First, less than one percent of the entire world's population should consider wearing leather pants--us average folk just can't pull it off without looking ridiculous. Second, the only dudes who can get away with leather pants are rock stars, on stage or a red carpet--the dude hanging out in the bar in leather pants looks like a tool. Third, how the FUCK do you put on a pair of leather pants that fit like a second skin? And fourth, aren't they hot as hell?

BUT--a woman with a bangin' bod is SMOKIN' in a pair of leather pants. Yea or nay?

(^^^I dunno if these are leather; is it even possible to have leather pants that tight?)

i can see leather on anybody riding a motorcycle or needing to hold his/her pants up, but that's about it...

Who's that girl in the last picture? She's...cute.

Ahem. Anyway. In the first picture, those are waaaay too tight...they look more like vinyl than leather.

I used to have a pair pleather pants (way cheaper than leather) that I wore clubbing or to concerts. They looked awesome, but yeah, they were REALLY damn hot (especially dancing.) Other than that, they were comfy as hell.

The ONLY time when it would be appropriate for either sex to wear leather pants:

In my humble opinion, the question of leather pants is not a question of propriety.

I believe that is Cheryl Cole, member of a British Spice-Girl-redux pop group and WAG. And she looks tasty.

It's a question of having a fantastic ass, in my humble opinion.

You put them on like you do vinyl fetish gear: with a generous application of talcum powder.

Yes.

I wore lederhosen until I was about 5 years old. These pics are not me, just examples.

I'm just a little creeped out by my overactive olfactory imagination.
The whole old grilled cheese or roast beef sammich stuffed in leather pants just totally freaks me out. Some women can totally pull off the looser ones that fit nicely, but not the leather leggging looking things.

Men... NO. Unless you're David Lee Roth or Steven Tyler.

Turkish oil wrestling intrigues me.

Lederhosen are acceptable.

Leather pants are a combination of body type + attitude--if you have the right combination of the two, you can pull it off.

Are these even made out of leather anymore? I'm sure they're Kevlar / Nomex / Unobtainium by now, right?

I'm relatively sure they have not found anything as protective as leather in a slide as of yet. My motorcycle gear consists of leather pants, if I thought I could pull them off anytime when I wasn't astride a bike I'd consider getting a regular pair too!

Plan9

Yeah, I couldn't wear leather pants without angering the gods... so I just stick to heavy grandpa jeans when I'm out roaring on two wheels. It's better for everyone that way.

Just for fun, there's a website that occasionally features morons in leather pants: www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com

To me its not so much about leather pants being socially acceptable; it's about the image the wearer intends to convey. IMHO, guys who wear leather pants for any reason other than personal safety just come across as insecure d-bags who desperately want everyone to think they're edgy and cool. I believe the man makes the clothes look cool, no the other way around.

Women in leather pants just scream "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" Whenever I see a women wearing them, I can't help but conjure up mental images of trying to open a grilled cheese sandwich in a swamp.

Just my two cents.

As far as I know, the "standard" for high end kit is still kangaroo leather. Pound-for-pound, it's something like 10 times stronger than cow leather and it breathes much better.

...but sometimes I wanna open said sandwich with my lips.

Leather is breathable? Damn, I learn something new every day. My thin jackets don't breathe worth shit.

IIRC, kangaroo leather is banned in California. Which makes me want products made out of it.

I haven't verified it myself, but I'm pretty sure Milla Jovovich has no need for a codpiece.

I'm also pretty sure that her smooth spot is defective.

BINGO! Although my personal definition of hot chicks is probably quite a bit more liberal than most chaps on this social media outlet. I like women in leather... almost all women will look GREAT in leather to me.

I wouldn't date anyone that would wear leather pants. The idea of the smell and taste left over from leather is kind of nauseating, and the look doesn't appeal at all.

That said, who am I to tell anyone what to wear?

I must say I'm surprised that there hasn't been a single objection to leather on the basis that it's made of animal hide.
