What to Wear With Leather Leggings: 11 Stylish Outfits

Real leather leggings are pants comprised of animal skin and elastic material. Faux leather leggings consist of polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fabrics. Leather leggings are close-fitting and a more modern, street-style type of leather fashion (as opposed to leather western wear or leather workwear).

Common colors for leather leggings include black, brown, burgundy, camel or tan, and white; however, retailers sell leather leggings of all varieties, both in stores and online.

Leather leggings are versatile pieces of clothing appropriate for a multitude of occasions. Here are eleven leather legging outfit ideas to help you style your own pair:

1. 1. A blazer and combat boots: If you’re heading into the office and want to keep your look business-casual, pair the leggings with an oversized blazer and a button-down shirt (or even a turtleneck) and loafers or black combat boots.
2. 2. A blouse and heels: A chic outfit for going out with friends or enjoying a date night is a nice blouse with leather leggings and heels.
3. 3. A denim jacket and sneakers: For a more casual look, wear a graphic tee or a regular white T-shirt under a blue denim jacket with a pair of white sneakers.
4. 4. A faux fur coat and stilettos: If you want to make a statement with your outfit, try pairing a faux fur coat and stilettos with your high-waisted leggings or faux leather leggings.
5. 5. A leather jacket: If you want to look edgier, wear a black leather jacket with leather leggings and a pair of black combat boots for a biker-style ensemble.
6. 6. A long sweatshirt and sneakers: Try pairing a long sweatshirt with sneakers and a pair of black leather leggings instead of skinny jeans. You can always substitute a colorful long cardigan in place of the sweatshirt.
7. 7. An oversized sweater and an overcoat: For a cozy outfit, try an oversized sweater and long overcoat combo during the colder seasons.
8. 8. A plaid shirt and booties: Wear a plaid shirt under a hoodie and accessorize the outfit with a beanie and a pair of cute booties.

10. 10. A sleeveless shirt: Tucking a white sleeveless shirt into your leather leggings can make for a cute outfit. Try a French tuck if you want your look to fall somewhere between casual and totally pulled together.
