I have two pairs - one black and one chocolate brown. Mine aren't jersey but like "pants" like the above pic in grey. I've been wearing mine with brown or black tall boots and I like to wear fishnet type tights in black or espresso colors with them. (doesn't look sl*tty or stupid, honest)
I've seen others wear the same type of thing around my area in Wisconsin but usually women my age or older (I'm mid 30's). This look is great paired with a clingly sweater with a cowl neck and a long beaded type necklace. Too me anyway.
