How to Look Chic in Leather Pants Like Naya Rivera

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — leather pants can be a tad overwhelming. Pile on too much accessories and you’ll look skanky. Wear it with the wrong clothes and you just might end up looking like you are a biker (nothing wrong with it if you really want to make a statement, but for everyday wear, it is definitely too much).

The trick to wearing leather pants is in Naya Rivera’s outfit for a trip to the Crumbs Bake Shop.

See the color palette? She kept it minimal. Black leather pants don’t look too austere when paired with a simple white sleeveless button-down top. You can’t go wrong with the black and white combo. When in doubt, go with the basics.

As for the accessories, Naya also kept it simple, opting only for a pair of cat sunnies, earrings, and a ring. The look is classy, too, thanks to the addition of a leather handbag and Christian Louboutin pumps.

This look is faultlessly polished, especially with the effortless-looking hair and classic makeup. You, too, can copy this look. Here are some coordinates inspired by Naya’s look:
