I have been peremptorily ordered to wear leather pants by at least two acquaintances. Thus far I have resisted. Quite honestly I think I’d look atrocious.
I do, however, know one rather scatterbrained but perfectly gorgeous twink who, in his leather pants, looks like sex on legs (even more so than normal), so there you go.
Women in leather pants: stunning hot.
Men in leather pants: somewhat repulsive (although it seemed like black guys in the 80’s & 90’s looked pretty cool in them).
I would wear them for FaerieBeth. 
Just a week ago, I was falsely accused of wearing leather shorts.
Seriously.
I’m the lead singer/guitarist in a rock band, and I wouldn’t wear them onstage or anywhere else, except maybe Halloween.

Slap my shins and call me Klaus!
I had a pair in my early ‘20’s when I was trying to be all rock n’ roll. As a guitarist in a bunch of bands, I thought I had “the card” to get into that club.
Boy was I wrong - probably the biggest Glamour Don’t I have every perpetrated - and their have been plenty.
There are about .5% of the male population who can pull off wearing leather pants. I am clearly not one of them.
There are a few men who are so hot in leather pants, looking at them is like freebasing sex. I don’t know any of them; I’ve only seen them on tv. But they’re out there somewhere.
If the man looks good in his leather pants, then yes.
If he has a 34-inch waist, then he’s probably close to looking bad in them. I’d prefer a little more meat. 
i have a pair of leather pants. i’m definitely not gay and i’m definitely not fat or middle aged. i’m 24. i don’t always bust them out and they’re not even for special occasions. hell, i’ve never even had any shit from wearing them either. my roommates thought they were cool and the chicks dug it, so yeah.
…and my bellybutton is pierced too. commence with the homosexual insinuations!
Leather pants don’t make me think a guy is likely to be gay. But, like FaerieBeth, I do tend to think he probably has an interest in spankings.
And that’s bad… why?
If there’s anything I learned from the collected works of Joss Whedon, it’s that leather pants = evil. So I vote no. Unless you want to look evil, of course.
Colored leather is worse than black or brown. I don’t think even a pirate could get away with that.
Jeans that don’t fit are cringe-inducing, so leather pants on the wrong body type for their cut would magnify that exponentially by a factor of at least 6.
Great-fitting jeans are hot, so I could see leather pants that fit as being evil-hot.
Depends on the guy wearing them. If he looks like he stepped out of Velvet Goldmine, good. If he looks like he stepped out of an 80s hair video, bad.
So, sky blue leather pants wouldn’t be okay? :dubious:
I don’t know any pirates or rock stars, but I definately think that leather pants are acceptable on men riding motorcycles. But they have to be actually riding the bike when they’re wearing the pants. Some guy hopping out of his Camry dressed in leather pants, a Harley shirt and a do-rag looks ridiculous. But the exact same outfit is fine when the dude is on his bike.
Only if the guy passes the gut, butt, and biceps test first.
An “assless chap” is a UK guy who has laughed his ass off (larfed 'is arse off.)
Long ago, when I had a motorcycle, I had a pair of leather pants to ward off road rash. I sold 'em with the bike.
Leather garments smell bad after a few wearings, and very few cleaners want any part of them. They’re cold in the winter, and hot in the summer.
