The Complete Leather Package

True style never shouts. Leather raises its voice, but it never shouts. It winks suggestively, it might even gesticulate, but it never booms or howls.

Leather leopard woman, I like

I like the feel of leather. Sometimes it’s cool and firm. Sometimes it’s hot, almost moist. I like the smell of leather; raw and arousing, primal and animal-like.

Bustin' out

There’s something intrinsically hip, yet old school about wearing leather. The more you wear on your body at one time, the more intense you appear to others. It’s like saying “Here I am. Period.”

Meeee-OWWW!

Do you want to make a deliberate fashion statement?

I like leather, but this is just wrong!

Perhaps you’re an easy rider from way back? Maybe you grew up listening to Jim Morrison ...

The Lizard King

... or Suzy Quatro?

Suzy's suit is jumpin'!

Or maybe you’re just tough at heart?

Ayyyyyyyyy ....!

There are the other hides of course; suede and new buck. But suede is for soft cock metro-sexuals, and new buck is for pretentious rich kids.

The metro-sexual cowboy

Leather is a particular style choice for pop stars ...

Girls Aloud ... but not shouting

Some celebrity wannabes feel it necessary to sans the top for maximum effect.

You can don a leather skirt when you want to let the world know you're a good girl gone bad ...

Hot and wet

Although exactly what kind of fashion statement they're trying to say is sometimes difficult to appreciate ...

"Not my kind ..."

While some people have no idea about colour co-ordination ...

Black leather pants, yes. Red leather pants, no.

I do like an elegant pair of leather gloves on women though ... very Emma Peel.

Elegance with a touch of attitude

Speaking of which, the first leather article I owned was a pair of my grandfather’s gloves and a pair of ski wrist bands. The gloves were too big, but I loved them. Both pairs were lined with wool. I felt legendary with the wrist bands on, like I was a champion skier.

The leather corporate look: I'm late for work but I don't care

We mustn't forget the appeal of leather in the realm of gay pride ...

I'll tug you, if you reach around for me

Or the gay icon ...

All hail, the leather Hoff!

There's the underground look, of course ...

Bring out the gimp!

... and strict leather fetish.

That's one hot corset!

Leather will never not be in style. It’s chic, but streetwise, hip, but not self-conscious, cool, without the attitude …

Slick and cool and hot indeed

… Leather: the tiger of winter fashion.

I don't know....I always thought there was a rule how it's OK to have leather on top but not on the bottom....

I guess it depends on the size of the bottom....

Nice post!

I love leather belts - I don't think I've worn a non-leather belt in about 10 years...

Okay, take it from me, the gimp mask boy is actually a rubber (latex) fetishist, right down to the gumboots.
