Faux leather leggings because comfort > everything

So I’m a huge fan of this trend because it essentially just gives us all more excuses to wear leggings in public and I am all about that life. Faux leather leggings are a great way to make your leggings look a little more dressed up (but you can very easily dress them down). Throw them on under a big sweater/tunic and pair with boots or dress it way down with a sweatshirt and sneakers- whatever floats your boat- they are super versatile. Would not recommend working out in them, just because I don’t think faux leather is very breathable material if you know what I mean. Not an experiment I’m willing to try. But otherwise however you want to style them seems fair game to me!

Now allllll the intsa fashion bloggers I follow rave about the Spanx version. I trust these girls. I don’t know them personally, but for some reason I trust them. And I’ve been tempted to buy them, but I got a little turned off by the high price tag.

I’ll list the OG’s (as always), but I will also list some more budget-friendly options below.

Faux Leather Leggings $98.00 from Spanx.com, 4.4 Stars, 2,545 Reviews (pulled from different sites by Google) True to size unless you’re uncomfortable with a tight fit, then size up! Many people feel these are worth the price, so if you must splurge on a legging, this is the one.

Faux Leather Leggings $49.90 from Express, 4.5 Stars, 385 Reviews, SO if you are SHORT these run large so you should size down (short girls seem to complain about the length) If you are TALL (I’d say 5’5” and up) these run small, so size UP. I own these, I’m 5’6” (no butt) and these fit great except that I wanted them to be more high waisted on me. If you don’t mind that it sits a little lower, then you’re fine ordering TTS.

Just The Beginning Leggings Black $36.00 from Pink Lily Boutique, No reviews yet! I looked at all the other leggings on their site though and all have ratings of 4.8 and up and mostly run TTS! And now I want to buy all their other leggings, but that’s for another post.

Women’s Faux Leather High-Rise Leggings $16.00 from Target, 4.3 Stars, 267 Reviews, Per reviews size down if you like a tighter fit (especially around the ankles). These are by the Wild Fable brand at Target (I’m recently very obsessed) and they are only $16.00 !! I mean you could buy 6 pairs of these and you are still spending less than the ONE Spanx pair. Just sayin. However if you actually go into Target to buy these, you’ll probably end up dropping $100 on variety of others things because… Target.
