Don’t get me wrong—denim can look polished. However, if you’re aiming for that understated, old-money energy, there’s a pant trend that feels more elevated: suede. Since November, the fashion crowd has been embracing the luxe staple on repeat, often pairing it with equally elegant footwear—kitten-heeled, pointed-toe pumps. Elsa Hosk is among the style insiders championing the combination, and, as she does best, she makes it look effortless.
Recently, Hosk posted on Instagram a chocolate-brown monochromatic ensemble featuring a funnel-neck leather bomber jacket and wide-leg suede trousers. For accessories, she chose a leopard-print tote and snake-embossed, kitten-heeled pumps, keeping the color palette cohesive and adding a layer of richness.
At Who What Wear, every editor agrees that Hosk is the ultimate style muse. Whatever she wears always looks undeniably cool and sets the tone for what’s next. The suede-pants-with-pumps formula is no exception. It’s only a matter of time before we see the pairing everywhere. If you want to be ahead of the curve and channel the look, keep scrolling to shop the best suede pants and kitten-heeled pumps.
