I am wearing leather trousers. Just writing it down feels a bit obscene, like the fashion, nay, the _actual_ police are going to come and take me away. But here I am, proud and shiny-legged. The last time my editors roped me into trying out a new trend it was men’s heels. This time, they’ve coaxed me into wearing something perhaps even more controversial. Who said friendships in the workplace were dead?

As trends go – and believe me, they’re definitely trending – leather trousers are a tough thing to pull off (no pun intended). For men, anyway. In the comparatively expansive world of women’s fashion, leather trousers are far more socially acceptable.

They have long been associated with hip-thrusting rock stars and Ross from Friends but, as our Deputy Editor finds out, leather trousers may just be for everybody
