Okay, I know there are plenty of people who will come for me when I admit that there's a fashion item even better than jeans, but hear me out. Jeans are definitely the backbone of my wardrobe most of the time, but lately, I've been putting them on hold for an item that's just as versatile, low-key, and cool as my beloved denim but much fresher and more current, in my humble opinion. The trend in question? Faux-leather pants. 

Leather pants have always been a winter staple in my book, and I can't imagine getting through the season without at least one go-to pair, but as we move toward spring, my obsession is only growing. I know I'm not alone, either. I have the intel that Who What Wear readers are buying the style in droves, and based on my own Instagram feed, the fashion crowd is also with me here. If you're ready to hop on the leather-trouser trend, I've put together an edit of the best faux-leather pants I'm eyeing at the moment.
