Leather is incredibly popular this year, from suede jacket to leather pencil skirt and, of course, leather pant. Sometimes, it’s tricky to create leather pants outfits—that’s where we help you solve the “how to wear leather pants” question.
First things first, please avoid buying cheap faux leather clothing. While “vegan” leather might seem eco-friendly, it’s often a form of greenwashing in the fashion industry. In many cases, it’s actually worse for the environment than genuine leather because it’s made from plastics or other harmful materials like petroleum.
Instead, you can choose eco-conscious brands that produce leather alternatives from materials like banana peels or recycled leather. Alternatively, shopping for vintage leather is a great way to stay more sustainable with your leather purchases.
A couple of points to fact-check about vegan leathers before jumping on Leather pants outfits ideas.
- Faux leather and vegan leather are often made from polyurethane or PVC, which are plastic-based materials derived from petroleum. While they are marketed as “animal-friendly,” their environmental impact can be severe due to the non-biodegradable nature of the materials and the use of harmful chemicals during production.
- There are plant-based leather alternatives, like those made from pineapple leaves (Piñatex), apple peels, or banana fibers, which are more sustainable options than synthetic leather.
- Mushroom leather is another innovative alternative gaining popularity. Known as Mylo, it’s made from the root structure of mushrooms, called mycelium. This plant-based leather is durable, flexible, and fully biodegradable, making it a more eco-friendly option compared to traditional leather or plastic-based faux leather.
How To Style Leather Pants Without Looking cheap?
Elevated Leather Pants Style
Leather Pants with Blazer
Leather pants are sometimes hard to pull off if they are in a skinny fit; there is a good chance that you might look tacky. But here loose fit with a blazer looks exceptionally chic.
I styled this outfit many years ago. I think it’s a bit on the edgier side, even though there is a blazer and button-down at the present. However, you can definitely wear this look to your office, perhaps with better hairstyling.
Perhaps you want to button to prevent the peak of a bra for your next meeting. lol

I have mixed feelings about Vinyl leather clothing. This Isabel Marant Trench Coat called Abby in this same material still haunts my mind to this day, and I am still sad over not purchasing it back in 2019 The Real Real LA Store. Sometimes, vinyl leather looks so cool, and sometimes, it goes on the cheap side. So you decide on this one. But the outfit from Sofia Richie looks good for a night out in the city during the fall.
