Can we talk leather/pleather trousers and leggings please?

[ProperLavs]

I seem to remember ages ago there was a brand that many were raving about but can't for the life of me think what it is.

Who wears leather trousers or variants of? Can you recommend a make?

Is 50 too 'old' for all this malarky anyway?

Oh and I am 50.

Thanks expat I'll check river island.

I'm practically surgically attached to my H&M ones - they are fleece lined so very cosy and super tight. Wear in the day with slouchy jumpers and biker boots and then at night with drape tops and heels. Going to buy another pair. Can bung in washing machine at 30 then air dry,

Fleece lined!

You need TESCO yes really !!! £16 size comes up large they wash brilliantly and look amazing ! I bought the snakeskin ones too for £18 - 51 next bd

I'm not saying I agree with this... but I thought the general style rule was no (p)leather below the waist when you're over 30.

There are no such rules.

What? That's bonkers - never heard that and choosing not to listen to such nonsense. I am totally rocking them at 45 - I'm not saying I wear them with skin tight boob tubes - it's all about proportion and contrast. Nothing nicer imo than skin tight pleather bottoms with slouchy gorgeous knitwear, biker boots and a warm wool trench style coat.

Well i am wearing mine today. I have on my skinny coated biker leggings with a silk blouse and long cardigan. I am 50.
Eastlonder Think your comment is a bit provocative.

Maybe eastlondonerneeds to look at that thread (lighthearted} about all the other things us oldies shouldn't be doing.

What are the actual legs like? I'm quite muscly and sometimes can't get my thighs in skinny trousers if there's no give. We've got a River Island and a Next where I live but they're quite small shops.

I got the next ones in navy. I’m a 12 with chunky thighs (fat not muscle!!) and they fit really well and very comfortable. Probably shouldn’t wear them with my thighs but couldn’t care less!

Err I said I wasn't saying I agreed with it!! Jeez relax

I picked up the purple coated legging/jeans from Tesco today for £7 reduced in the sale. They are a lovely muted colour.

Ooh purple sounds nice - might look at those myself!

also in navy

Ah thanks, sold out online, will have a look next times I’m in store

I got a pair of Spanx pleather yesterday. They. Are. Amazing. But pricey.

Yippy I've been looking at those, what are they like? Am looking for some leggings rather than trousers: preferably thin and not too shiny.

They're quite thin. Not shiny. Feel lovely. Make me look like I'm not a fat flabby cow and I'm going to wear the for New Years.

I have the Iris & Ink ones and they're brilliant. I get lots of wear out of them (slim/minimalist-trendy/39).
