One of the most versatile and cutting edge piece of clothing are leather pants. However, some people don’t know how to wear with them and pull off the look. If you wear them the wrong way you could end up looking like you are trapped in the 80’s.

If you wear them the right way you can make a bold statement showing off your confidence and unique sexuality. Check out 3 tips that will help you wear leather pants with style.

Mix and Match

When you decide to wear a pair of leather pants it is always a good idea to mix and match. Try not to wear anything else that’s leather with your leather pants, as this may be too much (just like you wouldn’t wear denim on top of denim).

Play around with different proportions like wearing a silk top to contrast with the pants. A print shirt is also a good way to add some contrast to your outfit so you look current and fresh.

To add some textural contrast to your outfit you can wear a top that isn’t as smooth or as shiny as your leather pants. Go with tops that are corduroy, wool, or tweed to accomplish this. Whatever do just avoid dressing in leather from head to toe.

Add Color

More than likely the leather pants you wear will be a dark color like black. So to help bring some life and excitement to your outfit try adding some bright colors such as yellow, orange, or hot pink.

Adding bold colors will brighten up the dark tone of your pants and make you look younger and more happy. Even if you decide to go with a top that’s a neutral color try adding bold colors to your attire through accessories like a necklace, belt, and so on.

Add Some Feminine

One of the main reasons a lot of women tend to stay away from leather pants is because they make them look too masculine as if they are a part of a bike gang. However, by implementing some feminine accessories or fabrics the rough look of the pants can be balanced out.

Add feminine colors such as pink to wear over the top of your edgy leather pants. Accessories such as cocktail jewelry can add more of a feminine feel to your outfit. Also, to balance out the masculine style of the leather pants wear pieces of jewelry that have bows or flowers. Other things you can wear to take some of the attention off the rough edge of the pants include a nice scarf and a strand of beads.

Wearing leather pants can seem intimidating at first, but if you follow these 4 tips you should be able to wear them without looking like a rock band from the late 80’s.
