No she didn't ask me, I took it upon myself to get it for her.

Ahh quite a bit:

Long leather jacket/dress
Brown Thomas fawn colour leather suit
Fawn leather skirt
Tan leather skirt and jacket
Jasper Conran black leather skirt
Classic black leather jacket
Black leather trousers
Miss sixty trousers
Dark brown leather trousers

And various different boots. She does have normal clothes too, and the lot listed here just tends to be for going out somewhere.

Everything in this thread is just so vile. I imagine you could in theory get a very nice leather coat but the ones I've seen here... well, let's just say they wouldn't be the best outfits for a day trip to Ipswich.

Have to agree with DoctorJ again, it looks great, though a longer version of your first post would be the business.

Don't worry about it Sarah. If I was your boyfriend I'd be delighted at your choice of clothes. I think a lot of guys would be thrilled with what you decide to wear.
Most of all though don't worry about what anyone else has to say. I think these kind of clothes are in your nature. If you like them and you feel comfortable, feck what anyone else has to say on the matter.

Knack central?? I've never seen a knacker wearing a long black leather jacket, they tend to go for trackies....

As for the matrix nonsense, from what I see around campus not too many people wear this type of coat, so if like me you feel that less common=better than go for it.

It's a crying shame that some people confuse looking sexy with being a prostitute or a knacker. Personally, I think those clothes look great, definitley not the boring norm most of the clones around Dublin wear and it takes great self-confidence to wear something like that so fair play to you Sarah. It takes courage to stand out from the crowd. If you like it, wear it and good luck to you!

LOL...did you ever watch Glenroe ? Blackie Connors would have been proud of that coat

The fact you used the term "around campus" says it all. Stick to your UCD crew my friend

Tip, go to Bruxelles tonight (downstairs) and see plenty of matrix-esque punters wearing such a coat, they also like heavy metal, but maybe thats not somewhere you would feel safe, you better stay "on campus" LOL
NB: I dont think the lads who wear these coats in Bruxelles are ladies of the night though

How shallow. Maybe try just being yourself, and wearing what you like, whether it's "in" or "out"?

I don't think Sarah has a problem being herself! No harm in asking for people's opinions, especially when they are so ready to give them!

Ahh no problems Sarah. I admire you for being you and not getting dragged down with all the negativity that some people have for you towards the way you chose to dress.

Leather's no more slutty than any other material, and like all other materials the overall appearance depends on the cut of the outfit.

The image posted in the first post on this thread is, in my opinion, bloody awful. The coat looks like PVC, not leather, the cut's bound to make you look like two pigs fighting under a blanket and honestly speaking, what else could you imagine it with other than thigh high FMBs? Anything remotely bulky underneath it is just going to show throw the coat.

I worked with a girl who bought an ankle length black leather coat in Italy - it was gorgeous. The cut was magnificent, it was tailored to her shape, very, very simple in its lines, sheer pockets, covered buttons, lined with padded dark purple silk. Would've cost upwards of €600 if she'd bought it in Ireland I reckon.
