Let Your Balls Breathe: Four Reasons Why Men Should Steer Clear Of The Leather Pants Trend Posted by Danielle Harling on 09/27/12 | Filed under Humor, Style

Once fall hits, both men and women are bombarded with a number of trends in fashion that are supposedly going to be all the rave. For the most part these trends are pretty spot on, but occasionally you get a few that are all kinds of wrong. Take for instance, the men's leather pants trend. I really feel like I shouldn't have to explain why men should steer clear of this trend, but I'll do it anyway.

You're Not A Member Of G.O.O.D. Music - For whatever reason, the good folks at G.O.O.D. Music (primarily Kanye West) are able to get away with wearing some ridiculously weird sh*t and unless you're on the verge of signing your contract with the label then please leave the leather pants on the H&M rack where you found them. (Just look at how sad Kanye is wearing those leather pants in the picture above, it just breaks my heart)

Clothing Your Girlfriend Or Little Sister Can Borrow Is A No-No - When you're wearing the same leather, straight-leg pants as your girlfriend then Houston we've got a problem. Yeah, I hate to break it to you but the cool leather pants you bought at Diesel look exactly like the ones Becky and Suzanne copped at Forever 21 last month for their first day of 8th grade.

Your Balls Love You & You Love Them - So why you would stuff them in a non-ventilated pair of dark and foreboding leather pants is beyond me.

There's A 99.9% Chance That You're Not In A 90's Glam Metal Band - Unless you're rocking out with your KISS tribute band at the local watering hole or hitting up next month's Halloween party as a glam rocker, then there's no need to bust out the leather pants...ever.
