7 outfit ideas with leather pants

Check out seven outfit ideas below that combine leather pants with other winter wardrobe key pieces. See the tips made in partnership with the fashion consultant Danyla Borobia, to create warm and stylish looks for this winter.

1. With thin shirts

Finer fabric shirts can be wildcards for looks that require a more formal touch. As leather pants already have a more sensual feel, it is interesting to pay attention if the shirt is very transparent, depending on the occasion when the look will be used.

About the composition of leather pants with light shirts, consultant Danyla indicates: “The cool thing is to bet on flared pants and compose it with thin tailored shirts, on the feet flats or more rustic heels, for example, squares, the more formal and less sensual look, this look is great for the office, if the company’s dress code allows it”.

2. With denim shirts

Jeans shirts certainly represent a good investment for any wardrobe, as they are highly combinable pieces and can be the final charm for many compositions. They can be used inside the pants, outside or even tied, providing a differential to the look.

On the versatility of the combination, Danyla adds: “Leather pants can be combined with glamorous accessories and the look can go to dinners and happy hours, so just bet on shoes with thinner heels or with gemstones”. To further increase the sensuality of the look, the first buttons can be kept open, and the look is finished off with a maxi necklace or a body chain.

3. With light tank tops and blouses

To keep leather pants in productions, even on less cold days, they can be combined with lighter blouses, or even tank tops. These are certainly possible alternatives to keep leather pants in your wardrobe, even in the hottest regions of the country.

“For this type of composition to stay modern, it’s cool to bet on a mix of textures, such as lace or silk tank tops, so the look is modern and sophisticated”, says Danyla about possibilities of combinations. However, the consultant warns: “Remember that transparency already has a sexy footprint, together with leather pants the look is more daring, so if the person’s style is not that or if the occasion asks for something more sober the best is to compose it with a second skin under the transparent blouse”.

4. With a sweater, jacket or knitting

Nothing warmer and cozy on cold days than a wool blouse. If the sweater is wider, it is better to combine it with skinny pants, so that it does not create too much volume at the top and bottom of the look, as Danyla confirms: “Usually the sweater, jacket or knitting tends to make the upper part of the torso bigger, so, to balance the silhouette, it is best to opt for more dry pants models”.

About the combination of leather pants with knits, Danyla adds: “This type of composition is very cool, as it uses a mix of textures that leaves any current look and nothing dull. It is possible to assemble a production with these pieces with a more sporty chic feel, just insert a sneaker, making the wave hi-lo”.

5. With winter coats

On days of more intense cold, a heavier coat becomes necessary, even over a sweater or another blouse. The warmest coats can be below the hip, and are commonly combined with scarves so that the neck region is also protected.

To elongate the silhouette, the fashion consultant gives the tip: “Just wear it with ankle boots or boots with the same color as the pants”. About the proportions of the pieces and balance of the look, Danyla adds: “The more dry models of pants are more suitable to balance the silhouette, since this type of coat is usually more voluminous”. Another alternative to add a special charm is to add a colorful scarf to monochromatic looks.

6. With jacket

Jackets differ from coats because they are shorter, usually located at or above the hip. In these combinations of these pieces, t-shirts are good options to be worn under the jacket, especially if the pants are tighter, to balance the volume throughout the look.

About the indication for each occasion, Danyla explains: “In this composition, the jacket that will set the tone of the style, if it is more formal with fine fabrics and tailoring, the look will be more sophisticated and if it is made of fabrics or more informal textures, for example, a denim jacket or a sweatshirt, the look will be casual and cool”.

7. Looks leather + leather

The mix of leather pieces on the top and bottom of the look may not be so likely, but it is possible and if properly combined it can be a look with a lot of fashion information, as Danyla adds: “For the look to be more modern, the It’s nice to wear two colors, the jacket/blouse/top in one color and the pants in another”.

The fashion consultant also recommends putting together the look with leather pieces of the same color, but pairing it with a shirt or blouse in a more striking color, as this can work to thin out the waist. For a more fashionable look, she suggests: “Insert a ‘fake’ fur vest over the look, even if you wear a leather jacket, a more fitted and long vest can yield a fashion and street style look”.
