Leather Leggings? For Real?

September 12, 2008 Posted in Style

I’ll admit it: I like to wear leggings.

By Lauren

They are comfortable, they suck in the fat on my thighs and they look cute for class or a club. That being said, I am a little confused about a trend I just learned about this morning: leather leggings.

I have never tried them, but the first thing that comes to mind when someone even puts “leather” and “leggings” into a single sentence is that time Ross Gellar tried leather pants and couldn’t get them back on.

I mean, how do you even put these one? And don’t your legs make a really weird squeaky noise when you walk? (Note: If you have actual thighs, unlike Lindsay Lohan.) I don’t know; the whole trend just seems to “wannabe biker chick” for me.

What do you think?

I have a pair that aren't leather but look like it, I bought them in American Apparel and I love them. They kinda make a funny squeaky noise when you wear them for the first few times but they look awesome with a big shirt or a frilly dress.

I bought a pair of faux leather leggings and I am a thicker girl. I was told that they make my legs look very fat and I usually get a lot of compliments on my legs. I don't think I recommend these leggings for bigger girls unless your legs are very long and thin.

Tell us what you're thinking...
