I love leather but can’t always afford the real thing. I have one pair of real leather pants and I have practically worn them out. I always turned my nose to coated jeans because I thought they were such a poor imitation, but my mind changed when I saw my friend Krystal wearing a pair last year. They were ah-mazing! They were super fitted, coated perfectly, and looked fantastic! I was sold! I asked her who they were by and she said J.Brand, so of course I had to score a pair! Unfortunately they were sold out in my size so I went with the Rag and Bone Coated Skinny and was very pleased. But this year was my year! I snagged the J.Brand Coated Skinny 40% off and have been wearing them ever since. The subtleness of coating is exactly what any minimalist dresser loves/needs and it adds a really nice touch to an otherwise simple look. So, if you can’t afford leather, don’t like leather, or just wanted a new look I suggested buying a pair of coated skinnies!
