Those who know me well. Know that I hate shopping. Ugh, it's the worst thing invented for anyone over the height 5 foot 7. However, despite the fact that I hate shopping and you can find me around town wearing something as simple as GAP jeans and a GAP Favorite Tshirt (RELAXATION) I do know a "lil sumtin sumtin" about style. I have an eye for clothing that are Chic and Oh so Fabolous. This Fall/Winter nothing is more chic than the return of LEATHER/FAUX LEATHER. However leather worn wrong can be deadly to the person wearing it, and may also lead to blinding of the eyes for the people who have to watch your ass wear it.
Secondly, Faux leather is always a good choice, for us poverty stricken 20 year olds. However, to FAUXY is also TOO TACKY (stay away from rainbow/pretty girl). H and M have some Faux Leather leggings/pants that are of quality fake material (if that even exist). In all Honesty I prefer Leather pants/leggings with spandex material. Not too leathery, a bit breathable, and ultra stylish. One of my Fav. Stores Zara has a great Faux pair:
Soooo Here Are Two Main Pointers When Deciding To Rock Leather:
1st too much leather is always a terrible thing! A Leather overload is always cheesy and tacky. The biggest issue is that the different pieces of clothing may not even be cut from the same cloth of Leather. resulting in LEATHER CLASHES (UGHHH! currently puking).

The idea for the fall/winter weather is to mix the leather leggings with a Knitted Chunky wool sweater. The layer look and contrast of two different materials form an ultra Chic look, while keeping you warm. The good thing about this look is that this style can go from day to night with just the changing of footwear and accessories.
Both pieces of clothing are so versatile. During the spring when the weather becomes a little warmer you can def pair the wool sweater with cotton/spandex leggings and some riding boots (I prefer brown colored). Or pair the leather leggings with a vintage acid wash jean jacket (GAP.com) and striped t-shirt/or tunic. (stripes are def in for this season). You basically have 3 outfits in one. Hey! it's all about looking good, and spending less. Trust me, I KNOW!
