Hi! Please advise on how to wear leather pants with heels for a casual winter outing with my man and friends without looking like I tried tooooo hard. ~ Thanks Vania
Hello Vania,
I love your question because (faux) leather pants are one of my “must have” wardrobe items. I actually purchased my pair on eBay for $8.63 including shipping. It has this subtle wet look that is perfect for a date night out with your man or a girls night out. But don’t worry about looking like you tried too hard. Leather pants are easy to dress up or down for multiple of occasions. See out tips: How to Wear Leather Pants

Casual Chic
This is one of my favorite looks for a casual night of fun. Whether you’re catching a movie, sipping a Macchiato, or just bar hopping, this outfit will keep you sexy and warm. I love mixing a different type of leather with another texture of leather. It simply goes together without trying too hard. If you do not have a leather jacket, I believe any bomber jacket would do.
Glam Rock
Pops of color should not be held back even if you’re dealing with leather. This outfit is glamorous with an artsy twist. A blazer can instantly bring a leather pants outfit to a whole new level. I can see this outfit being worn to an art gallery opening downtown, to a party or a networking event.
Lady b Good
Being a lady does not have to take a backseat to all the Rock Goddesses. Be a lady dressed in leather pants. Do it sensibly in neutral tones that compliment each other. Keep the look classic overall with minimal flash. You want the statement piece in your outfit to be the leather pants.
There are so many more ways to rock leather pants than what I listed above. I hope you can experiment and pick a style that fits you best. It is fun to try things on and make it work. Have fun!
