How to Be Warm, Sexy and Edgy in Leather Pants

Faux leather pants are warm, sexy and edgy.  Even if that’s not your style, they balance out when worn with their opposites:  soft, feminine, girly, ladylike, even businesslike.  And they don’t have to be black; there are many other colors available now.  And they don’t have to be skin-tight.  The latest styles of leather pants are loose with drawstrings, gathered like joggers, shaped like culottes or with wide legs.  Because of all of these style options, age doesn’t matter.  Besides, if you’re older and facing imperfections on your legs, it totally covers any problem you might have!

Faux leather pants go well with feminine blouses, corset tops, lace and chiffon.  When the cold weather subsides, you can even wear them with tank tops and crop tops if that’s your thing!  To be extra warm all over, add a sweater such as a cable pullover or a cardigan.

Boots are the go-to footwear for leather pants.  For day, you can wear slip-on sneakers.  For evening, heels play up the sexy vibe.

Following are outfit ideas using black faux-leather pants and more outfit combinations after that using any color faux-leather pants.  These outfit suggestions range from the transition of Fall-to-Winter to the transition to Spring (for instance, if you have colored leather or cut-out booties or strappy suede sandals).

(This writer recommends faux leather in order to be kind to animals, so for all of the following “leather” pants I really mean “faux.”)
