leather trousers!

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.

Mrs pompa has my sympathy!

hihihi thanks Ana- so yes, I've got one, in black- very useful ;)

The only person who should wear leather trousers if Iggy Pop

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.

BTW, the cold shower didn't work, I can still see Suzi Quatro in those leather trousers.

Here's an M&S one

Yes.

Am I really the only one who has not got a clue about those waterfall cardigans

I wouldn't mind trying them but my husband calls them " colostomy bags" , so somewhat off putting. ( this was in tribute to an unpleasant colleague of his who wore them - not sure of the connection!)

rockgran you made me snigger thanks just the tonic I needed after that Monday feeling at work

Would they go well with a waterfall cardigan!

hildajennij - same here, lol. Personally, I'd say live and let live- doesn't bother me and I quietly envy their figure.

A definite no!! Mutton dressed as lamb comes to mind!

I always wanted to try leather trousers but never had the courage. Now I haven't got the shape.

And to think that this very morning I returned some stretchy slim legged jeans to M & S because I thought they were too clingy!

IMO Angela Rippon always looks extremely smart but this morning I found her leather trousers a bit of a shock and didn't like them. To be fair, if she could see me now, she wouldn't be impressed by my clothes either!

Didn't bikergran say she was taking some time away from GN after her husband died? I hope she is ok, and comes back soon.

I had a brown leather pair years ago. Lovely soft leather and very comfy.

Not something I would wear now though. OK in my twenties but not in my sixties.

Elegran I had same thoughts yesterday haven't seen her about for a while certainly miss her humour,I think leather trousers on youngsters look fine and as a safety measure on motorbikes they are a must but nothing worse than seeing saggy bottoms when they are well used.

I think they must be very hot and sweaty. Yuk- they are a bit of taste holiday.

Cilla Black often wears them too.

They are a necessity for bikers male and female (chicks! ) of any age. Different to wearing them for 'style'. I admire her for knowing her own mind, but even if I were her size they wouldn't be my thing.

Thanks for the reminder, Elegran. I have just pm'd her and the message was sent, so she hasn't left us.
