I am not sure. Oh man. I never had leather trousers before. They fit quite well but will they go baggy? Leather stretches, doesn't it. Aieeeee je ne sais pas

Leather is a bit prone to going baggy at the knees and bum. Get them as snug as possible so that when they 'relax' they aren't falling off you.

Pictures though. Bet they look fab

LFCisTarkaDahl · 01/11/2012 18:14

They cant be washed.

They are ming personified. And went out in the 80's when I had a talcum powdered Sandy type pair (and looked like an idiot honestly).

Opposite of Nike - Don't Do It !

tak1ngchances · 01/11/2012 18:15

Eh they have come back in LFC dear.

Well, it depends, if I wore mine from my teens which are about 3 sizes too small I WOULD look mad Wink

Think how nice and toasty they'll be all winter! Also edgy realness!

tak1ngchances · 01/11/2012 18:26

The ones that are in now are v finely cut stretch leather that fit like skinny jeans. Which is what I've purchased...but being cheap I am worried they will go baggy and I'll look like I'm wearing bin liners.
I may post a picture later if I get tipsy the mood takes me

Maybe we should all post pictures of ourselves wearing our leather trews this evening!

Sounds a bit 'Culty'......

MrsCampbellBlack · 01/11/2012 18:31

I've got leather leggings and they're pretty tight. I noticed ASOS have got some online too for similar price to the mango ones.

tak1ngchances · 01/11/2012 18:32

MrsCB. How tight is tight? Could you be persuaded to post a pic? I will but waist down only (Jesus that sounds dodgy)

OP posts:
tak1ngchances · 01/11/2012 18:33

That whole POST sounds dodgy. Maybe leather leggings are better than leather trousers. Thinking...

LFCisTarkaDahl · 01/11/2012 18:36

They keep coming in.

Doesn't make it right.

Do none of you have remotely sweaty nethers Hmm

How can you wear something on bare skin that cant be washed !?!

tak1ngchances · 01/11/2012 18:45

Mine are fully lined

OP posts:
LFCisTarkaDahl · 01/11/2012 18:46

So you take the liking out and was that ? Confused

LFCisTarkaDahl · 01/11/2012 18:46

Wash

tak1ngchances · 01/11/2012 18:51

Just how sweaty are you LFC? And don't you have underwear?

OP posts:
MrsCampbellBlack · 01/11/2012 18:52

these

mrscumberbatch · 01/11/2012 18:54

Lol @ chatting about sweaty nether regions on Style & Beauty.

Hopefully · 01/11/2012 18:55

Proper leather is breathable. I'll grant that pleather may get a weeny bit on the sweaty side though.

I am currently a leather legging connoisseur, having ordered and sent back approx 5 pairs for not being perfect. I like them with a tshirt and blazer, I have decided.

blondassassin · 01/11/2012 18:55

How long are they please? I'm 5'8" with 33" inside leg & really fancy a pair but don't want ankle skimmers. Would ideally not have black either but dark green or brown...have a feeling these do not exist under 500 pounds. Hmm

tak1ngchances · 01/11/2012 18:55

MrsCB they are gorgeous but £££. No can do. Hence the Mango purchase

OP posts:
Hopefully · 01/11/2012 18:57

Blonde I can absolutely guarantee that non-black real leather definitely doesn't exist sub-£400.

MrsCampbellBlack · 01/11/2012 18:57

I didn't pay that much but that's the fit I like.

Hopefully how were the latest pair?

blondassassin · 01/11/2012 18:59

I would ideally like these, but at about a third of the price!

Hopefully · 01/11/2012 19:00

MrsCB I have a pair sat upstairs waiting to be tried on, they came today. I may blog them tomorrow to canvass for opinions Grin
