I personally love the leather trend right now. I own a couple pleather skirts, I love wearing those with tights and ankle boots. I live in a place where fashion trends don't always trickle down to, so everyone around here thinks I'm crazy. I really had my eye on getting a pair of black leather shorts, but now since I see those brown ones, I might have to change colors. I feel that the change, helps to keep it less stripper looking, which leather can sometimes be associated with.
