What are your thoughts on leather? Me I happen to love leather and I wear lots of it when I go out with my boyfriend, I own 1 black knee length leather coat, 2 leather blazers (1 black and 1 maroon), 1 black full length coat, 2 black leather skirts, 1 pair of black leather pants and 3 patented leather boots (1 black, 1 brown and 1 tan).

I have been an aficianado of leather since my late high school, early college days; let's just say it's 28 years later, and there's no looking back. You can't go leather head to toe, or you'll look like a spokemodel for Harley Davidson; think PIECES, PARTS, CHIC. You need to keep it up to date, trendy, clean and good looking, your hair and makeup need to be impeccable, as does your figure (there is nothing more disgusting than a fat woman in leather pants or bulging out of a skirt that is too short!) Get classic pieces--trench coat, leather blazet, knee lenth skirt, pants. Obviously don't wear it all at once. Mix it with the classics--a wool blazer, a crisp blouse, black turtleneck, big gold chains, great pumps, a great color cami. Also, the minute a piece starts to show ANY sign of wear------TOSS IT! Nothing dates you more than old looking leather. If you do it right, you can do it practically forever---it IS A STAPLE.

As Craig B. noted, leather (unlike fur) is a by-product of the meat industry, which would probably go to waste otherwise. Still, as a vegetarian, I avoid extravagant uses of leather. It is challenging to find good shoes without leather. A leather coat has practical advantages. But leather seats in a car are -- to me -- not even practical, they are just status symbols. If your friend is vegetarian for humanitarian or environmental (not just health) reasons, leather car seats would seem hypocritical. Why not ask her about it, respectfully? You could have a good conversation, and gain some understanding.

I really really wish they made a widely available alternative. I'm not crazy about skinning animals.



And if it doesn't bother you then your souless.
