When winter winds have us in big wool sweaters, scarves, and furry boots, it’s important to not forget about the statement pieces that make any wardrobe sizzle. This season, look to quintessentially cool skinny pants in metallic, leather, animal and hot geometric prints. Seen on the runways at Balenciaga, Celine and Derek Lam, these fancy pants make for great holiday outfits. Although they are, no doubt, attention grabbing, they can be worn as basics and paired with almost anything. We picked a few styles that are sure to make you look and feel like a Canadian rockstar.
