The Devil Wears Leather Leggings
My absolute Must-Have of the moment item is the Leather Legging.
In the last few seasons there has been a huge resurgence of leather. The shrunken leather moto jacket being one of the hottest items for Spring. And now, leather will become the new legging for this coming Fall. They (or the thigh-high skin tight leather boot alternative) are on many of the shows I've looked at. They look amazing paired with the beautiful feather trimmed flapper-esque party dresses, as well as layered under a simple sweater dress or long menswear shirt. (Below looks are Halston, Versace, Versace, Jasper Conran, and Topshop Unique.) I LOVE the creamy color of the Halston boots.
Reminds me of my favorite look (and Andy's break out look) from 2006's The Devil Wears Prada. Below is the gorgeous Chanel ensemble and a look from Chanel's Fall 2003 collection with a different variation of the leather legging. Gorgeous. 
Since I don't necessarily have the funds for the Chanel thigh highs or any of the designer leather leggings, I will probably opt for some "Leather-look" leggings like below. Perfect leggings for layering under an oversized t-shirt, blazer, and heels.
I don't thins they are made of leather. Just a fabric that looks like leather.
