Hot weather won’t stop Lainey Wilson from wearing an all-leather ensemble.
Despite the sweltering summer heat, the country superstar looked chic, cool and collected as she performed at the Today in a pair of black flared leather pants — her signature silhouette — and a matching leather vest with turquoise embroidery and fringe detailing.
The singer, 32, matched the look with turquoise accessories including a beaded necklace, a cowboy hat and an assortment of chunky rings. Her long, blonde hair was styled in loose waves.
As part of the Citi concert series, Wilson performed her hit song “Heart Like a Truck.” At one point, the singer brought a young fan on stage with her, who held her hand and serenaded her while the audience cheered.

Wilson’s bold leather bell bottoms were created by custom leather atelier By The Namesake. According to the website, the brand is “focused on reinventing the custom leather jacket through customization.”

Rosa Halpern, the founder and designer behind By The Namesake, tells PEOPLE that the singer’s pants were an imitation of Louisa’s label’s design.
“Working with Lainey and her team was an amazing experience because she has her signature look and knows what she wants to wear,” says Halpern. “It’s fun to take our signature style (Louisa’s) and dramatize them with extra flare (literally and figuratively!) which looks amazing on Lainey!”

“Her signature style exudes perfection in perfectly tailored leather, something she wears so easily,” the designer continues. “We’re so happy to see how comfortable she can move and perform in a variety of leather looks — whether it’s our custom leather pants or the Petit Prince jacket she wore to the ACMs earlier this year.”
Halpern also says leather pants are a must-have in everyone’s closet.
“Leather pants are a wardrobe staple because they can be dressed up seamlessly,” she says. “Especially when they’re black, you can wear them with ANYTHING and have a stylish outfit that’s comfortable and chic.”

Wilson previously told PEOPLE that she began developing her personal style after moving to Nashville to pursue music. “You have to do something outside the box to get noticed,” she says. “I thought, ‘What could I wear to make me feel like I could fight the whole damn world?’ For me, it was bell rings.”
The singer said her mum Michelle bought her her first pair of bell bottoms – with a blue leopard print – when she was 8 or 9 years old.

“It was to the point where my mom said, ‘Lainey, you have to take them off. We have to wash them,’ she recalled. “But I loved them. I loved how they made me feel. They made me feel sassy and like I could do anything.”

The Grammy winner is currently touring North America with her Country’s Cool Again tour, and earlier this month she was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, a prestigious country music organization.
“As a little girl, I never dreamed of my wedding day,” Wilson said in an emotional speech during the ceremony. “I didn’t dream about what song I would play at my wedding, I dreamed about this right here. I fantasized about what song I would play in the car if I had the chance.”
