Wow that's different. I absolutely loooove leather. The smell has always made me so happy (and in later life, turned me on too.) And I like suits. But not really feelin' this combo. I like the girl in the pencil skirt. The others, not so much. I think leather needs more edgy silhouettes.
Thinking about it more... I think it's very revealing. About the person's psyche. It's such a deliberate and obvious attempt to create a certain image of themselves. It's like their handshake. You know it's going to be firm, and they are doing absolutely everything they can to try and let you know that they are trying to be the top dog, maybe even to intimidate you. It's like saying, "It's on. Give me your best shot." The other person is either intimidated, or loves the challenge and knows he is going into the ring with this person.
I love leather and it looks good but i wouldn't think it would be great for business. It's just an opinion. I haven't seen a Wealth Manager, CEO, Investors etc dress like this. They tend to not get out of their comfortzone but who knows what next will be the new norm.
Yes and, well, I have seen lots of billionaire CEOs. and politicians dress in leather, but mostly a leather blazer or bomber tamed down with formal skirts or pants.
Absolutely! I think the business suit with leather pants or leather skirt look is very chic and sophisticated. It exudes confidence and power, which are two traits that I admire in a professional setting. It definitely stands out from the crowd and makes a great impression.
No, its the kind of look that will put you under the cross hairs of your boss and HR if your male, as a woman you'd probably get away with it because 'fashion!'.
Edit: I do see CEOs in leather. It is not hard to look up some examples of male and female officials in leather attire. I would love to see more sheepskin leather as formal wear. The softness and cool touch is a nice alternative to the usually wool formal attire. As for me, I love to wear my favorite leather dress or my skinny leather jacket for every occassion. If it is appropriate totally depends on the leather and shape. Total biker leathers look too rough for work!
