What it is:
A staple of the autumn/winter 2024 season is evidently the leather-look
pants. They were so common on fashion week runways, in fact, that they
extended beyond their typically attributed category of ‘edgy’ daywear to
become both that and a piece of more formal attire by brands that
experimented with more elevated iterations of the look. This saw them come
in the form of everything from mom jean silhouettes to lace up flares to
more tailored shapings, making the breadth of the style far-reaching.

Why you’ll want it:
For the colder months, such trousers are an essential part of keeping warm,
with alternative leathers being a good insulation material for the wearer.
As such, the leather-look trouser is both functional as a warm layer and
stylish, giving it an added appeal to shoppers looking for both in their
wardrobe. Not only this, but its presence for the season was defined by an
extensive range in shapes and cuts, allowing the pants to transcend
categories. This means they can be suitable for both evening wear and
formal occasions alike, further expanding on their offer.

Where we’ve seen it:
As mentioned, the leather-look trousers were everywhere for the coming
autumn/winter season. Styles ranged from entirely lace-up fronts, as seen
on the runway of Dilara Findikoglu, to more sleek, clean-cut iterations,
such as 16Arlington’s turquoise mom jean style. Others stuck more closely
to the leather pants’ rock aesthetic foundations, present in the
collections of Knwls and Huishan Zhang, both of whom offered up heavily
stone-washed materials. Similarly, Marques’Almeida also presented a style
reminiscent of motorbike attire, seen in the use of buckles and prominent
zippers.

How to style it:
It is this rock/motorbike style that can be adopted to formulate an outfit,
if the consumer is responsive to such a look. Here, take cues from eras
past, adding grungy vests under oversized leather jackets, a look that can
be tied together with chunky boots. If shoppers are looking for a more
casual approach to the leather pants, pair the style with a chunky,
cable-knit jumper and a long-line camel coat. This outfit can be rounded
out either with basic sneakers or strappy heels, depending on what the
occasion calls for.

The leather pants are a practical yet stylish winter wardrobe item that
have adapted to become cross-category and therefore widely appealing. The
further increased access to animal-friendly alternatives also provides
shoppers with a piece that caters to their values, offering a more ethical
approach to their purchase.
