Leather look jeans - does a perfect pair exist?

46 replies

I'm a wobbly size 12 and desperate to get some leather look jeans to wear with cosy jumpers and boots for autumn. I've seen lots of women looking amazing in this type of outfit so bought a few pairs but here are my issues:

  • New Look version - look nice but the fabric makes a really odd scratchy, plasticky noise when I walk (no thigh gap here!)
  • Spanx leather leggings - no weird noise and very comfortable, but VERY tight being Spanx (potential camel toe territory). Also really thin fabric so pretty chilly

Does a perfect pair exist which don't feel, sound or look weird in some way? I had a third pair (can't remember where from) and they bagged at the knee after one wear!

Where are all of you put-together ladies finding your leather jeans?

These [[https://www.luxury-legs.com/clothing-c2/commando-perfect-control-faux-leather-leggings-p2280 ]] are the best ones I have had. They keep their shape, no sagging, stay up & look like real leather. Ignore the images on the site - not the best photos - but if you search elsewhere for the brand you’ll get a better idea. I bought from this company because they had a good discount if buying via their app.

The M&S ones are back in stock. I've just ordered myself a pair in black Grin

icelollycraving · 12/10/2020 20:59

I may have ordered several pairs again Blush

CleanQueen123 · 13/10/2020 08:58

I was undecided and then remembered I had a £30 M&S gift card so now I don't have to feel guilty about buying even more clothes because it's not my money Grin

I had a £5 one knocking about that I used. Hope after I raved about them, that you all like them!

Fab! Grin

CleanQueen123 · 13/10/2020 12:41

Fingers crossed. If I do then I'll get them in burgundy too to replace my old Primark ones.

Tempnamelady · 13/10/2020 13:54

I ordered two sizes in regular leg hope they aren’t too long ! If they are nice I’ll get the khaki too

itsmeagainagain · 13/10/2020 18:16

those M & S ones look great - anyone happy to share a pic of them on? They're in my basket!! thanks

Purplecatshopaholic · 13/10/2020 18:28

I have the same ones as @smileannie. Love them so much I bought a second pair. They are thin material though, so defo more leggings-like.

CleanQueen123 · 16/10/2020 18:55

They're here! I love them. Very flattering and comfortable.

I thought they might be sweaty or make me look like an overstuffed sausage but they're lovely Grin

Thanks for the recommendations!

icelollycraving · 16/10/2020 19:24

Mine came today. They are running more generous size wise than last year. Glad you like them Cleanqueen

CleanQueen123 · 16/10/2020 19:49

I'm quite pleased about that if I'm honest. There's nothing worse than ordering tight trousers and finding they're too tight and look it!

Lndnmummy · 16/10/2020 22:07

So I gave in and ordered the M&S legging ones. Even though I wanted a jeans style with back pockets. Also wasn’t keen on the crease at the front. Anyway, they arrived last night. Have lived in them since. They are gorgeous and so flattering (c section yummy). I have the short style and I’m 5.2. Love them.

icelollycraving · 18/10/2020 19:39

These are on the mn swears by email Smile

Tempnamelady · 18/10/2020 21:30

My m and s ones arrived , I am converted !

CleanQueen123 · 20/10/2020 09:00

I love mine. I wore them all day yesterday and they were great. Not too tight. Not sweaty. Warm.

I might have to order them in burgundy as well.

GhettoFabulous · 20/10/2020 13:43

Do the M and S ones have a proper gusset or is it a centre seam? I don't like chafing on the nethers.

icelollycraving · 23/10/2020 15:41

Just got the ones from Tu. They are 25% off at the mo and also great. A bit longer than the M&S ones. I also got the faux leather shirt and dress which I’m undecided on.

MrsWhites · 24/10/2020 16:08

Thanks for the tip on the m&s ones, mine arrived today. They look great on and are really comfortable!
