This Is the Bella Hadid Way to Wear Patent Leather Pants
Allow us to introduce you to patent leather pants—a shiny, perhaps squeaky, but undeniably cool fashion item that has slowly but surely taken over the street style scene. With even the quickest scroll through recent New York Fashion Week pictures, one thing becomes very clear: Celebs are here for this trend, with model Bella Hadid being the most recent example.
Hadid teamed her burgundy patent leather pants with more loose-fitting relaxed pieces: a cropped tee, a Y/Project denim jacket, and an oversize flannel shirt from up-and-coming designer Tyler Lambert. (Side note: Remember this name because he's about to blow up.)
Lambert, a Midwest-born designer (who, by the way, just turned 21 per a recent Instagram post), already has a strong celeb fanbase, including the likes of Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Jasmine Sanders, and now, Bella Hadid. His clothing line, which includes everything from hand-distressed denim to vintage (hand-dyed) flannels, is "inspired by bringing back 'the old' and making it better," as his site says. And we must say, he's definitely succeeding at doing just that. Now, read on to see Bella Hadid's full look, and then shop the Lambert flannel for yourself.
