Leather leggings

[Ujjayi]

I think I want a pair but I have my concerns. I wore coated black skinnies last year which DH nicknamed my Dell'Ollio pants . Are leather leggings even worse?

I really love this look from Baukjen. Which is the way I would style them too.

If it is of any use, I am 43 and a size 10.

What sort of thing are we talking, big half tucked shirt type affair?

Polished is Kensington/St Germain. Loose Women is Essex.

Define matchy matchy please ... Am worried now

Am wondering too what qualifies as matchy matchy?

Maybe it means too 'done', you know - full face of slap and blown out hair and all that. Don't look like you're trying kind of thing.

All the loose women wear them with jazzy blouse and too much everything I think they look terrible. They are older woman in the media being a bit wacky. They are for young rock chicks who have just picked them up off the floor and crept out of the drummers flat I like them on young people though who can do flat shoes and no make up but with heels and a nice clutch they are ageing

Bloody hell noddy, I'm going to stick that on my wardrobe as a reminder of what not to wear

If I ever go out looking like that I give anyone who sees me permission to give me a slap.

Hmmm, well yes, that's a styling issue...
I'll see your Cilla and raise you a Martha Stewart

yikes

Wow I need to bleach my eyes after seeing cilla and that one noddy put up

Thanks Noddy and Merriboo, you've just completely put me off leather leggings and saved me a shedload of ££££

I love mine, usually wear with oversized shirt and flat rockstuds.

I doubt anyone here is in Martha and Cilla's age range.

It's a bit like letting the queen putting you off wearing tweed...

Martha's 71? I think she looks really good at that age. good for her.

I had to look twice at the last one noddy put up not distracted at all by the fit bloke oh no no

Oh FFS. I was just popping back to check the thread before purchasing said leggings...& then I spotted the Cilla link ??.

I tried on a faux pair in Zara today with zips at the ankle. They are stupidly flattering & £25. Would look fab with Converse & an oversized knit. The plan is to buy those to test the water & see how much I wear them before a major splurge on a leather pair.

Oooohhhh I've been thinking about hhis very same thing. I'm a size 14 though so worried about looking like a pair of black puddings

I just got a HelmutLang pair in TKMaxx. So excited!

Hi Ujjayi, The Zara leggings, would a size 10 be a small or a medium, do you think?

I'm a 10 and needed the medium in the Zara trouser version, not sure about the leggings though.

Sylviet medium in the Zara leggings is a 10 but I sized up to the large because I felt they were more flattering to my athletic legs.

I also bought a version from H&M which have a zip front (stupid iPad won't let me link for some reason). I need to decide between the two styles and return one pair. I like the fact that they feel more trouser and less legging like. They are also longer in the leg so you get a subtle crumpled look at the ankle.

Claxonia helmut lang ones???? Ohhhh which tk maxx and how much were they???

Was in the Croydon one, they were £160 in the clearance. Cannot put on any weight as they are a bit snug!
