I know that I have been writing about how popular Canadian tuxedos and denim sneakers are these days, but this weekend, things changed. On Sunday morning, I was getting ready for New York Fashion Week, about to throw on my laid-out denim ensemble. And then, I looked out my window, saw it was snowing, and remembered that the fashion show was outside. I most definitely could not wear jeans. If you have ever worn wet denim, you know that it truly is the epitome of discomfort. Thus, it became a day to don my trusty faux-leather pants.
As everyone shivered in their seats, I was quite content in my selection of pants, as I was comfortable and appeared put-together (despite my 12-second outfit change). Faux leather is one of the easiest ways to look and feel amazing, whether that be on the bottom or on top. And since it’s not real leather, there isn't the same terror of slightly unideal weather conditions destroying your favorite pants or jacket. I'm not claiming this is the newest trend to hit the market, but it is one of the easiest to partake in, especially given the sheer abundance of faux leather hanging around these days. So for the time being, start gravitating toward pants that won't cause inevitable chafing at the drop of rain and try some of these faux-leather pieces.
Perfectly tailored (without actually needing to be tailored).
Yeah, I'm going to need these pants ASAP.
The oversize look absolutely kills.
When it comes to anything from the '70s, I'm in.
If you are into the slouchy-denim trend, try these instead.
Because faux leather knows no constraints.
For those in a warmer climate.
The epitome of comfort and class.
This looks five times more expensive than it is.
This is just a little bit out of budget, but I had to throw it in.
You can never have too many pairs of faux-leather leggings.
Bringing skorts back—faux-leather style.
Won't break the budget or your style.
Elevate any outfit with this shirt immediately.
Green faux leather hits different.
Wear this shirt as a jacket for bonus points.
I need this dress right now, thank you.
If I could pull this outfit off, I would wear it in a heartbeat.
Channeling my inner rock star through these.
Immediately elevate your outfit with this jacket.
Goodbye, denim corset; hello, faux-leather bustier.
The new miniskirt you didn't know you needed.
You can never go wrong with faux-leather leggings.
In love with the tuxedo waist.
