One of the trickiest trends of the year - not least because of their
'sausage leg' and 'lady of the night' connotations - fashion's movers
and shakers are loving leather-look trousers this autumn.
New York's current street style guru,
Miranda Kerr
, stepped out in leather trousers and a host of chic accessories this autumn, with son, Flynn, in tow.
Luxe leather was the order of the day at
Valentino
's A/W '12 show; with the texture trend extending from trousers to full-on jumpsuits.
Sticking to his signature style,
Gareth Pugh
's A/W '12 collection saw models encased in
tight leather trousers and much structured, dark tailoring on top.
Navy and red stripes marry well with leather drainpipe trousers on this Milan S/S '13 show goer.
Not one to shy away from the more 'out-there' end of the trend spectrum, pop star
Rihanna
embraced the tricky, wide-leg leather trouser look when in New York this winter.
Alexander Wang
showcased some leather-panelled, tapered
trousers, cut neatly to sit on the models' ankles, in his A/W '12
collection.
Derek Lam
channelled cowboy chaps, and offset them against
delicate sandals and plain tops, for his monochrome-hued A/W '12
collection.
Model
Jessica Hart
teamed her leather trousers with Breton stripes
and a slouchy trench coat, for a modern take on a couple of classics.
