SPANX Faux Leather Leggings FAQ’s

 

What Type of SPANX leggings should I buy?

I purchased a best seller, the classic faux leather leggings in black.  Where better to start than a bestseller, right?!  And I figured the classic black faux leather legging would pair with so much and I’d really get my use out of them.  You can see all of their best selling leggings HERE.

 

What size faux leather leggings should I buy?

After reading the size guide and inseam length, I ordered them in small petite since I’m shorter and don’t like leggings bunching a lot at the bottom.

For reference, I’m 120 lbs, 5’3″ and usually wear a size 2/4 or size XS/Small depending on the brand. For me they fit true to size using their size guide and have been very comfortable.

**NOTE** Per the SPANX website, they state that some people have found the faux leather leggings to run on the small side.  Therefore, I would recommend that if you are between sizes, to go up one size.  I found this to be true since I can sometimes wear an XS or a S – and the small fit perfectly.

So make sure to check the size guide.  The leggings size guide on the SPANX website gives you sizing guideline and I’ve found them to be accurate.

 

How much do SPANX Faux Leather Leggings Cost?

SPANX faux leather leggings are definitely an investment.  I know they aren’t the cheapest leggings in the world, but I think they are worth it because they’re gonna last you a while.

They range from $98-$110, but they often go on sale during holidays and popular shopping events.

They’re usually majorly marked down during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and several other times throughout the year, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

They are made well, comfortable and you can wear them with so many outfits.  Whether you pay full price or snag them on sale, you’ll definitely get your money’s worth with these leggings!

 

How do I wash my Spanx Faux Leather Leggings?

The leggings come with care instructions for machine washing and how to dry them.  I make sure to follow these specifics to keep my leggings looking as good as when I first got them.  And years later, they honestly still look brand new.  The stitching and quality have held up great.

 

 

Why did I buy SPANX faux leather leggings and not a cheaper knock-off?

  • You had me at high-waisted.  After having 2 children, my post baby belly needs all the support it can get.  While I workout regularly too, my SPANX pieces (high waisted leggings in particular) are one of my post baby body wardrobe secrets.  High waisted leggings are a mom BFF!  

 

  • I’ve been a big fan of the SPANX brand even before I had kids.  I already owned several pieces of SPANX shapewear and swimwear.  Not to mention they have great customer service and the cutest packaging!

 

  • Seeing pics of SPANX faux leather leggings all over Instagram looking A-MAZE-ING, made me curious.  I needed to see if they were worth all the buzz.  Ladies, these leggings live up to all their hype! And after owning them for years now, I can honestly say they’re a favorite.

 

 

What I love about my SPANX faux leather leggings:

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings are a wardrobe staple.  And here’s why:

  • Perfect thickness: The leggings are thin but not flimsy. They feel like a second skin.
  • Comfortable:  It feels like the leggings give my legs a snug hug without being too tight.  They can be worn comfortably all day (and night!)
  • Versatile: Spanx faux leather leggings are the perfect mix of a leather-like look without being too shiny.  They come in a variety of colors too.  Therefore, they can be styled so many ways—from everyday casual to dressy.

 

What I’m not wild about:

  • Not all leggings have the petite sizing option, although many styles have become available in petite and tall sizes in recent years.  I like the shorter legging length that the petite size offers since I’m only 5’3″.   Petite sizes are available in all of these styles.
  • SPANX leggings in petite can’t be found everywhere.  Department stores often have limited inventory. This is why I purchased my leggings online.

 

 

Would I buy them again?

YES! Absolutely!

And you can’t say I didn’t warn you! Be prepared to buy more than one pair!  I intended to only buy these and also purchased these!

 I also love their faux leather moto leggings and they just added faux suede leggings this year!

Check out the Faux Leather and Velvet Leggings in girls sizing too,  if you’re looking to match your mini!

And don’t forget – you can try your leggings risk free since they offer free returns!  That makes it so convenient when ordering online.

 

I hope you found it helpful seeing what and how to wear your faux leather leggings!

Which look is your favorite?!

    I have the original and the moto, and put the croc on my Christmas
    Iist because I love them so much! However, I found them to run small per the sizing guide. I was solidly a small per the measurements, yet they were way too small and I had to send them back for a medium. I would caution your readers if they are in doubt at all, order up. I live in FL and don’t wear long pants that much, but these are always what I reach for on those cooler days!

My family loves when I create food content - it me My family loves when I create food content - it means they get to enjoy it when I’m done taking pics and videos;) 

They dug into these Easter treats I made this week: Easter Bark (posted a reel of this yesterday) and Rice Krispie nests with Easter egg candy. 

The nests are a no-bake dessert and both are easy and fun for the kids to join when making!

And for an Easter outfit idea that’s not a dress, this Spring outfit I’m wearing is head to toe from Target. 

I’m wearing XS in both the top and shorts - I cut the stings off the top, and the shorts have an elastic waistband and pockets. 

I sized up 1/2 size in the braided sandals - they’re  cushiony and very comfy. (Seen in the second pic)

What’s the toughest challenge you’ve ever face What’s the toughest challenge you’ve ever faced? The greatest lesson you ever learned? 

For me, I faced one of my toughest challenges at 6 years old, learning the meaning of “life is short.”

I’d spent many afternoons that summer splashing around our backyard pool with my Mom, Dad, sister and baby brother. 

It was our first - and only summer, as a family of 5 before life was forever changed.  Soon after, my Dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  He died a little over a year later at the age of 35.

His death not only impacted me as a child, but has continued to affect me in different ways throughout my adult life too. 

There’s a sadness with each milestone missed, birthday not celebrated and the wondering of what life ‘would’ve been like.’ 

There’s the worry in hoping my kids never have to experience losing a parent like I did. 

But through this struggle and others, I’ve learned from each of them.

I’ve found strength and resiliency. 

Having a positive attitude and focusing on what I do have has helped so much. I can handle hard times and still find joy. 

I am grateful for having a supportive family and friends whose love allowed me to have a happy childhood despite my loss. 

I gained compassion for others’ suffering through my own. 

I know that every day with the ones we love is precious and to be cherished. 

So if you’re struggling with something in your life, no matter how big or small, know that you are not alone. We all struggle - it’s not fun, but it’s part of life. 

This part of my life hasn’t always been easy to share. 

But speaking your truth is a brave and vulnerable act, and it’s how we build real connections. 

Plus, you never know when a page from your story will turn into a key chapter in someone else’s survival guide!

Thinking of you today and wishing you hope & strength in your journey. 💕

Who could use a little light today? “A smile i Who could use a little light today? 

“A smile is the light in your window that tells others there is a sharing, caring person inside.” —Denis Waitley

During my days working as a pharmacist, my former boss once referred to me and my partner as the “sweethearts of our district.”

I’m an empath to the bone.  It truly makes my heart hurt to see other people crying or suffering. 

I just want to run over and hug them!

And I used to do just that if a patient came to my pharmacy counter with bad news or a heavy heart. 

Sometimes the best medicine is one that heals the soul:)

Nowadays as a blogger/content creator I’m on the other side of your screen, not the pharmacy counter. 

But know that I’m here for you too! 

This is me, sending my virtual smile YOUR way! 😃

How do you get yourself motivated to exercise? Fo How do you get yourself motivated to exercise?

For me, my morning meditation and cup of coffee definitely starts my day off right. 

But not until I’ve selected a cute workout outfit! 

I absolutely LOVE how good and energized it feels on the inside after a workout. 

But ya know the saying ‘look good, feel good?’ 

The fashion lover in me gets a little extra motivation when the outfit I’m wearing has me feeling cute on the outside too.

It gives me a little extra boost and puts me in the right frame of mind before breaking a sweat. 

*Tip: Selecting and laying out my outfit the night before makes it even quicker & easier to get going the next day!

So how about you? 

Does a cute workout outfit motivate you too?

These 4 workout sets from Amazon have been getting me extra motivated lately! (Swipe to see them all) 

I’m wearing size small in all of them.

To shop these outfits, just click the link in my profile, head to stories or message me for a link!
