Follow our guide and discover all our seasonal delights…
LEATHER PANTS
Supple and synonymous with comfort, leather pants adapt to all styles and trends. Straight cut or slim, in lambskin or cowhide, nappa or textured finish, oversized pants or leggings… Whatever the cut, material, finish, or volume, leather pants will find a place of choice in your wardrobe.
STRAIGHT-LEG LEATHER PANTS
Straight-leg leather pants are the perfect blend of refinement and comfort. As their name suggests, straight-leg pants offer a straight shape from the waist to the ankles. Comfortable for everyday wear, this cut is the most classic and widespread, particularly because it suits many body types.
SLIM-FIT LEATHER PANTS
Slim-fit leather pants are tapered at the thighs, knees, and ankles. This style highlights the silhouette.
PLEATED LEATHER PANTS
Pleated leather pants feature a straight cut with the distinct detail of pleats at the waist. Sometimes, cuffs at the ankles are added. Pleated pants are largely borrowed from menswear and have been a symbol of elegance for many seasons.
STRETCH LEATHER PANTS
A true star in the leather pants family, stretch leather pants stretch very little. The price is a bit higher, but they are much more comfortable to wear.
Whether straight-cut, slim-fit, or pleated, leather pants can have a high or low waist depending on the desired style. They can also be belted at the waist and feature numerous pockets, whether real or trompe l'oeil. Women's leather pants are most often made of lambskin or sheepskin, primarily to gain suppleness and maintain comfort and durability over time.
HOW TO WEAR LEATHER PANTS?
Day or night, leather pants offer multiple styling possibilities. Feeling casual? Opt for slim-fit leather pants with a white round-neck t-shirt and a pair of flat sandals. In a chic mood? Pair black straight-leg leather pants with a white shirt and a blazer. Sharpen your look by accessorizing your outfits, even the most classic ones. And what if you prefer life in color? While iconic black remains an undeniable safe bet, it's high time to add some color to your wardrobe. Leather pants come in a fashionable color palette to perfectly pair with all your seasonal basics, like vibrant red, deep blue, or concrete gray from Oakwood, and neutral, soft tones from La Canadienne with French manufacturing…
LEATHER LEGGINGS
Leather leggings, or ultra-skinny pants, highlight the silhouette. They are a true second skin. Their elastic waist will provide all the necessary comfort. It's impossible to overlook this essential wardrobe item that perfectly combines glam, rock, and absolute comfort. Leather leggings are minimalist and pocketless. <3 Team's favorite: The Stéphanie model leather leggings from our brand La Canadienne. Absolute comfort and a great price guaranteed.

AND FOR YOU GENTLEMEN
Leather pants are not just for women and bikers. Quite the opposite! Gentlemen, add character to your outfits by opting for leather pants. In lambskin, they will provide everyday comfort. In buffalo leather, they will offer more robustness. In stretch leather, more modernity and flexibility in movement. Men's leather pants also come in a wide range of colors; brown is gaining real interest.
WHICH PANT CUT FOR WHICH BODY TYPE?
Leather adapts to all body types and silhouettes. Here are our tips for choosing the best leather pants for the season. Are you rather short? Opt for straight-cut leather pants to lengthen and stretch the silhouette. Also prefer high waists. Are you rather tall? Favor slim-fit leather pants and/or leather leggings that will highlight your silhouette. Are you rather slim? Straight-cut pants, slim-fit, or leggings; you have plenty of choices to enhance your look. Are you rather curvaceous? Shiny leather adds more volume than matte leather, keep that in mind depending on your desires. Don't want to highlight your hips? Pleated pants will be the perfect ally, thanks to their straight cut not tapered at the knees. Also prefer high-waisted straight-cut pants that will emphasize your waist rather than your hips. La Canadienne distributes many premium brands and its own collection, including French and European manufacturing, ranging from size 34 to size 54. You will find what you are looking for based on your body type.
