Ask trendsetters like Alexa Chung, Rihanna and Sharon Stone to point out the next big thing on the fashion horizon and they’re likely to suggest that much-loved item, leather pants.No longer reserved for aged rock stars and hairy bikers, leather pants are for everyone – but they do come with a bit of a warning: They are as difficult to wear right, as they are versatile.
To wear leathers as a normal pair of pants, you’ll need to be rather skinny and well-toned, as leather tends to cling to skin. A useful alternative is to wear this ‘second skin’ as you would leggings; combined with
a longer top to cover up.
If you’re inclined to be a little more open-minded, leather pants can be extremely versatile and I’m willing to suggest that they might even be the new denim of the season! Dress them down for a casual look by pairing them with quirky pumps and a soft-knit jersey or cardigan. 
Make it office-appropriate by keeping things simple and pair your leather pants with classics such as a well-cut white collar shirt and nude heels. The result is sure to be ultra-sexy and make for a surprisingly sophisticated look. Get ready for a great evening out and put on a sequined frock and a great pair of heels. If you dare, swop the frock for a funky top and a cropped jacket and prepare to get noticed for all the right reasons.
Take a walk on the wild side; experiment with this trend and I’m prepared to suggest that you’ll be more than pleasantly surprised!
