They look nice on the model actually.

I retract my Ross of friends statement.

Not unless you are playing live at Wembly arena.

I have the TS pleather Skinnies from last year, wore them loads with slouchy jumpers or knitted tunic/dresses. With ballet flats or suede shoe boots. Love 'em. Very soft. And practical - wipe clean!

In August?!!! Sounds like a recipe for a sweaty crotch!!

You should def get skinny, tight ones in a dark colour though, and wear them with a loose top and a pair of fuck-me boots! Think Emma from 'Four Rooms'

I have a pair of leather fronted leggins (side zip so very plain - no longer available) and they are very easy to wear and pack and for cooler weather travel. The main problem is cleaning -they have to be specialist dry cleaned - but then the front is wipable. The knees have stayed bagfree and the fit is still glove like after nearly a year of intermittant use. Be aware that the Next pair Amber linked to is also a mix of stretch fabric and leather so will wear out sooner than all leather. I am not at all fashion aware so can only comment on the practicalities!!

Those Next ones look like those wet look leggings you can get for fraction of cost

Where does the 'jersey' come into it? Suspicious.
