Heidi Klum and Anne Hathaway Found Leather Pants That Actually Look Comfy — Try the Trend from $30

Edgy. Cool. Comfortable? We wouldn’t have thought leather pants could be all three — but Heidi Klum and Anne Hathaway just proved us completely wrong.

While some may look at leather pants and think of nothing but Ross Geller’s infamous moment on Friends, they’re actually a trendy closet staple during the cooler months. Take Klum’s recent black-and-white look on the way to America’s Got Talent, for example — she teamed cropped, wide-leg leather trousers with a white tank, black blazer with padded shoulders, black-and-white satchel, and black suede booties.

Hathaway chose a more moto-inspired form of leather pants in New York, wearing high-waisted trousers with angled zip pockets and quilted details and a striped button-down shirt. She finished the look with vibrant accessories, including an on-trend heart-shaped purse and patent leather slingback heels.

In both cases, Klum and Hathaway proved that leather pants can actually be comfortable, thanks to their swingy, wide-leg silhouette and higher waistband. And they’re not alone — Hilary Duff, Michelle Obama, and Olivia Wilde have all rocked wide-leg leather pants, too. The wider leg makes these leather pants equal parts rebellious and refined, and they can be dressed up or down and worn from day to night. 

If you’ve refrained from wearing skin-tight leather in the past, these flared leather styles are bound to call your name. And thanks to Amazon’s wide selection of options, you can choose from tons of fashionable faux leather pants from brands like Joe’s Jeans and Commando starting at just $30.
