Favouring J Brand’s Maria high-rise black leather pants, the actress has been spotted out and about wearing the trousers on more than one occasion in the last few months. Most recently, she paired the skinny leather pants with a black blazer, graphic tee, and single strap heels. A few weeks earlier, Roberts wore the same trousers with another black blazer, an orange tee, and heeled sandals.
So if you’re ready to update your winter uniform, here are five pairs of leather trousers you should consider investing in this season.
Brunello Cucinelli
Brunello Cucinelli’s sleek trousers have been crafted in the label’s Italian atelier from butter-soft lamb leather. The leather has a stretch backing that gives the pair their flattering skinny fit. Wear yours with a crisp white shirt for a casual yet chic look.
Stella McCartney
For those of you who would rather not wear real leather, Stella McCartney’s black trousers are crafted from faux-leather as the label forgoes using animal products through its Skin-Free-Skin movement. Constructed from multiple panels, this high-waisted pair is cut with straight legs and a classic five-pocket configuration.
Valentino
