Leather skinny trousers- how to style

[Suprima]

I am BACK in my leather skinny trousers after 2 years of miscarriage depression eating then happy chubby baby weight. I am DELIGHTED and so pleased I didn’t put them on Vinted.

They are mid-waisted, black button, black leather, skinny fit. I know flares and all things baggy are in, but I’m bloody wearing them

I used to wear them with a big pussybow blouse but looking back on pics…all looks bit frou frou. Looking to make them more utilitarian.

I want to buy a couple of tops to go with them- Uniqlo budget please- £20-40. One for dressing up, one for dressing down.

breastfeeding so no body/leotard jobs!

I wear mine with a baggy sweatshirt. Grey or black mainly. Ideally converse but often boots as the weather is so shit.

Might look good with an above knee jumper dress, chunky rather than body con

I forgot to mention that I’m 5 foot nothing so probably couldn’t pull this off. I’d look like I was wearing naff leather leggings and a tunic rather than artful layering

A plain black silk shirt to dress them up.

White t shirts and boyfriend style cardigan to make them more casual.

Cashmere tank or cami to dress them up and a sweatshirt to dress them down. Isabel Marant does fantastic sweatshirts.

I wear mine with a bum covering cotton h&m shirt & a cashmere v neck layered over the top. Or a cotton flannel shirt layered over a t shirt & a thermal vest.
Alternatively a cashmere slouchy v neck worn over a thermal that I can french tuck & the back falls down a little longer.
All with chunky trainers or boots.

For dress up a satin shirt with a lace edged camisole just peeping out. Or a silk/satin camisole under a lightweight jacket.
