Need now: Leather pants: At every price! #luxetoless
Fun fact: I’ve been talking about leather pants here on The FiFi Report since 2014.
It was actually waaay back in 2011 that I yelped with glee and shrieked with excitement when I first laid eyes on divine leather track pants in the Celine show.
That’s the thing.
Fashion actually moves slowly. If you get in on the trend early you can get years of wear. (Don’t worry! I am here to tell you immediately about a new trend as soon as I sniff it out).
You need leather (or pleather) pants in your wardrobe.
The add texture and a cool fashion edge to your wardrobe (where boring black pants can be a snoozefest)
And they don’t need ironing ( the main reason I grab them every day, ha)
They don’t have to be black though they are the most flattering and versatile.
Go for choc brown or khaki green.
Make sure they’re slouchy ( like these Arket joggers), with room to move.
Here’s a little trick: If you have leather leggins or coated jeans from a couple of seasons ago then keep wearing them. But make sure you wear them with a long slouchy sweater. Over the low waist. With combat boots.
You need something new and modern to joosh them up for another season.
The way to wear leather pants ?
With a slouchy white tee or knit, a big blazer or a long coat.
With sneakers or birkenstocks or loafers or white boots.
It’s almost my uniform, ( nothing wrong with that , means you know your style)
One of my favorites ? These Zara pleather jeans , I got a size 42 ( so flattering, so comfortable)
Styling tips:
- Keep leather baggy and slouchy, tight = tacky (except leggings).
- Stick to one piece of leather, it can get too Las Vegas head to toe. Yikes
- Toss on lots of volume on top when wearing tight leggings.
- Don’t worry about different textures: it’s good to mix wool, silk, cotton with leather.
- Stick to dark colours: white leather can look scary and cheap dot com
- Add white boots, white mules, white sneakers to lighten it up.
- Or keep the colours the same as the pants and add black boots or chunky dad sandals.
- When in doubt add a long big oversized coat and you’re out the door!
