Faux really is the way to go when it comes to sustainable fashion that looks and feels as luxe and expensive as the real thing. While many think of fur at first, faux leather is one of the most trendy topics we’ve seen for 2022, and of course the most fashionable application of the hot fabric? Leggings.
We are no stranger to the stretch pants here at the Post, as we have reviewed countless pairs over the course of two years and counting, including some of the faux leather variety as well as cashmere-lined and some specially made. to make your booty look boosted.
Since we want to share the love for leggings in the new year, we decided a new roundup of only faux leather was needed, including celebrity-loved brands like Spanx and some new and exciting brands like Commando and more.
If you need help styling these trendy trousers, we can also help you there. In our bike shorts review we showed you that tight pants can be super versatile and these leather leggings are no different. For a more conservative look for the office, pair them with a longer top or layer a jacket on top, letting the legs peak out from underneath. For a more statement look, opt for a high-waisted pair of leggings or a flare cut and match that with a cropped shirt, blouse or even a blazer and a pair of heels and hit the town.
Read on for your leather-like fix and then shop them all, so no one can ever call your love for fashion fake — only your fabric choice.

Is brown the new black? We don’t know, but we do know that everyone should have a go-to pair of brown pants in their wardrobe and these are them. The Commando brand leggings also come in white, silvery gray and black, but the brown ones are a crowd-pleaser for sure and currently come in sizes ranging from an XS to a 3XL.
For an ultra-high-rise style, look no further. This pair from Abercrombie and Fitch is a must-have for styling with shorter tops or in a layered look with a coat or blazer and booties to finish the job. They come in black and range in size from an XXS to an XL, while supplies last.
Shine all night long with these show-stopping Barbarella patent leather pants. They are oh-so faux and actually made of a 4-way stretch fabric that shapes the body as well as shines with an iridescent finish. The black pants come in standard sizes from an XS to an XL and also have a matching bodysuit for the full dominatrix vibe.
What doesn’t Amazon have? They surely do have a bunch of options when it comes to leggings, but this pair from Leggings Depot was deemed an Amazon’s Choice for one of the best pairs on the platform.

Being fashionable shouldn’t stop for nine whole months while pregnant. That’s why Madewell made a pair for all pregnant peeps who want to rock the most current faux leather trend.

This trend has no size-restraints. Target is the place to go if you are on the hunt for fashionable and comfortable plus-sized faux leather leggings.

Don’t worry short stuff, we got you, too. Maybe it’s because the writer of this roundup happens to be on the short side, but we love this petite pair from the Loft for so many reasons. They also come in regular and tall lengths, and in a cool aqua color as well as in standard black and they won’t break the bank at $69 either. They range in size as well as length, from an XXS to an XXL.
These may not be leggings per say, but we love them just the same. To hop on the wide-leg trend that Gen Z is raving about, why not try faux leather out? This pair from Kardashian-founded Good American is a good investment, as the thick faux leather looks classy and sophisticated and the drawstring closure is super comfortable. The pants also come in a caramel color and range in size from a 0 to an 8, taking care to consult the size chart on the site.
Let’s get this straight, these may not be leggings, but we love them just the same. This straight-leg pair of pants is great for every occasion, styled casually with sneakers like in the photo above or dressed up with strappy heels and a top for a date night out.
