Reflecting fall/winter 2025 denim trends, leather pants come in a variety of styles, so the choice is yours. If you prefer a classic straight-leg, check out options from Agolde, Nili Lotan, and Khaite. For something more current, barrel-leg leather pants are an editor favorite, with flares and bootcuts also trending. You can find both real and faux leather in every shape from brands like J.Crew and Frame—pick the silhouette that suits you best.

Once you’ve chosen your pair, take style cues from celebrities. Stars like Dua Lipa have been wearing leather pants lately, offering inspiration for transitional dressing. She paired high-waisted black leather pants with a simple tank top—an easy look that layers well with fall jackets or cardigans in the morning and stands alone when it warms up. Doubling up on leather is also a great idea, as seen on Louisa Jacobson, Emma Stone, and Gigi Hadid. Whether it’s an oversized moto jacket, a suede piece for texture, or a sleek bomber, matching leather pants with complementary outerwear is a street style-approved approach.
