It is reminiscent of the scandalous style of rock legends like Freddie Mercury, of the punk movement and wild times. And at the same time has something classic about it. The skintight lederhosen returns to the fashion stage this fall and will accompany us into winter too. Designers and fashion makers put trousers made of (artificial) leather in the limelight – as an everyday alternative to jeans. We present three styling variants here.

The skin-tight leather pants can be sporty styled in the spirit of work leisure. The following combination looks particularly casual: with black skinny leather pants (preferably made of imitation leather), you wear both a comfortable crewneck sweatshirt and sneakers that match the top. An oversize bomber jacket and a cap complete the sporty look. Apart from the lederhosen, you can play with color for the rest of the clothing. A mixture of bright and pastel colors looks particularly beautiful.

In order to style the lederhosen in everyday life, you need a certain sensitivity. After all, you don’t want to put on too much weight when shopping and doing other everyday activities. If you want to wear skinny leather trousers in everyday life, it is best to opt for elegant restraint. The best way to do this is to combine trousers with a classic turtleneck sweater in muted colors. High-quality materials such as cashmere or merino wool immediately make the look more serious. Both a trench coat and an oversized wool coat in beige, black or gray go well with this.

There’s nowhere better for skin-tight leather pants than at a party. So that the outfit does not look too much like vinyl and leather, you should deliberately play with a break in style. Model Stefanie Giesinger (26) shows us a possible combination on her Instagram channel: The former “GNTM” winner wears a high-necked, cropped blouse and filigree strappy high heels with leather pants.

Our recommendation: It is best to combine a wide-cut linen blouse in light tones with skinny leather pants. Gold or pearl jewelry upgrade the look. High-heeled shoes elongate your appearance and have a completely different effect on your appearance than shoes without heels.
