But my winter wardrobe secret weapon is a bit sleeker than that: I've found the best faux leather leggings on Amazon that maintain sweatpants levels of comfort without compromising style, and I'm sharing them with you. The Retro Gong faux leather leggings have become a go-to in my closet. Made of a blend of nylon and elastic, they're super comfortable and keep my legs warm — even if it's snowing outside. I've worn them hiking and skiing; pre-COVID, they were my go-to work pants, where I'd pair them with an oversized sweater, a silky blouse, or a teddy coat. Their snakeskin feel is soft and smooth to touch, and putting them on really feels like slipping into a pair of stretchy yoga pants. And just like my athletic leggings, they have four-way stretch, so they provide the same level of flexibility. They're also opaque, which attests to their winter readiness.

Whether you're going for a casual look or something a little more polished, these versatile leggings will not disappoint. Amazon shoppers love the leggings by Retro Gong too, so much so that they've received 5,000 five-star ratings. In their reviews, shoppers call out the high quality and soft feel of these comfortable leggings (and I agree with them!), with at least one saying the flattering leggings fit like a glove. Many people even said they would choose these leggings over some more expensive name-brand faux leather leggings out there. "I was blown away within seconds of trying these leggings on," one person wrote. "They are even more comfortable than some of my other high-end leggings." For a quality pair of faux leather leggings to live in this winter, I (and thousands of Amazon shoppers) couldn't recommend this $57 pair from Amazon enough.
