Every Fashion Girl Owns Leather Trousers—Here Are the Best 25 Pairs to Try Now
Changing seasons call for a change in our wardrobe staples, those everyday hero pieces that we'd be sartorially lost without. And come autumn, a particular pant style 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-leather, 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.
Between high-street brands and 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 for a stylish evening look, too. Like Danielle (who is wearing COS), pair yours with heels and a touch of sparkle, and you're set!

We saw a lot of this camel-coloured leather at Paris Fashion Week.
We 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.
Yes, these are an investment, but wow, they are so good.
