Leather pants – Dos and Don’ts

Leather pants, not always easy to wear…they can give you a fashion look but be careful with what you combine them. Otherwise the outfit could be vulgar.
Choose matte not shiny leather.
Go for leather pants in dark colour, black (best), brown or dark navy.
Reach for a blazer. It’s a great tailored complement to your leather pants but do not slip into a matching leather jacket. This would give the whole a vulgar look.
You can wear as well a casual or a more dressed-up jacket, but don’t choose a short jacket. If you have large hips, the jacket should fall under your hip line.
You can also combine your leather pants with a long button-down or tunic top. But don’t pair your leather pants with a crop top.
Stay sober with your leather pants. Don’t pair them for example with running sneakers and a graphic T-shirt. If you want a striking element, stick to one.
Depending on the material of the top you wear with your leather pants, you will have a dressed-up (for ex. a silk top) or a casual look (for ex. a classic white T-shirt).
Avoid to wear this look to go to work, except if you are in the fashion business.

Enjoy your leather pants!
