Faux Leather & Leather Fall Outfit Pieces: Best Leggings, Jackets, Skirts & Pants for Winter
19
items Skip the fast-fashion pleather that peels by January: the pieces here are the ones worth buying, from a buttery moto jacket to faux leather leggings that actually hold their shape. Rank the leggings first, the jacket second, and everything else is a ...
For a real-leather splurge, this goes at the top of my fall list. The washed leather already looks broken in, so it skips the stiff-jacket phase and goes over a tee, a sweater or a dress with equal ease. Size down if you want it less slouchy.
Madewell Washed Leather Oversized Motorcycle Jacket
A midi in vegan leather is the easiest way to wear the trend without it looking like a costume. Belt loops and a side zip make it simple to dress up with a fitted sweater and ankle boots, or down with a chunky cardigan and sneakers on a cold Saturday...
Abercrombie High Rise Vegan Leather Midi Skirt
If I could keep only one piece from this list, these are it. The contoured waistband smooths without digging in, there is no center seam, and the coating keeps its sheen through washing if you flip them inside out and air dry. Great with an oversized...
SPANXshape Faux Leather Leggings
A long faux leather vest changes a plain outfit of jeans and a tee without adding bulk or warmth you do not need on a mild fall day. I like it layered over a turtleneck, and the length makes it flattering with leggings or straight pants.
By Anthropologie Faux Leather Long Vest
Real zip and real pockets make these feel like trousers instead of leggings, which is exactly why they work for dinners out. The straight leg skims your shape without clinging, and they wear well with a fitted bodysuit or a loose chunky knit.
Abercrombie Vegan Leather 90s Straight Pants
A cropped bomber is a good pick if you want a faux leather jacket that works with high-waist jeans and does not swallow your frame. It is light enough for early fall and roomy enough to layer a thin sweater under. Great price compared with the real l...
AE Cropped Faux Leather Bomber Jacket
Free People gets the slouchy-cool balance right with this skirt, so it feels more relaxed than a stiff office pencil style. I would wear it with opaque tights and boots through winter and swap in bare legs and a tee in the spring.
Free People Modern Femme Vegan Leather Skirt
A vegan leather blazer is my shortcut for looking pulled together with jeans and sneakers. The single-breasted cut is classic enough for a work lunch, and the pockets are real, so it is not just for show. I would pick black for the most outfits.
Abercrombie Vegan Leather Blazer
The elastic pull-on waist makes these far more comfortable than most faux leather trousers, and the wide leg gives you room to move. They work with a fitted top and heels for a night out, or a sweatshirt and sneakers when you want something less form...
Free People Going Out Wide-Leg Vegan Pants
The pleats add movement that flat faux leather skirts lack, so it looks softer and more feminine with a cozy sweater. It is lined and washes better than I expected, which matters when a skirt is going to be on repeat from October through February.
Madewell Pleated Midi Skirt in Faux Leather
A faux leather bodysuit is the cleanest way to wear a high-waist skirt or trouser without a bulky waistband showing. The seaming is flattering and the mesh back keeps it from feeling too warm. Dress it up with a blazer, or wear it plain with jeans.
Free People Shes A Vegan Bodysuit
The mock neck sets this bomber apart from the standard collar version, and it feels more modern with a simple knit underneath. The relaxed fit leaves room for a sweater, and it is one of the best-priced jackets I found from a brand with solid quality...
Abercrombie Relaxed Mockneck Vegan Leather Bomber Jacket
Dressed-up pick of the group: a faux leather trouser with laser-cut detail that makes a plain black top look special for a holiday party. It is a statement piece, so keep the rest of the outfit simple with a fitted top and a pointed flat.
By Anthropologie Laser-Cut Faux Leather Trousers
A shirt-jacket is the right weight for the days when it is too cold for a tee but too warm for a coat. The faux leather is soft, the drop shoulders feel relaxed, and the patch pockets are big enough for a phone. It layers well over a hoodie.
Madewell Faux Leather Oversized Shirt-Jacket
The patent finish is louder than the matte options, so this is the pair for a concert, a holiday party or any night when you want people to notice. Keep the top simple and the shoes sharp, and let the shine do the work.
Free People Patent Vegan Leather Leggings
Yes, a true leather splurge, but a blazer in lambskin is one of those pieces that wears well for years and works with everything from jeans to dress pants. The horn buttons and a slightly oversized fit make it feel expensive without screaming about i...
Madewell The Larsen Blazer in Leather
The Vinny has the slightly oversized, lived-in feel that Free People does best, and the vegan leather is soft enough that it does not crackle when you move. It looks great with high-waist jeans and a vintage-style tee, and it holds up in light rain.
We The Free Vinny Vegan Leather Bomber Jacket
Padded shoulders and a slightly nipped waist give this blazer structure, so it is a good choice if you want a leather jacket that reads dressy. I would wear it with wide-leg trousers for work or with a slip dress for dinner.
Madewell The Bedford Oversized Blazer in Leather
A real leather vest is the sleeper hit of the season, and this one adds structure over a thermal or a button-down without making you hot. Because it is real leather, it should only get better with wear, and it looks great with straight jeans and boot...
