Nothing is as luxe in a wardrobe than a buttery soft piece of leather. Whether it be a jacket or leggings, not many pieces can compete with the soft material of real leather.
A close cousin of solid black regular leggings, a pair of leather leggings instantly makes any look cool. It is like that the person at the party everyone wants to know – part edgy, part chic, and all parts cool.
How To Wear Leather Leggings
Like any closet classic, there are a multitude of ways to style the staple. Add an oversized sweater and white sneakers for a casual look with friends.
Black leather leggings strike a balance between a night out look with pumps, or can even be worn to a casual work environment, wearing an oversized blazer.
Scroll below to find inspo on how to wear leather leggings for the cooler weather.
1. Leather Jacket
Leather is an investment purchase that has enduring appeal, and with wear, becomes a second skin. Start off strong with a head-to-toe leather look.
Leather leggings are a great way to transform any look from casual to cool. To finish off the look, a leather jacket is an elevated essential that should be part of everyone’s capsule wardrobe.
Who said brown and black are a faux pas? These once forbidden shades are now the latest combination for autumn wear.

Whether you’re running errands or headed to a brunch, oversized sweaters could be just the wardrobe staple to complete your outfit.
To add an elevated element to the casual outfit, pair with black ankle boots. Combat boots are also a great option for times of inclement weather.
A luxury leather legging is the ultimate day-to-night delight. Yes, faux leather pants are great, but nothing beats a buttery piece of real leather.
Up the ante and style the staple with chunky knit sweaters and a pair of sneakers. To turn this easy outfit into a night-time look, pair with knee-high boots and a luxury handbag.
This outfit formula is a great idea for a no-fail combination for the cooler months.
3. Jacket
With the investment of a great oversized jacket, leggings can now feel entirely street style worthy.
With the tight feel of leggings, a roomier jacket or an oversized fit makes sense.
In fact, the modern way to wear leggings is to barely notice them at all: They should fade into the background of the rest of your outfit.
Lean into the athletic nature of leggings and add an elevated take on the popular athleisure wear.

Pro tip: build your blazer outfit in the same color family as the bottom half for a look that’s cohesive without being overwhelming.

4. Tops
Amp up the rock star quotient like Gigi Hadid. A chambray button-down offsets the edgy leather leggings while Adidas sneakers grounds the look with a casual, cool feel.
