IN NEWS sure to leave biker gangs uncharacteristically tearful, leather pants are threatening to go bougie.
Long a bad-boy symbol, hide trousers have been transformed by high fashion this fall.
They’re being proposed as a suave, sensual and comfortable alternative to chinos, cargo pants and tailored trousers.
Some feature high waists to elongate legs or pleats to conjure old-school élan worthy of Cary Grant.
Nick Paget, senior menswear strategist at trend forecasting firm WGSN, attributes the leather look to a post-Covid desire for sensual dressing.
