Spanx faux leather leggings- worth it?

[Bernadine]

I want a pair, but man, that’s a lot of money for leggings, where I usually go cheaper.

[rachers]

I loooove mine. So easy to dress up or down and very flattering.

[arielroux]

I love mine! I have the regular ones and the moto leggings. I'd say they're 100% worth it.

[NewGirlNic]

I love mine. I got them during the Nordstrom sale a few years ago. Spanx website was also matching the sale price, if I remember correctly.

They have new faux suede leggings that I want now.

[shopgirl07]

I’ve had mine for 5 years and they’re still in style so I’d say it’s been a good investment. I really like the leather leggings from Commando too.

[devonpow]

Yes! I love mine - I have a few pairs (I get them during the Nordstrom sales)

[Pilsy]

Does anyone who loves these happen to have heavier legs?

I have cankles and large calves, and I'm always dreaming of leggings that will somehow be flattering.

[sometimesrunner]

I just bought mine so I can't commend on the "worth it?" question, but Nordstrom recommended I size up and I'm so glad I did.

I bought Hue brand leather leggings in 2015 and wore them constantly. LOVE them. They got a hole after 5 years of constant wear, I bought a dupe on Amazon, $30 and love them.

For sizing reference, I wear a 12/14 ish and bought the XL and they’re perfect and very comfy.

I bought a pair of faux leather leggings pre-covid from Kohls at some point when I had Kohls cash and nothing I particularly wanted to spend it on. They fit well and are comfortable, but I've never worn them outside of trying them on and considering them as part of a potential outfit. I'm guessing part of it is not going as many places due to Covid, but I would have been annoyed at this point if I had spent a lot on them. Another part of the problem is that I struggle to find appropriate shoes to go with them that I actually want to wear.

I have the same problem and I wear leggings anyways

I have a pair by Hue from Nordstrom. They were a lot cheaper and fit better than the Spanx version.

[nextbigthing]

They're worth every penny. Got mine on black Friday last year and love them

Yes, definitely size up. I did not and I ended up selling mine. They are really good quality though.

Agreed, definitely size up 1 size.

Also, I didn't find much of a difference at all between the regular and short lengths, so if you need a short length don't stress if the color you want only comes in regular...There's barely any difference. I'm 5'4" and both regular and short hit my ankle.

I ordered these just now.  They get here this weekend. I can't wait.

[icedcoffee]

Add this to the list of shit I didn't know I needed. Someone ping me if you see a black friday deal on the Spanx version.

These are so not me. I want to do it!

[sju1982]

They are so comfortable, despite really sucking you in. I have them in black and olive green. I also have their faux leather dress pants, and they are my favorite for going out. They run true to size, unlike the leggings, and don't have compression.

Let me know if your thighs touch and if so, do these squeak when you walk? lol For some reason the regular leather ones don't make me think they would, but the patent leather? Feels like bad news.

I said the same- so not me.  But I was amazed at the number of opportunities that I could wear them and felt dressier than regular black pants!   I'm actually noodling about what I'm wearing them to next and what top to pair!

My thighs definitely touch and don’t squeak.

My favorite way to wear these pants is with a long tunic and sneakers. Either black Nikes or white Cole Haan sneakers. I also wear black leather flats or heels to dress them up, but much prefer sneakers. It’s a fun casual outfit.

[starburst604]

Check Poshmark! I wanted a pair of their velvet leggings and found a pair there for half the price.

[runblondie26]

Yes! I love mine! I’ve tried a couple of the knockoffs as well, and they didn’t compare in fit or feel.

Follow up, they came on Saturday and are really comfy and definitely suck you in but I can still breathe. I am a size 12 and ordered a XL. They could be a bit longer but I deal with that with most pants. They are soft and no squeaking at all.

[icedcoffee]

I ended up ordering the Spanx faux leather leggings on Mercari for $63. They're cute! And comfy. Spam me with your fave tops to wear with them though. I need some new ones.
