Leather pants are a HUUGE hype with women’s fashion right now. All these rocker and non-rocker chicks are donning them left and right with inspirations such as Emmanuelle Alt. I am totally dreaming of wearing leather pants as well, ad they definitely are not too taboo. . . . There’s no taboo in fashion

Leather pants can also be seen walking the men’s runway. For example Trussardi 1911 for its fall season has shown a lot of looks with leather bottoms (pictures above)

I think most of you are aware that I definitely don’t have the capability to spend a lot on clothes. I am a student and my budget is very limited and therefore I have to spend it wisely. Leather pants are (to me) a trend item. Time will pass that it will be considered unpopular to wear such a piece. Therefore, I can’t shell out 250 dollars on that. Heck even FAKE leather pants go well over 50 bucks.

There has to be a way for me to wear these pants or at least create the look. This is where waxed pants will save me. They give the same look and you can just buy some cheap-er black jeans and some otter wax

Here is a tuturial c/o Jennine Jacob of the-coveted on how to wax your jeans
