How to Style Faux Leather Leggings

November 4, 2016

I thought we might as well talk about how to style faux leather leggings since I keep wearing them. To be honest, I have never been a huge legging fan. That is until I snagged a faux leather pair. Somehow they instantly add some edge while simultaneously being the most comfortable thing ever. If that isn’t a win, I don’t know what is. Here’s the truth: you can really style them with anything! I recently wore them with an embroidered tunic (post here), and I have a post coming up with a plaid top as well. Any looser, longer fitting piece on top will make the look and slim your legs all at the same time.

Today I styled my faux leather leggings with a black tunic blouse (non-maternity and the same as the white version I shared here), the coolest ombre style cardigan, and my over the knee boots. A cardigan is an easy layering piece that covers a little more if you are so inclined. Scroll down for more styling options. If you’re in the market for a faux leather pair, I bought mine atΒ Forever21 last year. This pair is almost exact. After baby, I am buying the Spanx pair. I had heard great things and tried them on in-store. I need a little more give at the moment, but they are suuuppper flattering.

    Oh yes, cardigan and over the knee boots or with a cute floral tunic is the way I’d style those leggings too. πŸ™‚
    Have a great weekend beauty!

    I actually was wanting a pair of these, but then that small voice in the back of my head said, “you’re too old for those”. They just look so interesting…like you have got tons of moxie!!

    I love your ombre cardigan. Black and grey is a combo that I’ve always loved. I’ve also really been loving the faux leather leggings, but I’m afraid to try it myself. I especially like how you styled them with that long sweater. So chic!
