There are a lot of thing people would like to do. They would love to learn to speak French properly, rather than sounding like a total div when they attemp it. They would love to give up their caffeine-addict regime of flat whites and vats of builders brew and be the sort of woman who has a dry body brushing reegime.
and they would also love to wear leather trousers.
However, they have the self-knowladge to realise that none of the above are actually going to happen in the foreseeable future. Learning french? Bearing in mind that they still haven't mastered their eight times table, this degree of home study seems a stretch. Green tea? Can't stand the stuff. dry body brushing? Does anyone actually do that?
The wearing of leather trousers is just as unlikely. frankly, they can't see theirself pulling it off. A new survey found they were the most regretted fashion purchase among women, possibly for the same reason they don't own a pair. Appealing as the idea of leather trousers is, the reality is that they won't actually look good on them.
Leather trousers look best on the young and skinny, and people who are young and skinny are drawn to them for this reason. The problem is, people who wish they were younger and skinnier are also drawn to them for this reason, and that's where the trouble starts.
The wearing of leather trousers can be the wardrobe equivalent of the sports car, for those of us of certain age. Spaking as someone who is approaching a landmark birthday which, ahem, isn't 30, They can vouch for the siren lure of leather trousers. At Paris fashion week recently, They chased a fellow British fashion editor out of the Chanel show because she was wearing really great-looking leather trousers-not too tight or to baggy, a flattering central seam on the thigh-and They wanted to ask where she got them.
