We are back again this week with another discussion on trends.
Today’s topic are leather pants and how to best style them, along with 5 of our suggestions, of course.
A few articles ago we discussed leather leggings, faux ones of course. While they certainly do have their benefits, it’s hard to beat the real deal.
Some people tend to shy away from leather pants for different reasons, fearing that they will look unflattering on their bodies. But, being sturdy and quite forgiving, leather pants tend to hide minor flaws quite well, actually. And this goes for both genuine and faux leather pants.

Another concern could be their reputation, which isn’t a favorable one in the eyes of some. This is due to how tight they fit on the body, showing off the curves a tad too much for some.
However, since we are now living in the era of big hips and luscious figures, this is actually a big plus and a good reason to have a pair in your wardrobe.
Along the same lines, they are also infamous for being a bit uncomfortable. Overheating is the most common issue, which is why some people turn to leather leggings to avoid this.
But beauty means sacrificing, after all. On a more serious note, nowadays leather pants are a lot more comfortable than when they first started out, so if you are looking to spice up your outfits, go for it.
Lastly, it’s the matter of styling them. We will get to this in a few but let us tell you that apart from jeans, leather pants are the easiest to match into a great outfit. Especially if you know the right way to go about it, which we will tell you all about, obviously!

How To Wear Leather Pants
We are at everyone’s favorite part: how to wear leather pants.
Color
Let’s start off with color matching as this is the most common error you will see when styling an outfit that includes these pants.
If you are a beginner fashionista, or just simply want to make it easier for yourself, which we wholeheartedly condone, opt for black pants. They match well with most tops you are thinking of and also leave plenty of freedom to choose different colors for the shoes and top.

When it comes to how to actually color match the top, pastels are a great option, provided you are not wearing pants in the same color. We’d recommend you avoid same-color combinations on most outfits as it is rarely flattering.
Vibrant and bright colors are also an interesting combination that could really work, especially if you are planning to wear flats or sneakers. This will help balance out the look of the outfit and add it some youthfulness.
Top and Jacket Style
Long tops, such as tunics, oversized shirts and sweaters look fabulous with leather pants.
Long sleeves are especially fitting as leather pants will turn your day into a horror show if worn in summer. Heat and leather pants are the worst combination you can possibly think off, so save them for autumn and winter.

Jackets are highly recommended as they go perfectly with the casual vibe of leather pants. Denim jackets, for example, are a great choice if you are going for a relaxed look to your outfit.
Other jackets and coats are also suitable to wear, but avoid leather jackets, lest you want to look like a biker. Which, if you are, go girl!

Since we are on the topic of style, we would suggest that you avoid wearing leather pants to work.
Despite not being revealing or anything, they do come off as quite casual, a look that most offices and companies do not prefer. Keep leather pants for when you are out having fun.
