Leather skinnies. Am I too late? SOB

Went for dinner with a v trendy friend last night. She had the World's Best Trousers on. They were skinny cut softest finest leather but she paid ££££ for them in Zadig & Voltaire in Paris.
I am now obsessed with getting some leather skinny trews. Zara has sold out. Everywhere seems to have sold out in my size. HELP. Am I too late, was everyone else on the leather skinny bandwagon since August?

I had a leather look pair last winter loved them although more like leggings. Everyone admired and thought were real. Jane Norman £20 the shame!

Ok noddy I'll level with you. I'm worried that pleather will be sweaty in The Area. Did that happen to you

No they were fine. Zara have some real and fake. Indon't wear enough to pay ££££

arf at The Area.

I want some too - I had some pleather leggings last year but too cheap and want some decent ones now.

tak1ngchances · 28/10/2012 09:47

Zara are all sold out, that's the problem. They were around the 200 mark I think which is just about acceptable if I give up some other vices for a while...

Curse you all and your ability to wear black. I loathe black, and it looks shit on me. Have you tried to find leather leggings for under £300 in not-black?

MoomieAndFreddie · 28/10/2012 18:38

I LOVE them too, have seen them on women looking amazing. I have a pair but have never worn them as i dont know what top would one wear with them??

noddyholder · 28/10/2012 18:42

Fine knits and loose linen t shirts? I have a fakey leggings pair which also look good with big jumpers

Avenue57 · 28/10/2012 18:52

H&M and have the best ones again this year - you must go in and buy - ranging from £14.99 to £24.99 - I'm buying some (more) tomorrow!

MoomieAndFreddie · 28/10/2012 18:54

hmmm yeah that could work noddy, would you wear anything underneath the top?

www.hm.com/gb/product/03178?article=03178-B nothing weird about THIS model

monstersX2 · 28/10/2012 19:12

I would really love a pair but daren't. Can i ask those of you who have them, in inches, how big are your thighs??

MaureenCognito · 28/10/2012 19:15

lol you should see my new look newton bomb trousers - 6 quid as yet unworn

tak1ngchances · 28/10/2012 20:17

The girl last night was wearing them with a grey jersey t-shirt and a slouchy black cashmere jumper. And sky high ankle boots. All v cool? I think they look better with casual slouchy stuff rather than fancy/dressed up things which can go tarty cheap v quickly
