Faux leather leggings recommendations

[zippyswife]

Looking for an inexpensive comfy pair that don't bag and keep their shape. I don't want to spend tonnes as I'm not sure if I can really pull off the look. Want to wear them casual with a jumper and trainers.

I tried a pair on in next which seemed ok but not that comfortable. Any ideas?

Is the fact that there's no response indicative that this is a naff question. Maybe I should step away from the pvc!!!!

I thought I'd tentatively try these out by getting some cheap ones from eBay. I got some surplus stock New Look ones. I have to say I'm not convinced by them. If I stood completely still in them, they might be ok but I'm not sure I'd trust them not to split , make me really hot and just look a bit cheap.

I've decided coated/waxed skinny jeans might be the way forward. Someone on the recent real leather leggings thread recommended the H&M ones but they're sold out. I might go back to eBay. I think with their majority cotton mix they've got to be better than just wearing pure PU, right?

Anyway, sorry no actual recommendation but i reckon in the absence of splurging on real leather, the waxed/coated jeans will look and feel better.

Just bought the mint velvet ones - the faux leather leggings for £80, not the leather trousers for £300+ and they’re lovely.

Got a great pair in Tescos for £16! Plum, skinny and very cool... i even wore them to a Jesus and Mary Chain gig and got lots of comments!

Thanks for the responses.

I don't suppose you could link the tescos ones?

I have a pair from M&S from last year - they were £30 (but got 20% off)

I'm a size 10/12 - but I have a pair in size 8 as size 10 was weirdly baggy. They are ok - but do slide down a bit. Not got baggy at all though and wash easily

Next ones are fab

If that doesn't work just search f &f trousers and filter colour purple! Happy wearing!

And i only went in for bread and milk! X

I searched for these before and ended up.with a pair of coated skinnies which were fab at the time but have gradually lost their coating and now just look black

I've just ordered these Spanx ones in burgundy (also available in black) which I have high hopes for. Hoping they will have a somewhat Spanx effect too.

Those Tesco ones look great!

I love my coated jeans , in my opinion they are much more flattering . H and m are the best but they are in most of the shops at the mo .

Tesco have those in black too, I bought them last year but found them a bit thin for my big bum . They would be fab on someone with a looser knitted jumper !

I got mine from Primark last year. They are brilliant.

I'm very late to the (faux) leather legging bandwagon. I've only just lost 2 stone, so it would not have been a good look with my previously ginormous thighs. But now I'm less pear-shaped, I really want to try these. I've bought a pair of coated skinnies from Massimo Dutti and I really like them - smarter than jeans, but still informal.

I cannot bring myself to spend £300+ on a pair of leather leggings but I'm happy to spend up to £50ish on faux leather, if they really fit well and don't bag. I've looked at the Mint Velvet ones and they're very legging - I don't want to wear something that looks like a shiny pair of tights. Ideally, they'd be a bit more substantial than that. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

hopefully please report back on the Spanx ones! Have looked at them before...

Just ordered the tescos ones in black. I went for regular length. Im 5 8" but I wanted a bit of a gap- want to wear them with trainers. Not sure if I'm actually to old for all this malarkey!

In case this is of any interest ... Spanx faux leather with 20% off via Shopbop

Spanx leggings report: AWESOME. Nice and holdy inny, very high waist so no muffin top. Don’t look like leather particularly, more like a cross between leather and suede, but they do look ace on. Will probably also order in the navy.

They also aren’t going to fool anyone that they are real. But I think they are good in their own right, if that makes sense.

Well the tescos ones at £16 are great I think. I’ll report back once I’ve washed them and worn them a bit more. But at the moment they look good and are very comfy.

Thanks for the recommendation!

@Hopefully - how did the sizing come up on the Spanx - I'm a 10 - should I get S or M do you think?

Ive bought the Tesco ones but I’m not loving them. They seem to have lots o weird excess material. I bought a size 6 and 8 but neither really fit.

I’m going to try th Spanx ones. Any other recommendations?

I tried the black Tesco ones on today.....I really wanted to love them but was just a bit meh, so put them back on the rail.
