There are very few wardrobe pieces that I actually love more and more every year. When the weather cools down, I always get excited to wear my Spanx leather leggings. They are easily my most worn item during the Fall, Winter and early spring months! They are not actually real leather but have the look and they are very comfortable. The waistband is thick and because they are Spanx they are flattering and have compression.
I find that they go with so much of my closet and can be worn many different ways. What I think I love most is how I can wear them with both dressy and casual outfits. Whatever you are wearing, they add both polish and edge. I’m sharing a few ways I’ve worn them this year. But this is just the beginning, you can honestly wear them a hundred different ways. Before we were all stuck at home I would dress up the leather leggings with heels and my favorite nice tops and sweaters.
It is not surprising that this year I have been wearing them more casually than anything else. I’m extra appreciative to the items in my closet that can be dressed down. I have taken full advantage of my more relaxed work dress code and have been pairing all dressier items with more casual pieces.
Casual Leather Leggings Look
My casual looks with the Spanx leather leggings start with layers. A black tank creates a simple and flattering first layer. A monochromatic under layer while not only being is to coordinate with also is very flattering. It creates a clean line and elongates your body. This is the perfect foundation for a long cardigan, sweater or jacket. Even a longer button down would be cute with this.
These flat combatish boots work great with the leather leggings. They feel easy and put together at the same time. The Spanx leather leggings tuck into boots really easy too. Tall socks also layer over them well (which has been great this winter). As it warms up I start to wear them with my favorite slides and flats.
Another easy option I go to frequently is leather leggings, sweatshirt, jackets and boots. In this case I kept the look in dark neutrals but you could easily change up the colors to fit your style. You could mix and match this outfit a million ways. Trade out the leather for a denim jacket and the boots for tennis shoes and that is something I would wear to travel in.

Dressy Leather Leggings Look
When I initially bought leather leggings I mainly imagined wearing them dressy. The leather leggings pair well with heels and botties and elevate any look. I love the slight sheen and how it adds a big of edge to a sweater and heels. I love this work for date night, dinner with friends or out for a drink.
