I don’t think leather is untzniyus, and it definitely doesn’t make people think of inappropriate things.
I have a leather jacket. It’s extremely comfortable, and also keeps me very warm in the autumn/early winter time (it’s not for when it’s below freezing outside.) I don’t think it has anything to do with a motorcycle gang – I don’t have the metal studs on it, I don’t have any patches on it, or art on the back. It’s just plain leather.
mannster613: I think you’re 100% wrong. Honestly, I’m sick of people saying that all men are animals. We’re not. I’ve been working in a corporate office for many years. There are women here who dress in extremely tight clothes, very low-cut collars, and other things a frum Jewish woman would never wear. Guess what? I’ve never done anything inappropriate!
When I read a post here about how a girl says she needs to dress properly because all men are animals, and she doesn’t want to tempt them (I believe someone wrote a poem about it a few months ago), I laugh! These girls are full of themselves, with huge egos! Do you really think all men find you attractive? We don’t! Get over yourself! You dress properly because that’s what the halachah says to do, not because men are animals.
