It's a look I'd like to try

I'm trying to think if I've ever seen somebody around here wearing leather pants who wasn't riding a motorcycle. Skirts, yes, but I can't recall having seen somebody in pants outside of PPE. I'll be on the lookout. Speaking of looking out, I was at the grocery store yesterday (in heels, of course), and I spied a woman at some distance walking away from me. Soon I noticed heels sticking out of the hem of her pants. She had long hair, and was wearing a camel colored wool coat. At that moment, one of the clerks stepped out of the checkstand area and said, "I can help you over here, sir." I couldn't really say to hold on for a minute, I need to check out this woman's shoes first, could I? So I will never have any context for the heels. Ten years ago, I wouldn't have cared, but now I kind of want to know why someone besides me would wear heels to the grocery store.

I too love wearing both my leather pants and leather leggings. I even have a leather mini dress and leather skort that I wear in warmer weather. I love the look and feel of leather real or imitation. Happy Heeling, bluejay

Oh, really? I'm a bit surprised, because it's basically a classic stiletto pump style. Good combination! I think generally leather pants are best combined with heels.

I love to wear my faux leather pants with my knee highs. Glad to know I'm in vogue. ☺️

The ones I saw didn’t look fake, but at any rate the look seems very much in vogue.

A day in London yesterday, mainly in the Covent Garden, Seven Dials area and along the Strand - a lot of heels, mostly knee and OTK boots with chunky heels. A couple of stilettos and mercifully only one pair of kitten heels. A surprising number of leather trousers, which seem to be much in vogue.

Easy explanation: running shoes are porous and get wet inside when it is raining and in snowy situations.

There are certainly more heels here too in winter than in summer - at least in my experience. Again, boots

Thank you everyone for the support! I will keep doing my thing. If you have stories, HinH & Bluejay, please post. Would be curious how you dealt with more "difficult" situations.

Hiddenheels, Very well described indeed. Seems a realistic representation of what one may face as you venture out semi-dressed en femme. The girl peering into the men’s bathroom is crossing a line I mean imagine vice-versa you’d hear screams! Just keep getting out there and enjoying your own fashion. I bought my first maxi dress a few years ago and wore some Bakers “Peyton” pumps with it and loved the look. I should post it sometime. Thanks for your stories. HinH
