High waisted faux leather leggings in 4 colors
These high waisted faux leather leggings have a glossy, wet-look finish and a wide, high waistband. Choose black, burgundy, camel or forest green. They pull on with no zipper and end at the ankle.
They are made from PU faux leather with spandex, so they look sharp but move like leggings. Wear them with a loose sweater by day or a fitted top and heels at night.
Many customers say they come up a little small, so order one size up. They sit in our women’s leggings collection, in sizes XS to 2XL.

Choose your color
All 4 colors have the same glossy finish, cut and sizing. Screens and lighting vary, so your pair may look slightly different from the photos.
| Color | What it looks like | Pairs well with |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Deep, even black with a glossy, wet-look shine. | White, gray, cream, camel or a bold color |
| Burgundy | Rich wine-red burgundy with a glossy shine. Deep rather than bright. | Black, cream, gray or camel |
| Camel | Warm golden tan with a brown depth, close to soft camel leather. | White, cream, black or olive |
| Forest Green | Dark green with a hint of teal that looks rich against the shine. | Black, white, cream or tan |
Black is the easiest to style and suits almost every outfit. Burgundy and forest green add depth to fall and winter looks, and camel gives a softer, warmer take on the leather look.
Order one size up
Faux leather has less give than a regular knit, and customers often tell us these fit a little snug. For the best fit, order one size larger than you usually wear.
Go up one size if
You are between two sizes, you want an easier fit through the hips and thighs, or you plan to sit for long stretches in them.
Stay with your usual size if
You want a very close, firm fit and your measurements sit at the small end of your size in the chart below.
A glossy, wet-look finish
The shine is the main feature. Light catches on the thighs and hips, and the color stays deep and even from waist to ankle.
The finish reads as dressed up, so a plain tee or sweatshirt is enough. If you prefer a quieter look, wear a matte knit on top to balance the shine.
Where to wear them
Everyday outfits
Pair them with an oversized sweater and white sneakers for errands, coffee or school pickups. The leather look makes a simple outfit feel put together.
Dinner and nights out
Add a satin blouse or fitted bodysuit, heels and a small clutch. Black faux leather leggings are an easy swap for a dress, and burgundy suits a dinner date.
Travel and weekends
The elasticated waistband and soft stretch are comfortable for a long day out. Darker colors like black and forest green hide small marks well.
Concerts and parties
The shine looks good under evening light. Keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the leggings stand out.
How to style faux leather leggings
The main decision is how dressed up you want to be. These pairings work well in any of the 4 colors.
Casual and cozy
An oversized sweater, white sneakers and a crossbody bag. Browse our women’s tops and t-shirts for easy pairings, or read our guide to wearing leggings casually.
With boots
A long knit and ankle boots. Add a long coat in camel, gray or black for cooler days.
Dressed up
A fitted bodysuit or blouse, a blazer and heels. Keep jewelry simple.
Layered
A cropped puffer, a leather jacket or a long cardigan over a plain tee.

Wear them through the seasons
Faux leather works best in cool and mild weather. It is lighter than real leather, but it does not breathe like cotton.
| Season | What to wear with them |
|---|---|
| Fall | A knit sweater and ankle boots |
| Winter | A long coat over a thick sweater, with warm socks and boots |
| Spring | A light jacket or denim shirt with sneakers |
| Summer | A tank top for an air-conditioned evening out |
Fabric, fit and details
The fabric is PU faux leather with spandex. It is soft and lightweight for a leather-look pair, and it stretches enough to move with you.
The waistband is wide, high and elasticated. It sits above the navel and holds the leggings in place without a zipper or button.
The cut is slim and close to the body from hip to ankle. A center seam runs down the front and back, and the leg ends at the ankle.
Each color is deep and even with a glossy shine. Screens and lighting vary, so the shade may look slightly different from the photos.
Size guide
Compare your measurements with the chart, then order one size up. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see our guide to taking measurements for clothes.
- Waist: wrap a tape measure around your natural waist, the narrowest part of your torso.
- Hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips.
- Length: measure from your waist down to your ankle.
Measurements are in inches, with centimeters in parentheses. Allow about 3 cm (1.2 in) either way, because the pieces are measured by hand.
| Size | Length | Waist | Hip |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 35.0 in (89 cm) | 23.6 in (60 cm) | 29.1 in (74 cm) |
| S | 35.8 in (91 cm) | 25.2 in (64 cm) | 30.7 in (78 cm) |
| M | 36.6 in (93 cm) | 26.8 in (68 cm) | 32.3 in (82 cm) |
| L | 37.4 in (95 cm) | 28.3 in (72 cm) | 33.9 in (86 cm) |
| XL | 38.2 in (97 cm) | 29.9 in (76 cm) | 35.4 in (90 cm) |
| 2XL | 39.0 in (99 cm) | 31.5 in (80 cm) | 37.0 in (94 cm) |
Always compare your own measurements with the chart, not with another piece of clothing. To compare with UK, EU and AU sizing, use our leggings size chart.
How to wash and care for them
Hand washing is recommended, and the leggings are machine washable. Do not use bleach. To protect the glossy finish:
- Turn them inside out before washing
- Use cool water and a mild detergent
- Skip fabric softener and harsh cleaners
- Wash dark and light colors separately
- Air dry away from direct heat and sunlight
- Wipe light marks with a soft damp cloth

A gift for someone who loves a leather look
Black is the safest pick, and these leggings suit most wardrobes. Burgundy and forest green work for someone who likes richer shades, and camel suits a softer palette.
If you are not sure of her size, choose one size up from her usual leggings size, since these come up a little small.
