Leather is back: this is how we style it
Leather is having a moment, and we’re bringing the trend into our wardrobes in a few different ways. From Ulla Johnson’s take on the short leather jacket to leather trousers by Haikure and soft suede styles from The Product, these are the pieces that add texture, character and a little attitude to everyday dressing. Whether worn together or styled with your everyday favourites, leather is an easy way to give your autumn wardrobe a new feel.
The Leather Jacket: Ulla Johnson’s Take on a Modern Classic
Ulla Johnson’s Anouk Zip Up Leather Jacket offers a more feminine, sculptural take on the classic leather jacket. Crafted from black lamb leather, it combines a cropped silhouette with signature puff sleeves, subtle paneling and gentle gathers that create shape and structure. The clean neckline and discreet zip keep the design understated, while the sleeves give it a distinctive look.
We’d style it with relaxed denim and a simple tee for an everyday look, letting the shape of the jacket do the work. For something more dressed up, pair it with tailored trousers and a pointed-toe boot, or lean into the texture by styling it with suede. It’s a versatile piece that adds character to even the simplest outfit, and one you can return to season after season.
This is what we would pair the jacket with.
The Leather Trouser: Haikure’s Take on an Everyday Classic
Haikure’s Winny Silky Leather Pants bring a refined edge to an everyday wardrobe. Crafted from smooth black sheep leather, they feature a high-rise waist and straight-leg silhouette that feels timeless yet modern. The clean lines and understated details make them a versatile alternative to your favourite denim, with just a little more attitude.
For an effortless daytime look, pair them with a soft knit and loafers, or keep it simple with a classic tee and sneakers. For the evening, add a fitted top, heels and a statement bag. The beauty of these trousers lies in their versatility: an elevated wardrobe staple that works just as well dressed down as it does dressed up.
This is how we would style the leather pants.
The Suede Trouser: A Softer Take on Leather
For a more understated take on the leather trend, The Product’s Suede Wide Pants are all about rich texture and an effortlessly elegant silhouette. The deep brown suede brings warmth to your autumn wardrobe, while the wide-leg fit creates a relaxed yet polished look. They’re a great alternative to your everyday denim, adding something a little different without feeling difficult to wear.
For everyday styling, pair them with a chunky knit or a simple tee and your favourite sneakers for a relaxed look that still feels put together. When the occasion calls for something more dressed up, switch to heels and a beautiful top for an easy evening outfit. The dark brown shade works beautifully with cream, black and other autumn tones, making these trousers a versatile piece you can style in more ways than one.
