Anne Hathaway recently demonstrated how even a striped button-down and black pants can cause a stir—especially when styled with a cheeky heart purse. The bag is an Alaïa, but upon second glance, it was Hathaway's sleek leather pants that made this look a fall outfit worth replicating.
While the typical fall uniform in NYC consists of jeans and a leather jacket, we're reconsidering how to dress for leather weather this season. Swapping everyday denim for a more elevated leather-looking pair of pants or trousers is an easy adjustment—and certainly just as versatile.
Ahead, we've picked out nine pairs of black leather (and vegan leather) pants to incorporate into your fall wardrobe. Give the jeans a weekend off, and add interest to a simple black-and-white look with red accessories like the Devil Wears Prada star. Or keep it casual with a cozy knit and your coolest kicks.
Unless you can borrow the Chanel boots from the fashion closet at Runway magazine.
That's all.
