What do punks and chic French girls have in common? For one, they often opt for a sleek pair of leather pants over a more standard pair of straight-leg jeans. And honestly, they may just be on to something. You’ve likely worn your motorcycle leather jacket to death, but a good pair of leather pants is just as deserving of being worn on repeat. Leather pants are more polished than denim, but not quite as formal as a pair of tailored trousers. And as demonstrated by punks and Parisians, they work in plenty of wardrobes, regardless of your preferred aesthetic. “Think of leather as an investment piece that you can pair with anything and return to again and again,” Marianne McDonald, the creative director of Citizens of Humanity, says.
