Julianne Moore perfected the leather-trouser look as she arrived at the Bottega Veneta Autumn/Winter 26/27 fashion show in Milan over the weekend. Not only did her elevated black shirt and leather trousers combination catch our eye, but the addition of white studded clogs was a playful finishing touch.
If you’ve spotted the rise in leather-look trousers and wanted to try out a pair for yourself, Moore’s styling combination is certainly one to note. Smart, elevated and in a monochromatic colour palette – this smart-casual outfit formula is an accessible entry to leather trouser styling.
