Tips on how to wear leather pants
While there are no hard and fast rules for styling leather pants, I’ve come up with some tips over the years that are pretty basic and can be applied to both casual and dressy outfits.
1. Don’t be afraid to mix black and brown.
Some may say mixing black and brown is tacky, but I don’t think so at all. I love a neutral look with different tones from head to toe, so don’t be afraid to mix black, brown and tan!
When it comes to footwear, whatever pants you choose to wear should complement the shape and length of your legs. For example, as mentioned above, skinny pants look great tucked into boots, but wide or straight pants look sloppy when tucked into boots. Cropped pants are great for showing off your ankles. or Make sure your ankles are not visible at all. These are the main things to keep in mind when planning your leather pants outfit.
3. Don’t be afraid to try faux styles.
Some faux leather pants look just as expensive as the real thing. Material and fit are very important when searching for these gems, so don’t be afraid to order multiple styles to try them out. As an avid online shopper, I’ve learned that what you see on your computer screen isn’t always the same in real life.
4. Shop your own closet first.
Since most people will only buy one pair of leather pants for the season, it’s important to think about the styling options you already have in your closet. For this reason, we recommend rough planning out the outfit you want to create. What shoes do you want to pair them with? Do you have a sweater or button-down shirt that you want to style with? Having a rough idea of ​​these questions will help you choose pants that are the cheapest cost per wear.
