Move Over, Jeans—The Chicest People I Know Are Wearing This Expensive-Looking Pant Trend With Boots

The weather across the country is cooling down, which means wardrobes are changing and people are starting to pull out their boots, coats, and pants. Instead of classic jeans, though, fashion people are now opting for leather pants and pairing them with boots. Naomi Watts is one example of someone who has recently made this style swap.

Today, while in Paris, Watts was spotted walking the streets in a leather-pants outfit. She specifically wore a cropped, baggy pair, almost like culottes, that she styled with a black bomber jacket, tall combat boots, and Valentino's Panthea shoulder bag.

On Naomi Watts: Valentino Panthea Shoulder Bag ($3800)

The British actress, set to star in the new Hulu series All's Fair, could have opted for black jeans to complete her monochromatic look, which would have looked chic. However, the leather pants took it to the next level, making her outfit look fresh, sophisticated, and expensive. While Watts styled them with tall combat boots, this pant style also looks great with pointed-toe ankle boots, slingbacks, and open-toe heels, as seen on the style set during Milan and Paris Fashion Week. That said, if you're interested in refreshing your wardrobe ahead of winter, keep scrolling because we've rounded up the best leather pants and boot pairings.
