The cost-per-wear of these imitation leather pants from H&M (last worn here) is mere pennies now which proves that there is no correlation between the original price of an item and its versatility.
I fully expected to retire these pants after one or two wears but find myself reaching for them repeatedly. The color, a dark olive green, is a more muted alternative to black.

It’s been ages since I last shared a WIFW (not for want of trying; there were many thwarted efforts) so I thought I’d do one for these well-worn new closet darlings.
Wear it with a relaxed tee (printed might be better) and some pumps. Or wear it with booties and a denim top layered under a sweatshirt.

Also can’t go wrong with a drape-y blouse, large scarf, and statement necklace.

“Camouflage” and leather pants go surprisingly well together.

Wear it as leggings under a dress and top it off with a layered necklace.
