Date night – when leather stopped being ‘nasty’

Thankfifi- Topshop leather culottes - date night style-8

Remember when leather was kinda nasty?  Leather skirts only came in two shapes – short and tight.  And leather pants were usually shiny, maybe with buckles, probably with zips.  Times have a-changed.  Hooray.

They might not be man friendly but I’m loving these leather culottes.  They’re butter soft, they’re loose, they’re long.  (And they’re warm but that’s just a bonus on top of their fashion credentials – though a welcome bonus at this time of year all the same).  So they joined me, and the husband, for date night with other leather legged friends and a big balloon sleeved knit.  The new sexy maybe?

    You are so right, some leather in the past was definitely a bit dodgy!
    These culottes work, and culottes can be a strange one, can’t they?
    Love the boots, they are gorgeous!!

      They can indeed – heels are key I think otherwise they can cut your leg at an awkward point and not be terrible flattering. But the right cut and a good heel and they’re one of my favourite shapes right now.

    HOW do you wear boots and shorts and make them work? i’m so enormously jealous, i cannot do the over sides thing and you’ve smashed it, x

      Well… we tried to go to Ox & Finch (one of my favs) and then Porter & Rye (yet to try) but both were full and we wound up in The Finnieston which I also love – plus it means MrK can join us for date night 😉
