For anyone who has a forever 21, they have these amazing leggings there, they stretch but don't get all broken and if you rub your legs together they are super soft and don't fade in between the legs. I got a pair for $10 USD! I'll post pics later but they are so badass.

I bought the H&M faux leather pants last week for a night on the town. They were comfy and I did not feel hot and sticky in them, even after spending the night dancing. I did get a lot of people asking where I got them. If you don't mind people asking you about them or asking to touch them, than wear it proudly!

What kind of shoes and top do you guys wear with these? I was thinking high boots and a long shirt to cover my bum. I don't want to look trashy or tacky.

With the leggings, I'd say make sure your top covers your bum and any sort of boot can work. I personally find it trashy when someone wears leggings without their bum and/or crotch covered. I haven't really seen anyone wear latex leggings with flat shoes. With my leather pants, I wore a loose draped tank top, black moto jacket, and a simple pair of black wedges.

I wear loose draped top with my leather leggings and always heels never flats - both boots and sandals look great

go for something "bum covering" but try ankle boots or black strappy heels - you wanna show off the calf area...

[MissyJG]

^where I live, people hardly pick up trends. Or it takes them like 2 years.

Not too large, only the waist was a bit big, so I wore a belt.

Hello to all from Finland!

I´m new to this forum. This is my first post. I'm very interested in fashion. Could you please give me an advice what kind of top/jacket/shirt and shoes should men wear with leggings? I would love to wear leather/latex leggings but I don't know what to wear with them. Thank you in advance.

I love the look, but I can't pull it off lol.

^ I agree. I can already imagine some super fierce people rocking them, but alas I am not one of those people...

Wow, this thread has been going for some time. Very sorry if I repeat something that's been said, but it's a lot to go through.

First, I have to say I'm loving that leather pants are becoming a wee bit more normal, even if they never attain full acceptance in the mainstream.

I guess where I'm a bit different compared with most of those who've posted on this thread is that I'm a fairly regular married guy who loves wearing leather pants. About 3 years ago, I found some at Danier at a blowout cost, so I thought the heck with what "everyone" thinks, and went for them. I loved them from first time I tried them on and told my wife almost immediately that I couldn't live with only one pair. Her amazing response was to surprise me with a pair of black leather Gucci pants! Wow, was I shocked. They are so nice and in every way nothing like the stereotypical biker or 80's rocker pants.

Perhaps in part due to the "security" of having a high-fashion name, which seems to help quiet those who have some issue, I've become secure enough wearing them that I even wear them to the office. Sure, I get some looks, but I find that once the initial "what!?" reaction passes, most people say "you know...those are actually really nice". The catch, I think, it what one wears with them. To help avoid the stereotypes, you have to dress them up.

Anyway, sorry for the autobiography, but I just wanted to mention that there are some guys out here who love leather pants and who are secure enough in their "not looking too bad"-ness to wear them.

Ida, It looks really bad on the model and she does not pull em off but maybe other people can? There's hardly a shape...

(pic from net-a-porter, but I bought them from Intermix)

please do not quote images. thank you.

When I walked out of the store after purchasing them I was like "D'oh! Total impulse buy!"...but I kind of like that they're slouchy. The store was sold out of the smaller size anyway. I love them, I'm just glad I didn't pay full price!

You look awesome in the last pic; you really pull off this look well with the way that you've accessorized the pants. Not a look that everyone can do, but well done there.
