<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Technically, Yes
"Can" is a question of physical ability. In this regard, men are fully capable of donning leather pants and going out in broad daylight. Moreover, there are some social groups in which wearing leather pants is completely acceptable. For example, individuals with handlebar mustaches and large motorcycles tend to have a certain affinity for leather pants that is generally regarded as normal.
On the Other: However, Know Your Limits
Surveys on Yahoo and AllExperts indicate that even non-Harley-enthusiast men are capable of pulling off leather pants as long as they stay conservative and don't buy pants that are too tight. Women report that tight leather pants are a turnoff, but plain black leather about the same looseness of a pair of jeans can work.
Bottom Line
Depending on your personality, physical appearance, reputation and a dozen other social factors, there will always be fashions that you can or can't pull off. Being sensitive to this is key to not becoming a fashion disaster. A good rule of thumb is to ask your friends if they think you could pull it off and trust their opinion.
