The Best Faux Leather Leggings

If you were following along on Instagram and Snapchat (username WAITINGONMARTHA) the other week, you stole down the streets of New Orleans with us as we set out to paint the town red (by noshing on all of the food, of course).  Not only did we have some pretty amazing bites (more on that soon), we peeked charming details almost everywhere we turned.  It was incredibly important to me to be stylish and comfortable during the day, but have the ability to make an easy quick change to something on the dressier side at night.  Enter my ultra comfortable, ultra flattering faux leather leggings I paired with an easy dress/coverup and my platform laceless sneakers (which yes, are seriously amazing). 

We popped in and out of distilleries, cheese shops, and straight into happy hours and dinners, so a versatile outfit like this was an absolute must.  The dress is actually an off the shoulder dress I wear all of the time on it’s own.  But for running around during the day I pulled it up, which allows for an exaggerated collar, and paired it with these leggings and a leather jacket making it super comfortable and super easy.

As far as the actual faux leather leggings go, I searched high and low for months, trying on high-dollar to low-dollar, real to fake, before finally settling on this pair by Lysse.  I’ve also had my eye on this pair because they look like pants not leggings, and then this pair for being super movable and having GREAT reviews. For me, the key is really having a pair that I can move in; one that doesn’t feel suffocating or limiting (while still sucking me in in all the right places!). 

Have you found your end-all-be-all pair of faux leather leggings?!  Below are a few of my picks, but I’d love to hear if you have a tried and true pair! Truly, MKR
