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

Blonde I ordered and returned those ones. Lovely lovely quality, but too straight (as opposed to skinny) for me, and I didn't like that thy weren't khaki/olive and weren't brown, more an in between sludge colour Sad.

I wonder if leather legging will be a one-season wonder or be in next year? I will obv be wearing mine anyway (if I find any to keep), but I wonder if I will be deeply unfashionable in the process...

Hi Hopefully - I've followed your leather legging saga! Am Autumn like you, maybe we should go 50/50 on a pair on a timeshare basis Grin. I think ASOS had some oxblood ones for around 120, but they looked a bit short and possible iffy front pockets.

blondassassin · 01/11/2012 19:10

ooh am excited to see latest ones

I have just tried them on, and they are looking promising! Need to do it properly in daylight tomorrow.

I got some pleather pannelled leggings from h and m last year in the sale: it resolved my worries about sweaty nethers and they're also quite flattering due to pannelling. I haven't taken the plunge into real leather leggings yet ...

scripsi · 01/11/2012 21:40

(should say that the h and m ones are pannelled with pleather and also jersey, so around your nether regions there is jersey not pleather)

I bought these yesterday.

Not sure if they'll be too wide at the bottom but they were a bargain.

ToothGah · 06/11/2012 19:42

Oh they arrived! They are brilliant! Bit short but I'm wearing them with boots so it doesn't matter :)

ToothGah · 06/11/2012 19:42

And for £1.20 BNWT off eBay when they still have the £90 tag on I couldn't be more pleased!

I had a matt fake pair last winter wore loads and they were £18 from jane norman.Looked good with loose jumper and heeled boots

noddyholder · 06/11/2012 19:47

I also have jersey with leather stripe down side from h and m this year but haven't worn yet.

MABS · 07/11/2012 06:44

i love mine :)

Turns out the Mango ones are good. I am wearing them to a birthday dinner tomorrow night with a fitted cream arran jumper with black zips at the side, and black wedge ankle boots. Wish me luck!

Good luck Chances! I'm afraid I'd be more Kim Kardashian than anything more sophisticated in leather leggings. I'm slim with a 27 inch waist but massive hips and thighs so I'm envious of people who can wear such things. Skinny jeans don't even really work on me. I'm doing the leather pencil skirt this winter instead and it has revolutionised my wardrobe.
