If you’re looking for faux or vegan leather leggings and joggers, you’ve come to the right place. But let’s rewind and start from the beginning. For the last few years, leggings and joggers have become the linchpins of the fashion world. The battle against “hard pants” is won, comfort reigns supreme, and we have collectively mastered the art of making Casual Fridays look cool enough to extend to the other six days of the week. But what about those days when you want to spiff up your daily sweatsuit or black leggings and oversized tee uniform? We’re talking the days when you want to feel a little ~fancier~ than usual, and strut your stuff on your way to the bar (or the grocery store) but still feel cozy. Enter: faux or vegan leather leggings and joggers.
Faux leather pants in any form look stylish. They add the perfect amount of edge to any wardrobe and are supremely versatile. Pair them with a T-shirt and sneakers during the day, or swap for a boot and corset combo for a night out—they’ve got you covered. The benefit of opting for vegan leather leggings or joggers is that on top of channeling mega Bella Hadid vibes, they are also usually more comfortable than the real thing, so you can reap the cozy benefits of wearing loungewear while still elevating your look.

According to Melissa Chataigne, TV host and stylist, the best way to find a pair that is vegan and eco-conscious but doesn’t look overly faux and cheap is “to look for texture. Anything too smooth looks fake. It must have a bit of thickness and grain. Imperfections make the leather look real.” Sold yet?
