Ashley Graham Is Proof That You Need a Pair of Leather Jeans In Your Closet ASAP

When it comes to building the ultimate wardrobe, fashion essentials like a perfectly fitted white T-shirt or a chic pair of jeans are game changers. Don’t believe us? Just take a look at Ashley Graham.

While promoting the new season of America’s Next Top Model in New York City, the model/body positive activist reminded us just how important it is to have basic items that you can easily mix and match — like her fierce High Rise Super Skinny Black Leather Jeans by J Brand. On Monday, Graham was spotted in the exact same jeans twice, however each time she had a completely different look.

For her first look, the bombshell dressed up the curve-hugging jeans with a striped off-the-shoulder top and black heels. Very model chic, as you can see below.

Then, she was spotted in the same jeans again while leaving The Daily Show — only this time, she dressed them down a bit with a black T-shirt and ankle booties, giving off a completely different vibe.

Dressed up or down, we cannot deny these leather pants look amazing. Plus, they match with absolutely anything. Now, that is what you call a fashion investment.

Graham's exact pair retails for a whopping $998, which we totally get is a hefty splurge. So, we decided to round up a few more similar-looking cost-friendly options below as well.
