What I'm Wearing: Leather Leggings


If you follow me on Instagram, you know I scored a bargain-of-the-century-type deal last week on a pair of leather-front leggings from J.Crew. I'd been wanting them for a while, especially after seeing so much leather on the runways for fall. But leather can present its challenges. Anyone remember this episode of Friends?


Yes. Well. Let's all just take a moment to thank the good Lord and various and sundry fashion gods and icons for the advancements that have been made since 1998. Simply put, the J.Crew leggings are amazing. The leather is buttery soft, and the fabric on the back has the perfect amount of spandex to keep everything sucked in the way you want. But lest we forget, they are LEGGINGS. And--say it with me--LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS. The key to styling leggings is finding something for the top that also sufficiently covers the bottom, front and back. Nobody wants to see what's going on in your lower 48, ladies.

I've put together two looks to share with you here, but there are so many ways to wear them. I would love, love, love to hear your suggestions!
