i just saw a man wearing leather pants, which makes it now about half a dozen 40+ year old men wearing tight leather man pants IN THE OFFICE here in nuremberg. what is all the hoopla about these leather pants? are they trying to out-tight each other or what? and it's not like they're even biker dudes or trying to be gothic or anything like that. they're wearing a normal button-up shirt and normal shoes. from a fashion perspective, it's completely wrong. i mean, if you're gonna wear leather pants, you have to go all out. it's not an accessory like a watch or an earring. leather pants are one of those things that cannot be part of a normal ensemble.
but let's not even talk about fashion, let's talk about sanity! why are they wearing leather pants? i'm fortunate, at the moment, that none of my colleagues actually wear them. although it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't have them, but at least i haven't seen it. and what's funny is that i've also seen my therapist wear them. at least he changed before we started our session because there was no way i could see him after that. (another seinfeld episode - seriously they've covered all topics it seems like). but why was he wearing them? is that what he wears outside of our therapy? i would never imagine it. it's like seeing mister rogers wear them with his sweater.
so what is it about leather pants. is it warm? is it comfortable? it's certainly not cheap. can someone explain this to me?
