Fashion Victim; Three Ways To Wear Leather Trousers
Leather trousers made a bit of a resurgence in the last decade, having been – in my eyes – a bit of a New Romantic garment. Nowadays leather no longer needs to mean skin tight – with A-Line dresses, joggers and even pleated skirts adding an edge to previously understated outfits.
It’s been a good long while since my last Three Ways to Wear post where I was looking ahead to the excitement of summer, and styling a simple white t-shirt; this time however we’ll be looking at styles suitable for our unpredictable Autumn weather.
I’ll level with you in that, given my waistline and thighs, I really have no business wearing leather anything – and yet I love it. My leather-look leggings from last year are my absolute go-to garments, especially in the winter as they’re waterproof while being fleece lined!
These are the trousers we’ll be basing our looks around for this blog, they’re £25.99 from New Look but at the moment you can save 20% when you spend £40 or more.
The trousers feature a high waist with a zip fastening, pockets (!) and a tapered leg in a shorter length for an effortlessly cool look.
These are a real staple piece for the Autumn and can be styled in a real variety of ways.
