Snake print meets faux leather in this high-waisted silhouette. The mini flare is also a fun retro detail.

These boxy trousers are seriously so cute—the only problem with 'em? You won't be able to choose a fave color; I know I couldn't!
After you've gotten yourself some black leather pants, add a rich brown version to the mix, too. A pair like these will make your fashion heart melt, guaranteed.

This army green is giving. Loving the huge cargo pockets on this statement-making high-waisted pant.
We love a look that can instantly work for both the office and a night out on the town. This deep khaki-hued pair in faux leather is definitely that girl.
This espresso color is making me want a good ole drink from Starbs and I'm not even a coffee drinker. If you're looking for something super sleek, then here's your winner.
Pleather's never looked better. ICYMI, wide leg pants are all the rage RN. Style these with a fluffy crop top and some strappy heels for a fun night out.
Break up a leather tuxedo look with your fave top! Then, style with chunky gold accessories for a stand out look. They definitely won't miss ya in this fiery red pants and the equally fierce matching shacket.
If you're all about building a minimalist wardrobe, these trousers with a decorative seam and versatile belt are an absolute must. How pretty is this grayish taupe hue?
You're gonna wear this olive green pair all fall, winter, and spring (maybe even summer, depending how hot temps get or if you'll be in A/C!). They're made from super smooth vegan material that'll feel luxurious against your skin, and the trouser silhouette would look equally great with stiletto boots or some sparkly sandals.
If you're obsessed with glossy materials, then these patent leather pants are def calling your name. According to reviews, the shiny faux leather style is "phenomenal" IRL, and they'll fast become a wardrobe go-to. P.S. They're also available in the prettiest plum color!
How cute is this pale matcha color?! I can see you killin' this style with a head-to-toe monochromatic look.
Talk about a glowing review: people absolutely rave about this saucy, polished style. Don't take it from us, though. Just take a look at this gushing reviewer's take on these stunners: "These are the best leather pants ever! I've worn them to a few concerts. They keep me warm while not making me overheat in the LA weather. I'm usually a size 8 or 10 but these pants are surprisingly very stretchy and size 6 fits me perfect. Too long for the 5'3 girlies but you can get them tailored. Very good quality, worth the money. (PS: They don't make a squeaky sound when walking, and they don't smell like plastic.)"
Genuine leather and a fun inset printed design makes for a one-of-a-kind gem that absolutely belongs in your closet. We're sure this unique style will sell out soon, so don't say we didn't tell ya...
Apparis is known for apparel that's reliably edgy and cool AF. Needless to say, these mid-rise pants are kinda a must-have, especially if you adore an elastic waistband (hello, comfort!) and crave neutral color options, as these come in black and cream in addition to this gorge cocoa shade.
Everyone needs a basic pair of black leather pants, faux or not. Build out your wardrobe with this sleek vegan take on the popular piece that's currently on sale!
Love a wintery white, cream, and grey palette in chilly weather? If so, this straight leg, super-stretchy faux leather pair is right up your alley. You'll also appreciate the elegant matte finish!
