Reader Request: Leather Skinny Pants
Karen wrote to me requesting where she could find REAL leather skinny pants (after reading my feature on leather skinnies, here).
Requested price range: $50-$150
This was challenging not only b/c of the price range (like the following two I found at super high prices–which I’m only including in case my high budget readers are interested, which if you are, wanna buy me a pair too? Love ya forever, thanks! ;)
NET-A-PORTER - Luella ‘Bobby’ leather pants (Orig. $875.75 USD, On Sale 50% off $387.50 USD)
Shopbop.com - Goldsign ‘Misfit’ Leather pant $790.00 USD
Super sexy, but at $790.00 USD?? For pants? Nuh uh. Never. Not I.
But hey, I love a challenge! *Rubbing hands together in anticipation* So here we go. This is the best I found at your price range, Karen:
Spiegel.com - Stretch Leather Pants - $129.00 USD
Sidenote: when you’re looking for pants with a tight/snug fit, always make sure to buy the pants a size SMALLER (or two!) to allow for the inevitable stretch of the item. Through time and wear, the item will mold to your personal body shape. God forbid you walk around with pants that has a “saggy butt”. You know what I mean, right??? This is when your denim or leather has been worn and cleaned a few times and next thing you know, the pants that fit soooo well at the store now sag in the butt area. So. Not. Hot. So apply that rule when you buy leather pants or snug/tight jeans.
All in all, I hope I was able to help, Karen! If any other readers can find anything else, be sure to ’share the knowledge’! ;)

Yeah, you SAY to buy them one size smaller, but talk to your ol buddy Christina who has had a major leather pants malfunction while dancing in a bar in leather pants that were too snug. Ripped right up the butt crack. NOT cute. Not cute at all. :D

Oh no Christina!!! *secretly chuckling* Oh (hee hee hee) noooo!
But don’t you know the ‘these pants/shoes’ are too tight rule?! “Just stand or sit there, and look cute. Limit movement as much as possible and only move if you have to like, go to the bathroom or something…” Yes! It’s in the Hot Mama Guidebook. It’s rule # 5692038.
And while I’m asking questions, what were you doing in a BAR dancing??? Hmmm!!??? On second thought, it sounds like I have to come where you’re at to party ;)
