No. Because work attire is mean to not offend. You could offend someone with a large leather piece just like you would a fur coat. Leave your personal style for your social life.
Oh please....One could "offend" someone in any number of ways. I suppose that if a FLDS person came to my workplace they could be "offended" because I, as a woman, have short hair and wear pants; I suppose a practicing Muslim could be "offended" if I don't wear a headcovering....the list goes on. This is the Fashion and Beauty forum. Take your political/lifestyle choices to Great Debates, or Politics or whatever....

If that was the case/really an issue we'd all wear nondescript uniforms or something. As I said before, I think it really does depend on the job, but if everyone was worried about offending someone by what they wear then I think more businesses would have stricter dress codes. If that were the case, I'd be sad, because then I wouldn't be able to wear Slipknot shirts to work! I don't really care if I offend someone with what I wear either, btw, so long as it covers the majority of my body and is safe for my work environment.
Depends on the leather and, honestly, what kind of shape you're in and how it fits. A lady I worked with frequently wore a pair of brown leather pants to work. Looked GREAT and perfectly acceptable for the office. She was in good shape, the pants fit well (not tight) and she wore them with very polished twinset tops.
Well the business make dress codes for a reason. I guess you never worked anywhere that had strict codes.
Well, obviously it depends on the business. Unfortunately, I have worked some places with VERY strict dress codes. But many places would be perfectly fine with someone wearing not-tight brown leather pants with a conservative cardigan and heels... fringe biker pants, probably not so much.
It depends entirely on what kind of business and what the occasion is...Heady Corporate board meeting? Nah. Meeting a new client? Maybe not. Day-to-day operations, sure. Although I would recommend something other than the lovely but sparse camisole in this last image.

They are a bit nutty. I have seen codes that restrict color, fit and length like a private catholic school or something
Is it appropriate to wear leather to work (jacket, pants or a skirt) as long as it's classy looking?
I can't seem to picture it
I imagine it would be appropiate as long as it is not cheap looking
black, brown, or "pleather"
for some reason I envision John Travolta" in "Staying Alive"
seriously though; if you are classy i'm sure you will wear it well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvQ8sUbgA2c

Yeah... the most obnoxious dress code I had (research firm with no client contact) didn't allow women to wear shoes with open toe or heel (so, even dressy mules were out), pantyhose required, no sleeveless tops (as in, not even sleeveless dresses/shells a la Michelle Obama with an open cardigan on top). And, they "preferred" employees to NOT wear suits/jackets because they wanted a more casual look. Actually, most people dressed like total slobs, but management was fine with that so long as the rules weren't broken.
