The New Way to Wear Leather

Remember when leather pants were scary? When they were always on the fashion no-no lists, right below “white after Labor Day” and “acid wash anything.”

This was for good reason. We all remember the most famous leather pants horror story — aka the “Friends” episode with Ross’ epic leather pants fail.
