It's said that diamonds are a girl's best friend, but there's no doubt faux leather leggings come in as a close second. The glam wardrobe staple can be dressed up to look like a million bucks while still giving the comfy/cozy feel of your fave lounging pants. Often made with stretchy, booty-sculpting material, the best faux leather leggings can feel just as amazing as their cotton cousins.
Sure, they'll keep your legs warmer than your traditional workout styles will, and yes, when paired with boots, you can totally trick everyone into thinking you put on real pants when you're really just wearing your stretchiest leggings. But of all the endless reasons there are to love these chic bottoms, our favorite has to be that faux leather leggings provide that "It" factor without a super hefty price tag.
