About this deal

These leggings feel a bit tight at first, but they do stretch and form to your body with time. We suggest going with your usual size and doing a couple of squats to get them loosened up.

These four-way stretch, high-waisted faux leather leggings come in eight full-coverage colors that never fade. Lifestyle Influencer and Beauty Writer Katya Bychkova appreciates that “they offer less compression, which makes them more comfortable for everyday wear,” she tells InStyle. “They feature a shiny, grainy texture to look more like genuine leather and could pass for skinny leather pants.” And InStyle senior commerce editor Chloe Anello swears by them, too, because they never roll down or weirdly gap at the ankles — a feat for a taller woman, like herself. They’re similar to Spanx, but according to Anello, they hold up a little better and have a more natural-looking faux leather, though they are a bit thinner than some expected. Plus, they have a much better size range. Faux leather leggings are the definition of a wardrobe staple. They’re elevated in style and go with practically everything, and they make it look like you actually put in effort to get dressed when you’re secretly just wearing comfy loungewear. Same thing goes if you’re plus-sized: Know your proportions and find a brand with an inclusive size range. We recommend the Good American Good Waist Faux Leather Leggings because they have an inclusive size range that goes up to 5XL. Polyester is a popular material for leggings because it’s durable, resistant to fading, and holds its shape after washing. It’s not a very breathable fabric, so it can feel stuffy in the summer, but it’ll keep you warm during winter. Nylon fabric is more breathable than polyester, but it’s just as durable. It’s known for its elasticity, so it’s easy to move in and won’t stretch out after use, making it a great choice for workout gear. Spandex is another great choice for activewear, since it’s lightweight and allows for completely unrestricted movement. It’s often blended with polyester to make it softer and even stretchier.

These faux leather workout leggings have a major cult following and for good reason. Not only are they sleek, elegant, and sexy, they’re made from a full coverage fabric with four-way stretch, allowing you to easily move through high-intensity workouts. The high-rise and wide waistband ensures you’re supported without feeling constricting, while the full length and glossy liquid finish feels high-end and perfect for nights out. Care Instructions. Some of the leggings on this list are machine-washable, others recommend hand washing and some are best brought to the pros at the dry cleaners. If you regularly make trips to the cleaners, adding one more item may not be such a big deal. For those who’d rather not invest in costly upkeep, looking for faux-leather leggings you can toss in the wash (but lay flat to dry) is likely a better option. If you are self-conscious about wearing leggings with a cropped top, I highly recommend getting faux leather pants. While these pants are pricey, they're built to last. They're made with a special weaving technique to prevent them from becoming baggy or losing their shape over time. No matter if you're lounging at home, working, or running errands, these pants will stay put, so you can focus on looking fabulous instead of discretely pulling up your leggings. Voguemax warns that their leggings may have a smell when you first unbox them, but once you wash them it should go away. They recommend that you dry clean them, but if you don't live near a dry cleaner, you can wash them with cold water on a gentle cycle to remove any odor.

Do you go with boots or flats? Sneakers or heels? Can you throw on a stiletto without looking like Sandy from Grease? Suede adds so much elegance, sophistication, and luxury to any outfit. With a buttery soft texture, elastane for comfy stretch, and high-rise, wide waistband, these leggings let you lounge in style. Designed with a premium fabric, they offer a polished appearance and all-day comfort,” Lloyd says. “The leggings' versatile style effortlessly transitions from work to social settings, making them a luxurious investment for those seeking sophistication and flexibility in their wardrobe. You will get so much wear out of these that it will be worth the investment!” However, fashion stylist Audree López explains that faux leather can also be made from “polyester, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), nylon, elastane, or a spandex blend.” With faux leather leggings, you’ll find that “typically, the base is made of nylon, spandex, polyester, etc, and then there is a coating on the outer layer of wax, dye, polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride to give the leggings a ‘leather look.’” If you live in a cold climate, faux leather leggings are some of the best options out there to keep you toasty warm. “Faux leather leggings are one of my go-to closet essentials for winter because they’re so comfortable and can pair seamlessly with a chunky sweater or tall boots,” says López. “Some can even keep me warmer than other pants or denim if they have fleece or thermal lining.”

Quality faux leather will have a deep, grainy texture but feel soft like genuine leather. But regardless of the texture — whether you prefer a patent (like Commando Faux Patent), a matte finish (like Good American Good Waist Faux Leather Leggings), or something in between like Spanx Faux Leather Leggings— it should feel sleek and ultra-smooth on the body because it will most likely be lined. You can wear them with any kind of footwear everything from boots to sneakers. Some leather leggings now also come fleece-lined. Making it more comfortable and warm to wear year-round! Who would have thought that I would just love styling ponchos? Wearing a poncho with your leather leggings is a smart way to elevate this look.

Not every legging is offered in petite sizes, so we love how Commando makes these in a petite inseam from XS to XL. Conroy suggests this style because they bring “sculpted excellence” to any look. With a high shine and a raw cut hem, these are for the glamorous that want to make a statement. I recommend this pair for our clients who are looking for luxurious texture and ethical materials,” says Lloyd. “Crafted from vegan suede, they offer a sophisticated look without compromising values. The leggings' versatility and softness make them a stylish option for various occasions, ensuring both fashion-forward appeal and a cruelty-free choice.” You may notice an off-gassing scent when you first open them, so you should probably give them a wash before wearing them out. They also have a shinier finish than other faux leather leggings, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. But if you're searching for an affordable option that will keep you cozy throughout your whole pregnancy, these are a great option to consider.

What to Wear with Leather Leggings

Nothing says chic like leather leggings and a camel coat. Such an easy, yet classic leather legging outfit idea. If there was ever a case to blow half of your rent on must-have leggings, this is it,” says fashion stylist and TV personality Cindy Conroy. “Mugler’s Debossed design is futuristic yet modern and approachable.”

These leggings do make a squeaking sound, which is pretty standard when you’re dealing with patent leather, faux and otherwise. If that bothers you, Commando recommends applying some clear lotion or body oil and rubbing it on the inner thighs of your pants to make them quieter.

Leather leggings are like the chameleon of bottoms because they can be dressed up, dressed down, and worn with many tops including vests. While traditional suede pants can typically cost a pretty penny, we love that these look more expensive than they are. And, unlike their animal suede counterpart, you can wash these at home. Just be sure to use cold water, so you don’t damage the material or shrink them. Again, we wish there was a wider size range, including tall and petite inseams. Wear them with a longline blazer or crisp white poplin and they are office-appropriate,” suggests Conroy. “Versatile enough to be worn on weekends and weekdays, they are your new wardrobe workhorse.” These can’t-be-beat leggings are made from Spanx’s signature faux leather fabric, which creates a smooth, streamlined appearance. Plus, their size range runs from XS-3X and includes petite and tall options, making them inclusive of a variety of body types. Made from buttery soft, matte faux leather, these size-inclusive leggings are straightforward and have plenty of stretch to keep you comfortable for all day wear. Plus, they let the booty do all the talking with a simple seam down the center and no other distractions.
