Leather trousers are having a moment. It started on the autumn/winter 2010 catwalks of Isabel Marant, Balmain and Versace, and was quickly adopted (like all important trends), by Kate Moss, then Rihanna and Victoria Beckham.- In pictures: Men in leather trousers, fashion's biggest crime?

But news that erstwhile leather-trouser-lover Brad Pitt had dusted off his pre-Angelina pair for one more jaunt down the red carpet, is a trend taken too far.
If ever there were a man who could pull off leather trousers, it would surely be Pitt, the hunky action hero and Nazi slayer. After all, he's one Hollywood star whose sexuality never gets called into question- not with all those offspring and the world's sexiest woman on his arm - so what could possibly go wrong…?
Oh Brad. Allow me break it down for you. To paraphrase Churchill: Never, in the field of fashion, has so much wrongness been wrought by one garment, to so many. Translation: Leather trousers are to men's fashion what Ugg Boots and pyjama bottoms are to womenswear - a 24ct no no.
You have to wonder where his wife was when he was getting ready, but in truth Angelina is a bit partial to a man in leather trousers, ex-husband Billy-Bob Thornton having also been keen on them when they were an item. Maybe they were her idea, or worse, she bought them, or…gasp!...she talced him down ready for lift-off!
If there were ever any doubts the two of them are really in love, these are surely the pictures that will silence the rumours. Only true love could see past those pants.
