When to start wearing leather pants
Leather Pants The Final Frontier in Menswear?
multiplexing so yeah what's going on
guys eat friends welcome back to the
show my name's Christian before I begin
I have a request for you I want you guys
to comment down below your favorite
fashion Instagram accounts this can be
people like personal accounts people
have great style it can be accounts that
or like you know conglomerates those
accounts that collect a lot of images
and post them every day or it could be
like a brand account I'm doing a little
research project and I want to know what
you guys think your input your help let
me know what is your favorite accounts
down below and I'll be super grateful
for your help today I'm talking about
possibly the final frontier of men's
fashion it's leather jeans leather pants
and one of the reasons I wanted to talk
about it is I've seen some people
writing about it and I saw it in the
runway shows for fall winter 2019 hi
Stefani called
leather pants the final boss of street
wear and I saw essence calling it a
forbidden fruit and they even reference
Tom Wolfe's bonfires of vanity is one of
the cell cultures that Tom Wolfe talks
about is like leather people in New York
people would wear leather on leather on
leather and something that I always
think about what I'm talking about
leather pants what I'm thinking about
them Chuck Klosterman
in a feature that he did referencing
fitty cent he said that if you wear
leather pants that's indisputable proof
that you have no friends because if you
had friends they would tell you that
leather pants are ridiculous
now whatever Chuck Klosterman isn't
exactly a fashion icon he's just a
writer that I like and I always thought
that was funny and interesting so I want
to talk about some of the runway shows
that I thought were interesting that had
leather pants and kind of going to the
aesthetics and silhouettes and I'll come
back when we discuss something I don't
know whatever
[Music]
up first is a leaks definitely leather
jeans fits into their aesthetic unluck
we've got like the leather pants
underneath some long coat and another
thing and a puffy jacket these pants
kind of almost look like they're waxed
with like a wax jacket and these two
bags then we've got these red leather
pants with the stripes going down boy
cardi wore these and Matthew Williams
featured it on his Instagram account
it's like obviously playboy cardi he is
a celebrity he is trying to dress in a
way that's wild and crazy and these
pants are something that is indeed wild
and crazy
speaking of silhouettes that aren't
necessarily very new let's take a look
at Selene
we've got Eddie Salman doing the same
thing he always does but and he
incorporated leather pants again and
with Celine it seems like everything
he's doing is a lot more pared down and
a lot more maybe less exciting but kind
of more sophisticated we've got this
first look that I'm showing up he's got
a guy black turtleneck black leather
pants black leather jacket with kind of
like a zip Chelsea boot very kind of I
mean if you saw a guy wearing this this
is like a crazy rock-and-roll look but I
think that this is closer to something
that maybe I could consider wearing next
one I've got this guy in the leopard
jacket with the same kind of these are
slim pretty skinny leather pants in my
mind I would wear leather jeans that
were skinny and slim like this just
because it's more like that chic rough
and then we saw one at least on the same
leather skinny pants this overcoat kind
of thing with a single button
and the tie I don't I wouldn't do it
like this I think that if you're gonna
wear leather pants it's gotta be either
Punk or rock and roll it's gotta be like
profit tumble this is like the boldest
statement you can make don't cry wearing
a tie with it I just don't think that's
gonna work for you look good for Chris
Van Oscars first collection at Berluti I
thought this was a great collection
overall on first guys he was sent down
the runway he's wearing a leather blazer
and leather pants a lot like Frank
Reynolds from Always Sunny in
Philadelphia it's interesting in the way
that it's kind of showing off Berluti
'he's kind of signature leathers that
are so fine and almost kind of rustic
and worn but this is like a ludicrous
outfit the next one we saw it's like
we've got this guy and I think what
looks like a pony hair kind of coat and
leather pants and a leather hoodie I
think that in my mind if you're going to
pair these leather pants with things
typically I'm thinking you one pair it
with something else
unless you're doing like a leather biker
jacket here's another look we've got
leather black pants like a leather
overcoat kind of double breasted thing
and then like a leather hoodie this one
looks a lot more like the elites kind of
look like that street punk I think that
this kind of works better last on my
list we've got our meds a house of
extreme luxury of refinement wealth and
the first look that they had ferments
their men's collection was this guy
coming down in a blue overcoat
kind of like other blue colors and then
these kind of wider high-waisted blue
pants now I think that if I was going to
try out to try to pull off leather jeans
leather pants I would go for like that
Eddie Salman skinny rocker look but this
kind of wider high waisted leather pant
might work out I mean in this outfit I
think it kind of works I still think
it's really wild and really bold but
there's something about the way that the
muted Blues work together the
textures of the different materials I
think you can pull off a wider leather
pant if it's paired in a similar way to
this outfit
plus one other look that seems to have
like the same maybe a similar leather
pant this guy is wearing all blue again
he's got like a blue bomber jacket he's
got the same boots as the last guy and
then like a pair of wide blue pants I
think that though what looks like a
leather shirt might be overkill in this
situation why do I find leather pants
interesting they're a garment that
hasn't really gone mainstream at all
even as men's fashion street wear has
evolved and men have become so much more
comfortable wearing bold outfits leather
pants still are something that's on the
fringe on the threshold of will feeling
comfortable in them I'm wearing a
leather biker right now and there was a
time when a jacket like this used to
hold more energy so to speak he used to
indicate something like maybe I was a
punk or at a motorcycle or I was trying
to be rebellious but unless you're
around your dad or something like that
people typically won't really bat an eye
at you wearing like a leather like
perfecto style jacket like this leather
pants because we haven't seen them at
all because there's something kind of
weird still remain in an area where
there's so much to be explored if I
could get a pair of leather council this
is what I would do I look for a pair
that a slimmer maybe more form-fitting
something that really fits me I see a
lot of vintage leather pants for an
affordable price but like newer leather
pants are typically super expensive
leather isn't a cheap commodity but I
would try to get something that fits me
right has like a slim or skinny
silhouette I had worked with probably
black story at fall boots and the rest
of my outfit I would try to make it
simple
maybe neutral maybe I wear like a black
turtleneck I would let the leather pants
be the focus of my outfit and then kind
of building and something that's a
little more pump or a little more like
bohemian New York chic kind of thing
that would be my idea I'll keep my eyes
peeled I'm always on the lookout for
something new in my wardrobe
but I've never found a pair of leather
pants that are either in a price that I
could buy or fit me the right way so
