Amal Clooney layers up against the cold in cosy tartan jacket, leather trousers and chic biker boots - her casual-chic look is the perfect elevated every day wear

Changing it up from her usual business-chic and glamorous red carpet looks, Amal Clooney stepped out in a casual outfit to battle the cold back in 2018. We love her cosy tartan jacket and leather trousers combination - and her chic biker boots are about to become our go-to autumn footwear.

While we love when celebrities dress up in all of their finery to walk the red carpets at award shows and film premieres, it's their day-to-day, off-duty outfits we're most interested in - because while we'd love to go shopping in a ballgown, it's a lot more practical to recreate our favourite celebs' more laid-back looks instead.

So while we adored Amal Clooney's butter-yellow dress that she wore at this year's Cannes Film Festival, it's her more casual leather trousers and biker boots combo from 2018 that we're recreating this autumn.

Elevating the timeless look of black skinny jeans, Amal stepped out in a pair of utilitarian-inspired leather trousers whose legs were lined with practical flap pockets and boasted a flattering, form-hugging silhouette.

She was years ahead of the trend with these stunning trousers as we're now seeing leather replace denim when it comes to elevated casual wear. Tonnes of celebrities, from Kate Moss to Duchess Sophie, have been spotted in chic leather trousers this year, with the material becoming an elevated and sophisticated alternative to the more laid-back look of jeans - though a good pair of denim jeans is always going to be a winter wardrobe staple.

To battle the March chill, Amal layered a thick, red tartan jacket over her cropped black T-shirt, with the zip-up style's structured collar, leather flap pockets and slightly-fuzzy fabric creating a casual and cosy look that we love.

Leaning into the more laid-back feel, Amal opted for a pair of chunky lace-up boots to finish off her outfit and let the hem of her trousers fall over the top of the ankle boots.

The boots boasted a comfortable block heel that's as perfect for walking long distances in as it for adding a chic though comfortable touch to any date-night look too. The lace-up style adds so much texture to the outfit, with the sleek leather complimenting her trousers beautifully while also elevating her tartan coat.

Accessorising her look, Amal kept things practical and threw on a slouchy knitted beanie to battle the cold weather. The black winter hat is an ideal addition to any autumn capsule wardrobe, helping to keep you warm while also making sure that your hair isn't left overly windswept - especially if you've got super long strands like Amal does!
