Here’s the thing, there’s no denying that leather leggings are the epitome of cool. It’s no wonder why they’ve always been a favourite of bikers, celebrities and rock stars alike. These days though, you don’t need to ride a motorcycle or be in a band in order to wear coated faux-leather leggings . At first glance, they might seem to look a bit intimidating, but once you get to know them, you’ll soon realise that they’re easier to pull off than you think. The outfit opportunities are endless and they’re a great substitute to your skinny jeans. Plus, when the temperature drops, leather leggings keep your legs nice and toasty.

1. A Biker Jacket & White T-Shirt

For the ultimate model-off-duty style, we love how Miranda Kerr is rocking a biker jacket with her black leather leggings outfit. Basics will never fall short as adding a plain white tee into the mix rounds off the look nicely. On brighter days, sunglasses always add that extra touch of cool.

2. A Printed T-Shirt & Knee-High Boots

There’s something about knee-high boots that instantly takes any look to a whole new level. It’s no wonder why Kate Bosworth decided to style her pair with leather leggings. Opting for a cool photograph printed T-shirt like we see here is a great way to make a statement if you’re not in the mood for the same old basics.

3. A Puffer Jacket & Crop Top

Kim Kardashian always seems to love wearing a puffer jacket, doesn’t she? Bundling up in this super-cosy and super-stylish layer is never a bad choice during the winter months. To go for a more elevated version of the athleisure look, opt for a crop top and heels like Kim K classically does.

4. A Dogtooth Coat & Chelsea Boots

Monochrome never fails in creating the perfect fashion moment. Deepika Padukone shows us how to style leather leggings with a classic dogtooth coat, thus making it a go-to layering option. On colder days, you can always rely on a pair of easy-to-wear Chelsea boots to round off the outfit.

5. A Faux Fur Coat & Quilted Handbag

It’s never a bad thing to stand out for all the right reasons. Here we see Nicky Hilton Rothschild making a killer statement in an animal print faux-fur coat and showing us how to wear leather leggings. On the go? Pairing a cute quilted handbag with this look goes a long way.

6. A Cable Knit Jumper & Heeled Boots

Don’t be afraid to combine different textures when planning your leather leggings outfit. Soft and snuggle-worthy knitwear is especially welcomed when the temperature drops. Throwing on a cable-knit jumper like Katie Holmes allows you to look stylish and feel cosy. Elevate the look with some chic heeled boots.

7. A Stripe Top & Pops of Colour

With this classic black-and-white stripe top, Vogue Williams is giving us great inspo on tops to go with leather leggings. Want to break up the monochrome shades? Mood-boosting bright pink accessories are always a good way to add pops of colour to your outfit. Also, can we just say that Vogue’s handbag is some serious eye candy…

9. A Nice Top & Heeled Sandals

Because we’ve been at home a lot more these days, sometimes it’s just nice to swap the loungewear for something a bit fancier even if you are indoors (kitchen disco, anyone?). Ashley Graham shows us what dressy tops to wear with leather leggings by choosing this sleek button-up number. Adding the final touches with heeled sandals channels effortless sophistication.

10. A Shacket & Trainers

Comfort is key with this leather leggings styling inspo. Shay Mitchell reaches for relaxed layers with a loose-fitting shacket. Sporty trainers are also a must to complete any laid-back look. We also couldn’t help but notice the cute water bottle that she’s carrying - always good to stay hydrated.
