This season alone, everyone from Anne Hathaway to Megan Fox has sported a pair for both daytime and evening events, and it doesn't look like the sleek trend is going anywhere soon. The only downside? Leather (even faux leather) pants are stiff, unforgiving, and downright uncomfortable compared to the roomy, stretchy bottoms that became uniform during lockdown. Luckily, celebs in the know have found the perfect solution. Back in 2021, Jennifer Lopez strolled through New York wearing the same faux leather pants previously worn by Lizzo, Kelly Clarkson, and Shay Mitchell. But what most couldn't detect just from looking at J.Lo's edgy bottoms is that, according to a representative from Spanx, she's actually wearing the brand's super comfy Faux Leather Leggings (Buy It, $98, spanx.com). Spanx Buy It: Spanx Faux Leather Leggings, $98, spanx.com Famous for its A-lister loved styles, Spanx designs its leggings to be ultra-soft, lightweight, and sculpting, and these tights are no exception. Made from a surprisingly stretchy blend of nylon and elastane, Spanx's take on the leather legging features the brand's signature booty lift: a compressive waistband that contours and lifts your bum to asspirational heights. What's more, the high-waisted design thoughtfully excludes a center seam to avoid the dreaded camel toe. (BTW: You can also check out these Jennifer Garner-approved Spanx leggings, here.) But the best part is: While these bottoms may look like perfectly tailored leather pants, they have the same comfy legging fit we all know and love. Paired with a cute jean jacket and sneakers, these tights instantly elevate a look from casual to on-trend with literally no effort. Plus, even after a day on-the-go or a fun night out, this is one pair of pants you won't want to rip off the moment you get home. For a J.Lo-inspired look that can take you from the office to the party and straight to your couch, shop her exact same leggings on spanx.com. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!
