Why you’re never too old to wear leather trousers – and the four most flattering styles to try now

Quoted from The Telegraph

“A straight or tapered, high-waisted, tailored-looking trouser is the fashion insider favourite that is most popular on the front row – all the best-dressed fashion editors were wearing them at the shows recently. It’s also, happily, flattering to all figures and the most versatile, looking as good with loafers and trainers as kitten heels or stilettos. “Your leather trousers must move when you move to look good over a certain age,” advises personal stylist Annabel Hodin. “The leather should be really soft so that you get that sensual, feminine feeling. The cut is very important.”

Hodin has a few ideas for making this version work for all eventualities: “I’d offset the toughness with a silky or satiny blouse,” she says. “Adding a blazer, khaki workman’s jacket or slim polo neck to a straight-leg style is a great yummy mummy look, while a bolder fashion take would be a tonal leather coat.

“What’s fantastic about leather trousers is they work for everything, from town to country, day to night – just don’t show acres of flesh, no matter what your age.”

And take Hodin’s final word of advice: “We need to get as far from the biker look as possible,” she emphasises. “If in doubt, step away.”
