It took me a while to hop on the faux leather leggings trend. I wasn’t sure if they suited my style, and I assumed they’d be too long on me and not as flattering anyway. So, I held off—until this year. That’s when I discovered that the highly popular Spanx Faux Leather Leggings actually come in a petite version! While they are a bit of an investment, their versatility, comfort, and flattering fit make them well worth the price. Keep reading for all the details!
FOUR WAYS TO WEAR FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS
WITH FUR

Remember when fur vests were everywhere a few years ago? Well, they’re making a comeback, and I couldn’t resist picking one up from LOFT this season. My husband jokingly calls it a “wolf coat,” which makes it hard to keep a straight face—but honestly, I feel fabulous in it! I styled it with a tunic, faux leather leggings, and chic booties for a polished yet cozy look.
WITH A PONCHO

I spotted this cape/poncho on so many of my blogger friends before finally deciding to get one for myself. I knew I was at least a foot shorter than most of them, but I wanted to give it a try anyway—and I’m so glad I did! While it’s a bit long on me, that actually makes it perfect for pairing with leggings. It’s incredibly warm, and I love the side slits that let a bit of your shape show through.
WITH A BLAZER

Any long blazer will do for this look, but I chose my sweater blazer! I showed this one with two different pairs of shoes, booties for a little bit more warmth and flats for a cute pop of leopard!
WITH A JEAN JACKET

For an effortless, everyday look, I styled my faux leather leggings with a classic jean jacket and my favorite wedge sneakers. To keep things balanced and modest, I layered a tunic underneath. It’s the perfect mix of casual and chic!
CONCLUSION
These leggings come in a variety of stylish options and are available in sizes XS–3X, with petite and tall lengths as well! I’m wearing the petite version, and while I did cuff the bottoms under slightly, you can hardly tell. Do you own a pair of faux leather leggings? How do you like to style yours?
