Another example of leather leggings looking great IMO. So, another "yes" from my corner too.

I think they look great as long as they are styled correctly. Like with a long sweater, jacket or top. Simple shoes like a pump.

Glad to see they have been around for a few seasons.

I say, "Nay", but I don't like leather pants either.

I love leather leggings and pants. I haven't work mine much lately being that its summer time. If you love them they are a yay for me! You can wear mostly anything if it's styled properly.
Here's the last time I wore mine.

They're a YAY from me.
And gosh, I hope I'm not too offensive a sight for some people. I'm 44 *gasp* and a not a model but I wear my leather leggings with heels, a t-shirt and St. John tweed blazer. I don't know if my legs are long enough to pull it off, but in my usual heels, I am 6'.
Wear what you like, and what you feel good in. Don't worry about getting "alien stares" from people. That's their issue. People give me the look when I wear mine - or even a dress for that matter, but most women around me dress in a hoodie & lululemons.

I think leather leggings are cool, so that's a yay from me. I've been wanting a pair Helmut Lang's leggings for some time now. Here's a picture of Caroline of Caroline's Mode. I think she looks great in hers!

I'm actually surprised by how many "nay" responses there are! Guess I love the look so much that I thought everyone else did too.

Von, I agree with you, the key to any clothing item is to feel great and confident wearing it. I just need to see if I feel great enough in the legging to wear out! And I don't think there's an age limit on leggings either! :)

Ilovefashion you look great in those leggings!! That pushes me more towards keeping mine!

Anyone else w/mod pics please post them!

Thanks for the pic kaypa this girl looks great too! Too bad I'm not tall like her

I bet you rock them. Whatever, I'm tired of seeing women age themselves by how they dress, or actually date themselves by not updating their look at all.

I'm not surprised there are some nays, I mean most people don't go for an edgy look. Like I'm sure my Pamela Love talon cuff is a bit too much for most....but that is part of the reason I love it.

you look great. i agree that leather leggings should be worn with a loose shirt or chunky sweater to tone down the sexiness.

Yes, I've seen yours before JuneP and they are fab. You wear them well. I'm a little surprised at the number of no's too.
