Alexander Wang Leather: Jackets, Trousers, Skirts and Dresses
Alexander Wang leather runs through the whole wardrobe this season: a distressed moto jacket with matching trousers and hoodie, cropped and padded leather jackets, a leather blazer and button-down shirt, a faux fur trimmed mini skirt and a ruched strapless mini dress. See them all on the Alexander Wang edit at Coveti, and read our general guide to leather trousers for women for the wider trend.
Why leather works in this wardrobe
Leather is the fastest way to make a plain outfit look finished. A pair of leather trousers does the job of a statement piece while acting like a neutral: black leather goes with a grey hoodie, a white shirt and a tweed jacket alike.

How to wear Alexander Wang leather
For day, pair them with a fitted knit, a cropped jacket and a flat shoe. For evening, add a strapless top and a heel. Alexander Wang shows leather head to toe this season, a distressed leather pant with the matching moto jacket and hoodie, which works if the textures stay the same and the colour stays black.
How does Alexander Wang leather fit?
Leather gives a little with wear, so a pair should feel close but not tight when new. Straight and relaxed cuts are the easiest to wear. Alexander Wang sizes on a US scale. On its own size chart US 0 is UK 4, US 4 is UK 8 and US 8 is UK 12, and the letter sizes run XXS (US 00) to XL (US 14). Coveti lists every piece in UK sizes, converted from that chart.
Caring for leather
Leather needs a specialist leather clean. Hang trousers by the waistband away from heat and direct sunlight, and let any rain dry naturally.
Alexander Wang leather around the world
In London and New York leather trousers are a winter staple worn with boots. In the Gulf they are an evening choice in the cooler months, paired with a light top. In Paris and Milan they are worn with tailoring, a blazer and a crisp shirt.
Three ways to wear leather
Head to toe
Wear the Distressed Leather Pant in black, the Distressed Leather Moto Jacket in black and the Oversized Graphic Cropped Tee in washed black. One texture, one colour, one plain tee.
Soft and hard
Wear the Distressed Leather Pant in black, the Double Collar Long Sleeve V-Neck Sweater in light blush and the Distressed Leather Hoodie in black. A soft knit balances the leather.
Evening
Wear the Leather Mini Skirt with Faux Fur Trim in black, the Cropped Sleeveless Top in black and the Leather Blazer in black. Keep the leather black and the shoe sharp.

Frequently asked questions
Are leather trousers in style?
Yes. Search interest in leather pants for women peaks from November to January, and straight relaxed cuts are the current shape.
What do you wear with leather trousers?
A fitted knit and a cropped jacket for day; a strapless top, a heel and a small bag for evening.
Do leather trousers stretch?
Real leather softens and gives a little with wear, so buy a close fit rather than a loose one.
How do I clean leather trousers?
Use a specialist leather cleaner only. Never machine wash them.
Should I size up in leather trousers?
The brand gives no sizing advice for its leather pant, so take your usual size; the leather will soften with wear.
