Once and still popular among young women, leather pants have successfully oozed their way into men's fashion, being seen in countless designer presentations at Milan and Paris fashion weeks. Until now, the trouser has seldom been seen in leather form, most likely because it is usually associated with women's fashion.
Burberry Prorsum, Ann Demeulemeester, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci and Acne (among many more) showcased the masculine leather pants, predominantly in black and in different variations of cut. Most were paired with a stark white button-up shirt to form an almost classic looking outfit.
