I don't mean to brag, but I've become something of a legging expert over the last few months. They've become an ever-present staple in my wardrobe, and I'm constantly on the lookout for new styles to add to my collection. This fall, I'm swapping my regular pair for a version that feels a little more luxe. And yes, I'm talking about leather leggings. Luckily, my Instagram Explore page has me covered when it comes to styling them into some actually cute outfits.
Just like your usual pair of black leggings, leather alternatives are incredibly easy to style and are available in both real-leather and faux-leather iterations. They work just as well underneath a classic white button-down as they do under a baggy hooded sweatshirt, and you can accessorize them with either a pair of chunky sneakers or some very sleek stiletto boots.
Keep scrolling to check out—and shop—six of the coolest leather-legging outfits for fall 2022, as modeled by some of Instagram's most in-demand influencers and trendsetters.
