As fashion editors, we get numerous questions regarding current trends and styles. Recently, one topic has emerged more than others: the fate of skinny jeans. While we suspect they may be staging a comeback, it's clear that fashion icons like Bella Hadid are gravitating toward a chic alternative: leather pants.
While in New York City today, Hadid—who had a viral cameo in the first episode of Yellowstone's fifth season—made a striking statement in an all-black ensemble. Her outfit comprised an oversize wool coat, a silk blouse, a Saint Laurent belt, and kitten-heel boots. However, the star of her look was, undoubtedly, the shiny leather pants that exuded sophistication and edge.

Hadid isn't alone in her preference for leather pants this season. An array of fashion people, particularly those in L.A., are also embracing this winter staple. Take Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for instance. She was spotted at an event over the holidays looking effortlessly chic in wide-leg leather pants. She complemented her look with an oversize tuxedo blazer, a sheer bodysuit, and open-toe heels, perfectly balancing refinement with a modern twist.
On Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: Saint Laurent Tuxedo Jacket in Grain De Poudre ($3300); Alaïa Jersey Rhinestone-Embellished Bodysuit ($2150); Bottega Veneta Leather Rounded Leg Pants ($5700); Gianvito Rossi Camnero Crystal-Embellished Suede Sandals ($1217)
Leather pants are a sleek and expensive-looking style that's in every winter, so it makes sense that women in and out of L.A. are wearing them right now. If you want to achieve that elegant look this season, keep scrolling to shop similar pairs to those worn by Huntington-Whiteley and Hadid.
