3 Styles of SPANX Faux Leather Leggings

Basic leggings will always have a special place in our hearts (and on our booties). But sometimes you want a little more oomph. That’s where faux leather leggings come in. Crafted with a comfy combination of nylon, elastane, polyester, and elastane, faux leather leggings are sleek, versatile, and just the right amount of bold.


Not all faux leather leggings are created equal, though.


At SPANX, we’re obsessed with leggings that feel as incredible as they look–and our faux leather collection is no exception. With built-in shaping and a center-free seam, these leggings are in a league of their own.


In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at some key features and round up three standout styles to level up your everyday outfits.

What Special About SPANX Faux Leather Leggings?

Lots of leggings promise to look good, but do they actually deliver? SPANX Faux Leather Leggings aren’t just here to talk the talk—they’re bringing the tech, the comfort, and the style that make you look twice (once in the mirror, once at your reflection in a window). Let’s break down what makes these leggings stand out in a sea of shiny knockoffs.

Contoured Design for a Perky Rearview

These leggings are basically your personal sculptor—minus the chisel and dust. Thanks to their contoured design and smoothing faux leather fabric, they give your backside a little extra lift and shape. Whether you’re pairing them with a blazer for brunch or rocking them at happy hour, these leggings ensure your rearview is the main attraction (and yes, that’s totally worth the second glance).

Power Waistband for Core Compression

That “held-in but still comfy” feeling you’ve been chasing? It’s all in the waistband. The contoured Power Waistband smooths your midsection and gives you just the right amount of core support without feeling like you’re stuck in a squeeze machine. No rolling, no digging—just pure, stay-put magic. Because the only thing you should be adjusting is your playlist.

No Center Seams, No Camel Toe

We’ll say the quiet part out loud: camel toe ruins everything. That’s why we made SPANX Faux Leather Leggings center-seam-free, so you can strut, squat, or lounge without awkward interruptions. They’re sleek, flattering, and built for real life—because leggings that work with you are way more fun than ones that make you self-conscious.

3 Styles of SPANX Faux Leather Leggings

We know your vibe can change daily (or hourly), which is why we’ve got not one, but three iconic faux leather options to match your mood. From fleece-lined coziness to patent shine, these styles prove that leggings can do more than just sit on the couch with you (though they’re great for that, too).

SPANXshape Faux Leather Leggings

The ones that started it all. Our original faux leather leggings are smooth, sculpting, and versatile enough to take you from coffee runs to cocktails. With their signature contoured waistband and sleek faux leather finish, they’re the perfect mix of polished and comfy. Dress them up, dress them down—these are the leggings you’ll reach for again and again.


Bonus: They’re available in petite and tall.

SPANXshape Faux Leather Fleece Lined Leggings

When the temperature drops but your style standards don’t, these fleece-lined leggings have your back (and your legs). With all the sculpting, smoothing magic of SPANX Faux Leather Leggings, plus a cozy fleece lining, these are basically a warm hug you can wear. Available in petite and tall, they’re perfect for chilly mornings, winter outings, or any time you want to look sleek without freezing your butt off.

SPANXshape Faux Leather Patent Leggings

These high-shine beauties bring serious main-character energy. With a glossy patent finish and all the sculpting, shaping power you love, these patent faux leather leggings are made for standing out. Whether you’re heading to date night, girls' night, or a night of just looking fabulous in your kitchen, they’re guaranteed to steal the spotlight (and probably a few compliments).

How to Care for Faux Leather Leggings

You finally found the best faux leather leggings—now let’s make sure they stay that way. Here’s how to care for your SPANX faux leather leggings:


  1. Machine Wash Cold: No need to overthink it—just toss them in the washing machine on a cold, gentle cycle. 
  2. Turn Them Inside Out: Before washing, flip those leggings inside out. This helps protect the faux leather finish so it stays shiny and smooth, not scuffed.
  3. Skip the Fabric Softener: Fabric softener can mess with the finish and make your leggings lose their shape. Trust us, they’re soft enough already.
  4. Wash with Like Colors: Pair your leggings with similar shades in the wash to avoid any accidental dye drama.
  5. Lay Flat to Dry: Dryers are no friend to faux leather. Lay your leggings flat to dry, and they’ll stay in perfect shape for longer.
  6. Do Not Iron: Faux leather fabric doesn’t play nice with heat, and there’s no need to iron something that already looks this good.

Faux Leather Never Felt (or Looked) This Good

From cozy fleece-lined warmth to head-turning patent shine, SPANX Faux Leather Leggings prove that style and comfort aren’t mutually exclusive. They smooth, sculpt, and stay put—while making you feel like a total boss, whether you’re out on the town or lounging at home. 


So go ahead, slip into a pair (or three) and discover what the hype is about. Spoiler: your closet will thank you.
