Joseph

Joseph has long been known for creating some of the best leather trousers in the business. This particular style, the Den is backed onto stretch-cotton to give it a flexible, contour-hugging fit that always feels comfortable. Practical points aside, they’re also cut to a timeless straight-leg shape that’ll look great with pretty much anything.

Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta

Possibly the most anticipated piece of the entire season, Bottega Veneta’s trompe l'oeil trousers have finally arrived. A seamless showcase of the brand’s unrivalled craftsmanship, they look just like a pair of love-worn denim jeans, but look a little closer to see they’re actually made from ultra-supple leather. Invest now, treasure forever.

They're made from a low-waste blend of 50 per cent repurposed leather and 50 per cent stretch-infused synthetic fibres, so feel just like your favourite pair of jeans. Cut to sit snugly on the waist and fall in straight legs, they'll prove just as versatile, too.
