Ok so in case you haven’t noticed, leather is suuuuper in right now! And if you had noticed and tried shopping for something, you probably realized that leather is crazy $$$$$ LOL! I went on a mission to find some good quality AND affordable faux leather options that actually looked real. TBH it was hard and there were so many disappointments, but I found a few that I actually really liked!
Side note – I am OBSESSED with cognac colored leather pants because they look so rich, and they are unique compared to the more common black color which I why I chose to style the ones you see in these pics 🙂
- Lucy Paris: These ones are probably my fav of the three. They fit great and are so flattering! They also look like they’re made of real leather. Comes in 3 different colors. There is another similar option HERE.
- Commando: This is a really good faux leather legging option. They are comfy and they look real! This is a great option to wear casually, or to dress up for a night out.
- Spanx: Ok, so sizing makes of makes or breaks these ones! If you are in between sizes, go up! I initially got them in the XS and they fit but were I bit too snug. This made the “leather” look cracked and I hated how that looked. When I sized up I loved them! A great option to wear any day!
- Lastly HERE is a pair that is a bit pricey but looks so gorgeous!

I hope this gives some inspo on the different ways to style leather pants. Although it doesn’t seem like it, they are diverse and go well with so many different outfits and styles. Don’t be afraid of leather on leather either and remember it doesn’t take a super expensive pair to pants to rock the trend!
XOXO,
