Have just watched Rip of Britain where Angela Rippon was wearing leather trousers. She is 70, is it just me who thinks that's a no,no ?
Apologies to anyone of a similar age who proudly wears theirs. Just MHO.

I think leather trousers look ridiculous at any age on anyone other than bikers [who have to wear them for the protective value.]It's not a good look.Nothing to do with age.

The only person who should wear leather trousers if Iggy Pop

I used to work for a female boss who was a WILT (woman in leather trousers). The younger staff members would poke fun at her, because, she would, er, buy them second hand off eBay and then tell the whole office. Ew.
