Leather leggings-yes or no?

[Babouche]

I'm a skinny jeans wearer and am attracted to the leather leggings that seem to be in all the shops (well,would actually be faux leather if I bought any)
.How would you style them?Or are they just a fashion no-no?I'm a tallish size 10 but 40 with 3 under 4 ..

Depends. With good legs and the right foot wear I think they're great. And they wipe clean. Beware though, I had a plastic pair once when I was a goth and they were very sweaty.

I think you have to be careful... I'm 40 too and they can look a bit trashy, especially the faux ones. I'm on the fence on this one but have been lusting for ages so interested in opinions aswell!

I'm going to buy some, just don't know how to wear them!

I have some and like them with knitwear. So dressed down rather than up.

I've been looking at these to wear with knitwear and kimono tops. I had been hankering after Disco Pants but OH says I'm too old (almost 40!)

Can anyone recommend some good leather look leggings please?

I'd say no. Though I haven't spotted any in the shops and didn't know they were fashionable.

I love them but am not sure I can wear them. might try them on and see. would def wear with flat(ish) boots and knitwear rather than heels and croptop!

I have some coated black jeggings from.Dorothy Perkins last year that I love.
would love a rich chocolates coloured pair too if they do them

Agree nice with kimono type jackets like this

steinerino the ones I have tried on are in River Island and Dorothy Perkins,both had leather front panels and the back was thick legging material.Zara website has 3 leather-look styles too,I quite like the biker-type on there which they show with a simple grey sweatshirt.

Mine came from TopShop and I am planning on wearing them with a pretty blouse and heels, for evenings. So, just like jeans. And knitwear and ankle boots for day.

Yes!!
Am 37 and have a pair from Topshop
They are good with slouchy knits and heeled ankle boots by day and with loose pussy bow blouses and heels by night.

No.

Unless you want to look like Suzi Quattro.

Thanks BaboucheI will try DP and Zara and I think half thick material would be better (less sweaty).

And River Island!

no. unless you are so thin that you need assistance to look less thin. Then I think they could be perfect. Team with uggs if you would like to appear shorter.

Love that kimono MrsCB.

Honestly, unless you are wearing full on leather, I fail to see how they make you look like Suzi Q.

Steinarino - that kimono is so pretty isn't it.

I wore mine out with a cross over drapey silk shirt - looked nice I think. And flattering. I don't wear anything that makes me look fatter than I am.

If you want real leather - the Michael Kors ones are good from my-wardrobe and you can normally get good discount from them too.

Not for me, but only because I have heavy thighs and they just wouldn't do me any favours.

I love the look though. If I had lovely long lithe legs I'd be after a pair in dark brown. Real leather only though.
