Indeed, leather pants are currently trendy, but Elsa Hosk understands that they appear most stylish when paired *this way*.

      In the last month, friends, friends of friends, and family have asked me if leather pants are in style. Without any doubt, I've responded, "Yes. Next question." They are so trendy that I've noticed them increasingly among the most fashionable individuals I follow. Hailey Bieber recently wore a straight-leg pair on her Tokyo trip, and Miley Cyrus displayed a wide-leg style on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Now, Elsa Hosk is also embracing this trend, showcasing a slim-fitting pair and confirming it's one of the top winter styles. She even believes there's an optimal way to style them.

      Yesterday, Hosk posted a series of photos on Instagram, each featuring an all-black outfit that included a fitted black leather jacket, wide-leg black leather pants, pointed-toe pumps, and ALO's new bucket bag.

      Regarding Elsa Hosk: she wore a Gucci by Tom Ford jacket and an ALO Mini Balance Bag priced at $1200. As previously mentioned, leather pants are a staple for anyone wanting to exhibit good taste this winter. However, they can come off as outdated or excessively edgy if not styled properly. If anyone knows how to wear them fashionably now and in 2026, it’s Hosk.

      First, take note of the type of leather pants she chose: fitted at the waist and relaxed toward the legs. The slightly wide-leg hem adds a modern flair, making her classic black pumps appear youthful and chic rather than merely formal or basic. Additionally, her sleek and minimalist leather jacket—lacking gold or silver hardware, featuring a cinched waist and a turned-up collar—completes the ensemble perfectly. Whether you already possess black leather pants and need new styling ideas or are looking to acquire a pair for your winter wardrobe, consider Hosk's outfit when you get dressed. If you're eager to shop, continue scrolling for the finest black leather jackets and pants available.
