The Leather Look: How to Wear Coated Denim

Myra Gorostiaga

29, social media analyst, Singapore

Why She Wasn't Crazy About Coated Denim
"I tried on a pair before, and they bunched up in strange places," Gorostiaga says. "I have hips and kind of a flat butt, so fit is very important."

Why She Loves It Now
Once she found the right size, Gorostiaga loved the versatility of her coated jeans. "These are comfortable and look like leather pants. Jeans can be expensive, so I also like the value: I can wear these to work and dress them up for night."
