They definitely did loosen a bit over time but are washable. I like how they add edge to otherwise simple, classic outfits.

You cannot press them!&nbsp; I know you like your linen pressed like I do - and the creasing might drive you batty.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213629 Tue, 03 Aug 2021 12:35:41 +0000 lyn67 2213629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do have a pair of black, wider&nbsp; 7/8 legs faux leather from last year. Think they are H&amp;M- and even if not true leather they are a great medium weight, not too flimsy and not too heavy-nobody could tell exactly they are not leather-butv they are not distressed or so... love the look of them and wore&nbsp; them for dressier events like Xmass because they have a bit of glaze -but they can be worn casual, too- I just&nbsp; wanted mines for dressy in the first year. See if they will be usefull this year for a smart/casual, too. They were warm for me indoors, but don't know how they&nbsp; feel outdoors in true winter-we have only mild here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213591 Tue, 03 Aug 2021 02:21:58 +0000 Jonesy 2213591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of some loose, straight leather pants, but I am no help in terms of finding a pair, nor have I ever worn them (I think I would find them too hot to be comfortable). I am sure they would look fab on you and fit right into your wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213514 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 19:31:36 +0000 Anonymous 2213514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the past I have worn real leather pants and found them hot and best for really cold windy days because the leather stops the wind from penetrating and cooling or chilling your skin. I did not notice much bagging out. It may have been because they were lined... with polyester fabric, which I hated for its slimy feel. They also need a good airing out turned inside out with the lining out, after every wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213420 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 15:36:58 +0000 Greyscale 2213420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Over the winter I became obsessed with the leather trousers trend (straight leg, relaxed but professional). I eventually found my dream pair from Everlane on poshmark. I still haven’t worn them because I’m not going out much, but I’d like to wear them to teach in the fall. </p> <p>In the early 00s I had a pair of Gap bootcut leather jeans that were easy to wear. Nice light leather. And in the late 90s I bought heavier leather pants on a trip to London but barely wore them. I wish I’d kept them as I imagine they’d look very current this year. But they were too stiff to be comfortable. The Everlane pants are lovely light leather but they’re second hand and a bit stretched out. I bought my usual size for a slim but loose look but maybe the original owner went for a going-out tight fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213366 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 12:12:13 +0000 Irina 2213366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>Echo</b>, this is very helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213334 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 04:37:38 +0000 Echo 2213334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had several pairs, as I used to work in a leather store. Leather will only stretch if it is stressed, so a trouser style likely will not stretch at all. A more form-fitting style should be purchased so it is snug I the hips, as they will stretch. As for the knees, while hanging them and letting them rest between wears will help, they undoubtedly will stretch if they are tight.</p> <p>As for warmth, they're warmer than most people anticipate, especially if lined. In really cold weather, wearing tights underneath helps, just as it does with any pants. People think they take a long time to warm up, but they really don't, and they provide better wind protection than any fabric can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213325 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 02:48:12 +0000 Irina 2213325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roxanna, this is exactly what I’m looking for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213322 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 01:59:12 +0000 Roxanna 2213322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair I thrifted a couple of years ago and I love them - they are straight leg and high rise, so they were probably last in fashion in the 80s. </p> <p>They are lined and I love wearing them in winter to give my looks some edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213318 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 01:33:36 +0000 Anonymous 2213318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine were black, easily spot cleaned, I always wore them with tights and they went through a multi seasonal dormancy which probably helped. I think I had them professionally cleaned once.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you google this though, people are apparently actually washing them and even tossing them in the dryer to tighten them up. Not recommending that but who knows?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213315 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 01:13:35 +0000 Irina 2213315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not sure I understand the cleaning concerns. Is it different from taking care of a leather jacket or a leather skirt? It is not a summer item and would not be worn without a layer underneath.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213298 Mon, 02 Aug 2021 00:05:02 +0000 cat2 2213298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a no given the cleaning cost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213288 Sun, 01 Aug 2021 23:03:38 +0000 Brooklyn 2213288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been obsessed with black leather pants ever since watching “The Bridge” (original Danish/Swedish version). Saga wore them so well. But the cleaning issue (and cost) makes them a no go for me. I settled on coated black denim jeans in a straight fit. They give a similar vibe and are easier to look after. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213250 Sun, 01 Aug 2021 20:51:56 +0000 Janet 2213250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve never had any — faux or real — because they seem to be a difficult fit for me, as most pants are. I wouldn’t want tight leather pants, and it’s really hard to find the right easy fit in them. And I’m not into anything cropped or with a pleated or high waist, which makes options even slimmer! Maybe someday I’ll stumble upon a great pair, but I’m not holding my breath! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213244 Sun, 01 Aug 2021 20:31:14 +0000 kkards 2213244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of a straight leg leather trouser. Just before the pandemic shut down the US, i bought a pair of faux leather trousers, and i love that because its a very basic silhouette it’s easy to take them causal or to dressy. &nbsp;Hope you find what you are looking for&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213238 Sun, 01 Aug 2021 20:15:46 +0000 Irina 2213238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried one pair today - full length, wide leg from COS. They were too long on me and looked too dressy due to fuller leg style. Might’ve worked in cropped style but I’m not prepared to buy pants that would have to be altered. My tailor doesn’t work with leather.<br />I ordered a straight pair that looks shorter. With sizing being all over the place, I have no idea if they would fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-pants---what-where-and-how#post-2213225 Sun, 01 Aug 2021 19:36:50 +0000 Anonymous 2213225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I probably had the same 3 pair that Style Fan had .

I’m looking for cropped pants, culottes might also work since they are generally longer on me. </p>
