In case you had hopes of slipping into something a little more breathable next autumn, fergetit. J Brand's latest apparel collection confirms what we already suspected: the pant of choice for the foreseeable future is the leather trouser. The good news it that it seems to be evolving into silhouettes beyond "painted on"— boyfriend jeans and roomy track pants with a cheerfully elastic waistband make cameos in the Fall 2013 line up. The material also manifests in just about every other garment imaginable, from blazers and vests to one standout pink moto jacket. Check it out after the jump.
