Changing seasons call for a change in our reach-for staples; those everyday wardrobe heroes that we’d be sartorially lost without. And come autumn, a particular style of bottoms swoops in and takes the place of linen culottes, cotton midi skirts and lightweight denim. You guessed it: leather trousers.
Ada wears her wide-leg leather trousers with a preppy shirt-and-jumper combo and statement mules.
It feels as though this buttery-soft material was made for the colder seasons. Not only is it insulating and long-lasting, but it happens to pair perfectly with chunky knitwear and wool coats. Plus, shopping in 2022 means there are plenty of high-quality faux, sustainable and vegan options available. Rejoice!
Leather is a pretty timeless fabric choice, but it’s trending harder than ever this season. And inevitably, this means there’s a steady stream of leather pieces landing in our inboxes. Over the past few weeks, we’ve noticed with tangible excitement that leather has crossed paths with another of our most-relied-on items right now, wide-leg trousers.
Take note from Francesca Saffari and slot your leather pants into a cosy autumn look, complete with faux shearling and chunky boots.
From high street brands to luxury designers, the selection of trousers that marry our current favourite silhouette with our current favourite fabrication is vast, opening up all kinds of outfit options for the season ahead.
With this in mind, we took it upon ourselves to wade through the newness and pick out the very best wide-leg leather trousers on offer now. You know what to do…
Leather trousers are a great foundation to a stylish evening look, too. Like Danielle (who is wearing COS), pair yours with heels and a touch of sparkle and you’re set!
Personally, I love how matte leather looks—especially contrasted against shiny boots.
We knew we could rely on COS for a modern staple like this.
Vegans can tap into this trend, too.
A slightly flared style looks so good with a heel.
These look so comfortable—I’d knee-high boots and a blazer.
We saw a lot of this camel-coloured leather at Paris Fashion Week.
Part cargo pant, part leather trouser.
Perfect for pulling off a ’70s-inspired look.
These trousers are sustainably made using offcuts of leather that would usually go to waste. Cool, sustainable and stylish.
Super wearable.
I love how these hug the waist and then gently flare out.
Just add tall boots and a slim-fit top to balance out the proportions.
I just love this dark grey pair instead of ubiquitous black.
Full-length trousers work well with trainers peeking out the bottom.
Switch your fleecy lounge pants for this sleek leather iteration.
According to customers, these fit a little on the small side, so it may be worth sizing up.
This is a great pair of faux-leather trousers.
I’m very into this almost-brown, almost-burgundy hue.
This fuss-free faux leather pair is ideal if you want to try the trend out before investing.
Available in sizes 18-30.
Yes, these are an investment, but wow they are so good.
Team this neutral pair with your favourite beige coat.
Opt for a button fly to add a touch of interest.
If black isn’t your flavour, moss green has a similar but less harsh effect.
And last but certainly not least, old dressers, this one is for you.
