I can’t be the only person going into winter already feeling signs of denim fatigue. All fall I’ve been wearing jeans day in and day out, first with T-shirts, tank tops, and lightweight jackets, and more recently, with chunky sweaters, leather or suede outerwear, and even big fluffy coats. They’re the go-to for a reason, but after a while, I always start to crave another pants style to replace them, if only just a few times a week. My solution will always be leather pants, and after scrolling through Hailey Bieber’s Instagram slideshow from her recent trip to Japan with Justin, I can already tell that we’re on the same wavelength. Like me, she’s opting for leather pants whenever her denim rotation needs to take five.
Specifically, Bieber wore a pair of straight-leg, but slightly tapered black leather pants while traveling in Tokyo, pairing them with a vintage Issey Miyake brown jacket that featured a funnel neck, pleated details, and black buttons. From there, she added a vintage Mercedes-Benz baseball cap, an oversized clutch by Phoebe Philo, wire-rim sunglasses, and simple black kitten heels.
