SPRAY-ON trousers are one of spring’s hottest – and sweatiest – trends.
High-shine, skintight styles have been seen on celebrities including Kate Beckinsale, Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian.
In fact, fashion has developed a serious fetish for the dominatrix look. For those planning to get glam, we tried out some high street efforts.
Model Tinna Bergs, 34, tells us how she got on and gives each pair a talc rating out of ten – with one being squeak-free and ten needing tons of powder.
Tinna says: “These were a nightmare. They stuck to my legs when putting them on and were so tight they show up every lump and bump. A serious case of VPL.”

The coolest
Tinna says: “I love these. They went on like a normal pair. The flared legs give them a retro feel and they are much cooler than super-skinny styles.”

Tinna says: “I feel like I’m wearing a superhero costume and these trousers might as well be PVC tights. My feet barely fit through and pulling them up proved difficult, especially getting past the knees.”

The verdict
Fabulous says: “PVC trousers are guaranteed to make a statement, show and enhance your curves.
“It’s a daring celebrity trend to tackle but be bold and embrace it. As our test proves, it can be tricky to get vinyl trousers on and off. But if you find the right pair for you, go for it.
“They are a huge trend that can work for glam nights out when paired with your dancing shoes and favourite top.
“Or for a hot date, try a smoking red pair with an even hotter top. Just keep your talc handy.”
