Travel Outfit Staples: Leather Leggings

Las Vegas, Arizona
Leather Leggings in Las Vegas, Arizona
Leather Leggings 2020 Round Up Pin

Ahhh leather leggings. And by leather – I mean faux leather with tons of stretchiness of course. I don’t think it would be humanly possible for me to squeeze my size 10 self into a pair of genuine leather pants?

Anyways, leather leggings are probably one of my favorite style staples for traveling. Regardless of what time of year – I think they instantly look more chic whether on a flight or on a road trip than just regular leggings. Ev and I are also on the ‘no checked bags’ train, preferring to pack light whenever possible. Not only does this save you money, but it also saves you time and stress when trying to get dressed while traveling. The fewer options you have, the less time it’ll take to chose. The less time it takes you to chose your outfit – the faster you’re out exploring for the day!!

Pairing them under tunics, with combat boots or doc martins you can instantly go from the car to lunch with a few quick wardrobe changes ( shoes, shirt, etc).

Warm Weather Dressed Up or Down

Casually with a white tunic length tee, denim jacket around your waist, hat, and comfortable tennis shoes is a cute look and provides multiple looks. If you get chilly – put on the denim jacket.. hair is dirty while traveling put on the hat. Tennis shoes: just wear them. Life is too short for your feet to hurt while you’re traveling!!! I can’t stand that feeling that my feet are going to swell and be in pain the next morning- especially in a new city!

Cool Weather Dressed Up or Down

Giant sweaters and lace-up booties are my favorite go-to for traveling. This look has taken me from day to night {+ lipstick} – eliminating the need for outfit changes.

How to Care for Leather Leggings

You’ll need to consult the instructions for each brand on how to wash them. I will, however, tell you that I always turn mine inside out and wash them in cold water. This keeps the faux leather coating from flaking off in the wash. (I’ve had the same 2 pairs of leather leggings for years now and they haven’t let me down yet!) The best thing about leather leggings though is that they roll up and never look wrinkled with any outfit! I think I wore them like 10 different times on our trip out to Vegas and I always felt put together.
