These $155 Pants Look Like $1K Leather Pants, and We Have Proof
Genuine leather pants are great and all, but we're firm believers that if you can find something that looks like the real thing but costs a lot less and is even more comfortable, why spend any more than you have to? In this case, the thing we're referring to is a pair of pants from our namesake direct-to-consumer label, Who What Wear Collection.
The pants are the Eli Relaxed Vegan-Leather Trousers, and they've quickly become a surefire hit among our staff, customers, and influencers. In fact, Betsy, one of our lovely Who What Wear employees, recently shared with the brand's Creative Director, Kat Collings, that our vegan leather items "may be the crowning achievement of WWWC so far," adding that they're buttery, they fit well, and they look expensive. We'll take it.
Scroll to see for yourself how buttery and expensive they look, and then shop all of the Who What Wear Collection vegan leather pieces (we made a skirt too!).

How Fashion Girls Are Styling Them
See that perfect relaxed fit in action.
Did we mention they come in latte too?
So good with a bodysuit and heels.
They can easily be dressed down as well.
If you want a more fitted look, you can always try sizing down (they stretch).
They're a great swap for jeans, as you can see.
A good amount of stretch means that you could even lounge in them if you so please.
