From Hermès to Jil Sander and Givenchy, many high-end designers have been showcasing head-to-toe leather looks on their recent menswear runways. Leather jackets and coats were not a surprise obviously as they have been a wardrobe staple for men but what about leather pants? 

The thought of Men’s leather pants might trigger a horrific discomfort and fear of sweat and tightness around the area – remember the epic (and tragic) Friends episode where Ross couldn’t get those pants back on, making him pathetically trapped in his date’s bathroom? 

These horror stories and anecdotes might make men’s leather pants an intimidating contestant when it comes to styling them. But if done the right way, and with the right pair of men’s leather pants, you can achieve the effortless and polished look that you strive for. 

Need more convincing? Justin Bieber whipped out his baggy men’s leather pants pulling off his best street style look yet. We’re not sure we can give you more evidence if you’re not already convinced but learning how to wear leather might be the best investment you make this year.
