ButI find mine comfy and not sweaty at all, they're brushed and soft on the inside which helps a lot and there's no claminess, and I wear them a lot Oct- April. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1569773 Sat, 10 Oct 2015 05:27:22 +0000 Carole 1569773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like the Lysse are the ones for me to try...also the Aritzia's sound like winners, too! I'm a little worried about the hot and sweaty factor synthetic plastic creates anywhere near me.....at my age that is something to consider. Has anyone experienced this?</p> <p>Great recommendations everyone..YLF to the rescue once again...thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1569617 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 20:18:37 +0000 catgirl 1569617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Lysse leggings in the coated version, so they look like leather. They are substantial, fit well, and are practically windproof which makes them perfect for winter.&nbsp; The rise is really high but I'm good with that because they don't roll when I sit.&nbsp; </p> <p>Also have the Spanx, but those are more true leggings and I sized up for comfort - even then they are quite fitted.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1569615 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 20:12:25 +0000 K. Period. 1569615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay--update! </p> <p>Lysse leggings arrived from Amazon. &nbsp;I tried them on. &nbsp;Husband espied them. &nbsp;Stunned silence. &nbsp;Then, when he'd recovered himself, "You HAVE to keep those." &nbsp;So, they are a winner at my house! &nbsp;</p> <p>General assessment: &nbsp;Weight is nice heavy legging/light ponte weight. &nbsp;Very nice. &nbsp;Light enough to be flexible and form fitting, but heavy enough to provide some hold and to smooth over any bumps. &nbsp;Leatherette looks great and feels acceptable (it will never be lamb leather, but who cares when you need washable?). &nbsp;Mine were the ones with vegan leather side panels. &nbsp;The leggings are lined on the inside, so you don't have skin on vegan leather contact. &nbsp;(Yay!) &nbsp;Fitwise, I'm pretty straight in the hips and they are a little fitted in the waist to me, but not pinching. &nbsp;I wear a 4 in Banana Republic and J Crew and a small fit me very closely for a legging look, but I sized up to a medium for more of a pant fit. &nbsp;The high rise is very high on me, but they feel like they will stay in place. &nbsp;Plus no slip down and exposure if you bend over. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1569161 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 21:14:09 +0000 Suz 1569161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>True to size as per their size charts.&nbsp;</p> <p>And thank you!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1569157 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 21:09:07 +0000 krishnidoux 1569157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, what do you mean TTS?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1569137 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 20:27:41 +0000 Suz 1569137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Crackers!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>And <b>Elizabeth</b>, should I thank you or curse you???

For comparison I wear a 28 in Rag and Bone Dres, I think we both have those. My guess is you would be a small, the xs is teeny in the thighs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1569028 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 16:22:41 +0000 Carole 1569028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth-those look great...more like a slim pant or ponte!

But they are out of stock at Nordstrom right now.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Crackers,</b> what is the sizing like on the Aritzia?&nbsp;</p> <p>And <b>Krishnidoux</b>, same for the Marciano? Are they TTS? And did you get the grey ones?

Instead, I go for leggings partly made of genuine leather.&nbsp; Mine are from Marciano (I got the grey ones). I love them!

They're buttery soft, don't creep down, high waisted (higher than in the photo). I love mine, I'm on my second pair, I actually wore out my first pair after several years. </p> <p><a href="http://aritzia.com/en/product/daria-pant/31352001.html" rel="nofollow">http://aritzia.com/en/product/.....52001.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1568848 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 02:54:26 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1568848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha, forgot that you can see all the looks for these by clicking the 'i' circle below on the Find!</p> <p>Suz, I'm an IT, no hip, muscular thighs, long rise gal and these Spanx dont creep. They are super high waisted (follow the Find and look at the back view) the intent being smoothing and not causing muffin top. They're more supportive than most tights and leggings, more like a thick yoga pant or running tight that you want to be supportive and not flimsy. Una likes hers too, so I'd recommend you try them. I've tried pleather and they will NOT work if your thighs rub together...I just get stuck trying to walk in the dressing room! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1568832 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 02:15:38 +0000 Suz 1568832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, please all tell me what will work for my body type? Slim hourglass with longish rise, muscular thighs, relatively slim hips -- and a problem with leggings ALWAYS creeping down. &nbsp;I really want to try faux leather but the Lysee partial faux leather ones I had last year were a total bust -- always crawled down on me.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1568815 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 01:36:48 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1568815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spanx leAther look leggings!

However, as they sat in my closet during the warmer months, I discovered that the dye was bleeding onto my white jeans! It was tough to get out. So I would probably stick to higher-end leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1568717 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 22:01:51 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1568717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine are from Nygard. &nbsp;I really like the way they fit and they aren't tight but look fitted.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nygard.com/en-ca/products/Nygard_Slims_NYG%C3%85RD_SLIMS_2.5_Moto_Legging/4_2E1Y7168_039_XL_14"><a href="http://www.nygard.com/en-ca/products/Nygard_Slims_NYG%C3%85RD_SLIMS_2.5_Moto_Legging/4_2E1Y7168_039_" rel="nofollow">http://www.nygard.com/en-ca/pr.....Y7168_039_</a>...</a></p> <p>I also have this pair in black. &nbsp;I really like them a lot.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nygard.com/en-ca/products/Nygard_Slims_NYG%C3%85RD_SLIMS_3-5_Snake_Legging/4_3A42R166_001_3X_14#id0Fit'Regular'Col'001'Size'XS"><a href="http://www.nygard.com/en-ca/products/Nygard_Slims_NYG%C3%85RD_SLIMS_3-5_Snake_Legging/4_3A42R166_001" rel="nofollow">http://www.nygard.com/en-ca/pr.....42R166_001</a>...</a>'</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommendations-for-faux-leather-leggings#post-1568662 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 18:16:57 +0000 Susie 1568662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like my leggings to&nbsp;look and&nbsp;fit more like slim leg pants than tights.
