Leather leggings are incredibly versatile and flattering to the figure. They deserve a place on your A-list. Faux leather is the rockstar fabric of all fabrics. It offers an alternative to real leather that’s cruelty-free and delivers all of the high fashion without affecting your conscience.
You don’t need to be a Jagger to wear faux leather. Leggings make it easy to slip into the slick, supple material. They are a wardrobe essential. Leather leggings are a great way to stay comfortable and look stylish. They can be worn to work or to any other after-hours plans. The sleek, simple design can be worn in many different ways.
If you want to embrace your grungier side, pair the patent pants up with a motorcycle coat and an oversized t-shirt. A structured peplum shirt instantly elevates leather pants. A crisp white shirt with a button-down collar keeps the look business casual. You can score extra points by finding leggings with a glossy finish, or in highly pigmented colors like emerald and oxblood.
