There are certain cold-weather staples that every wardrobe needs: chunky knit sweaters, boots, and ultra-cozy coats, to name a few. But one underrated essential you should add into the mix? A pair of faux leather leggings. Trust me: the key piece that once transformed Olivia Newton-John’s Sandy into a total baddie in Grease can work just as much magic in your own closet. Leather leggings can be dressed up or down, and if you’re looking for an easy way to add some edge to your cutest winter outfits, they'll absolutely do the trick—whether for a night out or a casual weekend lewk.
“It is my firm belief that leather leggings can be worn with literally anything, but I personally like it to keep it effortless and simple so the look doesn’t venture into Sons of Anarchy territory,” explains celebrity fashion stylist Madison Guest. “I love them with a simple T-shirt, layered necklaces, and high heels; or, for a more casual vibe, pair them with an oversized sweater, denim jacket, and comfy flats.”
