a great high street heel.

Dinner Date Style

Queen of cool, Anine Bing knows her way around a monochromatic look. Leather plays perfectly into this, adding a rock ‘n’ roll edge to the OG It-girl with this exclusive Kate Moss print tee.

Weekend Style

Cosy knit + oversized leather + sporty cap. Shouldn’t work, but it does. We love the play of textures from Agnes Pusztai’s cosy weekend look – recreate it with H&M’s fussy mohair knit in butterscotch, Fendi’s iconic Baguette bag and a winter cap, borrowed from the ARKET men’s department.
