I can safely say my (faux) leather trousers from Mango are my most worn item in my autumn wardrobe. I found them in the sale two years ago after trying to track them down for months, and I’ve worn them so many times they’re quite literally splitting at the knee. But I’ll continue to sew them up, because once you find a great-fitting pair of leather trousers, you’ll never go back.
I will also tell you that they’re one of my most complimented items in my wardrobe. And I often get the response of a sign when I tell people they’re years old. Something I also find when I wear them is my friends telling me “I would never think to wear leather trousers with a chunky jumper” or “I would never think of swapping my jeans for leather trousers.” But that’s the thing, they go with literally any top, shirt or knitwear. Although, I have to say, they have to be kept grown-up and polished. No matter whether you choose faux, vegan or real leather, though, I think it’s best to go for a looser-fit. Because let’s face it, no one wants a Ross Geller leather pants moment when they’re so tight, you have to peel them off.
Want to know how to style leather trousers for autumn/winter? Here are 6 looks I’ll be trying out with my trusty Mango pair. And some other pairs you can actually still shop.
