Talk to me about LEATHER Leggings/Trousers

[AnaViaSalamanca]

Mainly how do you wear them?

Which brands are good (everything is bloody expensive)? Do you have to take care of them a lot? Do they keep their shape or stretch (like normal skinny jeans)?

I Had some from kaleidoscope about £200 which is guess is quite cheap for leather leggings. They stretched after first wear and I sent them back. I guess the expensive ones are better as I see people saying how great they are on here. I can’t afford those though so am making so with faux

I think they go with everything but if you aren't sure, maybe buy some faux ones first to see how much wear you get out of them, considering the £££ involved.

I bought a pair which are leather front and a stretch ponte material at the back, which made them cheaper and also more comfortable to wear.

I tend not to wear them if I'm going to be sat with my knees bent for the whole time, for fear of stretching them, and they've kept their shape well.

I like to dress them down a bit with e.g. a soft tshirt in warmer weather or a loose cashmere in winter.

I got some from ASOS in their January sale, reduced from £250 to £99

I’m 54 and a size 10, they are a really nice fit (similar to jeans) and high waisted which makes a lot of difference.

I still wouldn’t mind ideas on what to wear with them though, I’m at that age where I can’t do jumpers at the moment!
