Miranda Kerr pairs her leather trousers with a printed blouse

Leather trousers are chic and stylish, but the thought alone puts many women off them, so we've decided to share some tips on how to wear the tricky fashion trend.

Kendall Jenner may only be 18, but she is working the hell out of these trousers with a loose fitting vest and statement necklace.

But then we have Sofia Vergara who at 41 still looks amazing in her leather trousers with zipped up peplum jacket.

It's all about styling them to your personal preference and making sure you feel comfortable in them.

There's no doubt that a slim fitting leather trouser is going to be a lot more flattering, for any shape really, than a jogger style.

Heels are going to make your legs look a little leaner too, than flats, and will help you to carry yourself better as well.

When it comes to tops, it's all about considering your body shape. If you want to define the waist, with an hourglass figure, try a peplum top or jacket like Sofia.

If you're a boyish shape wear a loose fitting vest like Kendall, if you're a pear shape try a long fitting tunic that will help to cover your thighs.

Also, when you're shopping for the trousers, if you're conscious about a muffin top try to find a pair that sit higher on the waist.

And when it comes to making your whole self look smaller, follow Mirand Kerr and pair your outfit with a huge designer handbag (ok the designer part is optional). But a huge bag will make you look small in comparison. This may sound stupid, but Victoria Beckham has been doing it for years.
