I finally own a pair of the cult favorite Spanx faux leather leggings. Pardon, muah!? Yup, it’s true. And, I have to be honest… I’m not sure why it took me so long? I purchased and returned them not once, but twice in the past. But, perhaps I tried them on a day when I was bloated? Or, maybe, and more likely, I was being practical because I had a similar pair from another brand? Either way, there’s absolutely a place for both in my closet and today’s post shares 3 ways to style Spanx faux leather leggings.

3 Ways to Style Spanx Faux Leather Leggings
Faux leather leggings are a girls best friend. You thought that was diamonds? Nay. Spanx changed that when their leggings went mainstream. Want to feel chic on the weekend? Wear these leggings. Need a cute outfit for date night? No problem – reach for the leggings. Need to be cozy but still feel elevated. Again, I tell you – grab the leggings.
This isn’t a sales pitch. The Spanx faux leather leggings simply work in every situation I mentioned above. A little over a year ago I wrote a review on their Air Essentials collection. Since I don’t wear shapewear and didn’t own the famous leggings, I wasn’t sure what to expect. They absolutely crushed it with the comfy athleisure pieces that are perfect for travel and everyday. So, with all the hype surrounding their leggings I was skeptical. While I would suggest sizing up one size (if you don’t like compression like me), they’ve knocked it out of the park with faux leather leggings that simply don’t feel faux.
Below is a breakdown on three ways of how to style faux leather leggings from my video above.
How to style faux leather leggings for fall and winter
For a cozy look you can take into fall and winter, style your leggings with a supersoft, oversized sweater. I have this one and while it works great with denim, its just such a cute look for date nights during the colder months with faux leather leggings. You want your sweater to be longer to cover your behind! Pair the fit with your go-to black booties (use code AMANDA20 for 20% off) that you can wear comfortably for hours that also dress up the look.
How to style faux leather leggings for work
My motto is always be overdressed. For some, wearing faux leather leggings in the office may be a bit much. But, for those that can do it – throw on an easy tee (I own this one in multiple colors) and a longer blazer. This type of outfit will take you straight into happy hour and is a classic way to wear leather leggings. Again, your black booties are a winner with this look. Then, in winter you can wear your knee high boots or over the knee boots too.
How to style faux leather leggings for school pickup
As a mom on-the-go, I know all too well that you may wear one thing during the day and another to pick up. Not anymore. These Spanx faux leather leggings are carpool line ready! Just grab your fave sweatshirt (this one by Nike is perfectly oversized and so soft on the inside) and sneakers. Voila! Best dressed mom for daycare or school.
Are Spanx faux leather leggings worth it?
YES! The Spanx faux leather leggings are a quality item that you’ll wear on repeat. The leather detail is sort of the perfect in-between of dressy and casual. So, they work in either scenario. These are an easy “buy” recommendation for me. Drop any questions in the comments box below!
