Ever since Olivia Newton-John’s Sandy Olsson metamorphosed and sauntered onto that fairground of Rydell High School in her skin-tight disco pants and red pumps, cigarette ablaze, shiny pants have been the hottest of the hot. And even more so, not for the faint of heart. Although the exact nature of Sandy’s pants is debatable (Spandex? leather?), the fact remains that leather or faux leather leggings are one of the ultimate ways to achieve a look that is sleek, sexy, and chic. But beware—pick the wrong pair, and things could take a turn for the worst. The last thing you want is an unflattering, costume-looking, squeak-with-every-step pair that are more “faux pas” than “faux leather.”
I’ve researched the market, scouring the web for the cream of the crop, and am here to share my findings with you. Below, find 12 of the most fabulous faux leather leggings—including high-waisted leggings—that will, in fact, make you walk with an added swagger. Get ready to feel yourself.
