Leather look leggings

[calmalamadown]

I've woken up with the urge to buy some for winter to be worn with warm baggy jumpers and ankle boots.

Is this acceptable for someone approaching 40?

Oh FGS. I’m 50 and literally wouldn’t think twice. Go for it. Sounds like a lovely outfit.

I love them but I'm not sure they will love me. I'm 38 but like to blend in rather than stand out. If I wasn't such a wimp I would.
Do it if you feel comfortable 😊

Go for it. Try coated jeans too, I love my River Island Molly ones. Only Jean's that actually stay black

That’s exactly my style
Spanx leather look leggings are the best ever
Expensive but they are worth it

Yep. Love mine, wear them with baggy jumpers, longline shirts, under dresses...so comfy and look much more out together than normal leggings. I’m 38.

I do have to make sure i get good coverage with the top though, cos, you know 🐫🦶🏻😬

I’m 43 and love mine. Do it.

I love mine. Also have some coated animal print ones from M&S that are my happy trousers. I absolutely love them. Together with chunky lace up boots and baggy knitted jumper it is my favourite outfit just now.

I'm 56 and have just ordered some matte leather look leggings .To wear with a long v neck Cashmere jumper and black boots. I've tried the leather look jogger type trousers from h&m, but I felt like i was wearing a plastic bag. Plus they looked terrible on . I've also just ordered a pair of green suede look leggings from h&m to see his they look. I may well end up returning everything.

I'm fifty and was wearing mine at the weekend.

My 8 month daughter goes to bed at 8.30-9pm but still wakes at 1am and 5am she's been doing this since six months, also she is teething.. So is this normal and roughly when or if will she sleep all night without waking??

Sorry haha wrong area for post 😂

Not sure why they wouldn't be OP everyone wears them don't they? Go for it!
I've got a pair but never do with that said, they look nice but they feel so restrictive I can never make myself commit to wearing them out for days out or out for dinner etc

I’m pushing 40 and also love them. Wear them ALL the time. Love them with slouchy jumpers, T-shirt’s with trainers and camo jacket, tops and blazers for a night out etc.

I have two pairs, and real leather leggings, plus leather trousers. No one has laughed at me wearing them. I must get them out now Autumn is becoming more winter

Teta - I've just ordered a pair of the green suede ones.

What do you think of them @18Toys?
I'm finding them quite stiff and restrictive but surprisingly good quality.
I'm returning them though because I don't like feeling encased !
The other ones I ordered are horribly plastic so they're going back too.
I will try the m&s coated leggings next. At least they are made from Viscose so should be comfortable on.
Any other suggestions for comfy leather look leggings?

Tip for shit quality ones, I have loads as I'm forever trying to find the perfect pair!

Wear tights under them, hides everything

I have a pair of coated skinny jeans that I love from years ago. However all of the faux leather leggings I've tried have looked tacky and awful and REALLY unflattering. I think it's the shine factor.

I've just bought the Spanx ones and as far as leggings go, they hold me in quite well. But they're still leggings and not so flattering on my size 10-12 saddlebags. I think they'll be going back.

Stop with the boxing yourself into age. It's nonsense.

I'd love a pair. But I'm the same as you @notasgreenasiamcabbagelooking - they are not forgiving on my saddlebags. Boo.

I'm planning on wearing them with a long Cashmere tunic and knee length or otk boots. Any saddlebags will not be seen.

Teta - they are a bit baggy on me - I like them with long boots as I have long legs and they are half way up my calf. I like the texture and colour.

Well over 50 here and wouldn't think twice. I like the contrast of chunky jumper and faux leather.

I really like the M&S ones . They're surprisingly sturdy and really good value with the current 20% off. They actually fit very well.
I've just ordered the coated animal print ones too. As they are fast selling out.

Aren't they really hot and sweaty?! That would bother me
