Leather pants are absurd.

If you have to ask should you be wearing leather trousers then you probably shouldn't. It all depends on the lifestyle and attitude of the wearer. They go with a biker or bohemian/alternative lifestyle. A guy I know who is into BDSM wears leather trousers to BDSM events but doesn't wear them to work or to more mainstream situations. He considers leather trousers fetish wear.

A 50 year old biker could get away with wearing leather trousers. So could a 50 year old artist or rock musician. People like these do their own thing and don't give a toss what other people think. They don't follow the herd. A 25 year old with a more traditional lifestyle might look ridiculous in leather trousers.

If you're in doubt about wearing leather trousers buy a well cut pair of jeans instead and wear them with a nice leather jacket.

Leather trousers can be dodgy on women too. You have to have the confidence and the figure to pull them off.

Thanks
I'm not a biker, I'm not into bdsm and I don't consider it a fetish.
My image would be a smart sports jacket, a crisp shirt, well fitting leather pants and a good pair of shoes

This is not a look I have seen anywhere in Ireland but this a small country and we are conservative dressers. I prefer to see leather trousers dressed down on both men and women, otherwise it looks like you're trying too hard. In winter you could wear leather trousers with a chunky sweater and casual boots the same colour as the trousers. Never do double leather - i.e. leather trousers with a leather jacket - unless you're a biker.

I don't mean to be horrible, but the way you wear leather trousers screams lounge lizard.

What colour leather trousers do you wear?

I do actually do the chunky sweater and casual boots with leather pants look too.
Leather trousers are always black.
Thanks for your feedback.

I only ever saw one guy wearing leather pants, unless someone is a slim build I don't think they're a good look on a man.

Leather trousers are part of the gay getish scene.

Has anybody seen that episode of Friends.

The one where Ross wears a pair if leather trousers on a date then takes them off while in her bathroom and can't get them back on?

No. What happens?

Does Russell Brand wear leather trousers?

Thanks, but I think its presumptuous to say that a guy is gay if he wears leather trousers.

That pretty much says all you need to know about leather trousers.

I should think Leather trousers are rather expensive. This is not an item I would see in any of the chain stores or even mens fashion outfitters.
If you have to ask the question what people think of Leather Trouser then I would think that maybe while you like the material you are not that comfortable wearing them. You will certainly stand out in the crowd as a fashion statement. Personally I prefer jeans or chinos for a casual look, they are a lot easer to clean I should think. Now if you are not self conscious with what you wear and you don't mind standing out in the crowd go for it man but I would also like to think you could wear ordinary denim jeans, cords etc and feel equally as good.

I recognise the OP's posting style from before. He seems to be fixated on leather trousers and skinny jeans. Neither are a look I personally find attractive on a man.

They cost €120 and upwards for good quality leather and yes they should be specialist dry cleaned. Cheaper 'leather look' types are available.
Yes I like the material and the look but do not only wear leathers. I like fashion so would wear a variety of clothes and styles.

Not sure it has anything to do with cost. I have spent more on jeans but wouldn't dream of buying a pair of leather trousers, regardless of cost.

This is a topic that appears every so often: what's peoples opinion of men wearing leather trousers?
I wear them all the time and I think the reason the topic reappears is that there are lots of guys that like to wear leather pants too but are lacking the confidence to do so.
Opinions of ladies and gents?

Thanks justaguy.
I think I get it. What you are really saying is that you have the confidence and variance of style to wear leather trousers and that you would encourage others who might be shy because of public opinion, but have a liking for leather trousers, to get out there and be themselves. For me I prefer ordinary run of the mill. If Leather Trousers became very fashionable..............maybe? I am not sure..... I have a leather jacket and it rarely gets worn. Yeah I would encourage people if they like a look in fashion go for it.

Thanks grey_goose. Yes you summed it up precisely and put it much better than I did.

I have the same reaction to leather pants as I do to young guys wearing trench coats and fedoras.

Please don't try and convince yourself that men don't wear leather pants because they lack the confidence to do so, they don't wear them because they look ridiculous.

Both for men and women IMHO. Yuck!

Lens leather trousers are back in fashion for autumn/winter 2014.

Back in fashion- fine. Actually seeing them on the streets- that's another thing. A lot of lines which are in fashion don't always translate to the high street and I think and fecking hope this is one.

Apart from the hot weather, which won't be around autumn /winter, there's no reason why they won't make it onto the streets.

There's one very good reason why they won't make it on to the streets: most people don't like them.
If you like leather trousers and have the confidence to wear them then wear them, whether they're 'in fashion' or not.

Most men aren't able to really fit into them, IMO a man would want to be a slim build to look ok in them.

Leather looks good on women though, leather skirts are nice.

Thanks,yes I wear leather pants because I like the look, but I like clothes and fashion so I go for lots of different looks.
