Hello Ladies! Today I am piggy-backing on Beth’s Fall Faux Leather post with how to Create an Instantly Chic Fall Outfit with Faux Leather Pants. The faux leather trend has really come into its own this year. It’s been heading in this direction for the last few years, but this year we are seeing faux leather pieces in a variety of styles and colors from all of our favorite brands and retailers. I have really embraced faux leather in all kinds of ways, from faux leather jeans to skirts. With faux leather, you can achieve a sophisticated look without sacrificing comfort or breaking the bank.

Faux Leather bottoms, be it a skirt or pants, are the perfect blank canvas for creating a sophisticated outfit. Because of their sleek texture, no matter what kind of top you pair with them, you can create a chic outfit instantly.
These belted faux leather pants are from last year, but Ann Taylor does a great job with faux leather and this season they have so many styles to choose from. And some interesting color options as well.
After Beth introduced me to Quince, I went over and picked a couple of tops to try. I came away loving this champagne-color halter top in washable silk fabric. This is a perfect, neutral top that immediately elevates any look because of its silky sheen and flowy bodice.
This Wool Blend Tweed Cropped Jacket from Brooks Brothers is definitely a splurge item. But the quality in craftsmanship, material, and the timelessness of the style make it an investment piece. This jacket is not sold in petite, so the crop hits me a little lower than intended, but the sleeve length and shoulders fit perfectly, I am wearing size 0.
Then, of course, I went with metallic ballet flats because they’re an easy go-to and their shine emphasizes the sheen of my top.

Kelly,
You look beautiful! I love, love the Tweed BB jacket. That is an outstanding piece. Very tempting to me. I have really mixed feelings about faux leather. I’ve purchased Michael Kors faux leather. It looked and felt beautiful and nearly authentic but its sustainability, in my experience, was limited. Hopefully others have better outcomes!
Hi Carolina Girl, That is true about faux leather; you have to be careful with its care. I hardly ever wash the pieces I have. Whenever I do, it’s a hand-wash, lay flat-to-dry situation. Mostly, I wipe the exterior clean with a wet towel between washings. And as much as possible, I avoid ironing (on low with a towel between the iron and the fabric). So far, I have had good luck with faux leather – my oldest pieces have so far lasted years. Thanks for stopping by today! xo Kelly
Love your outfit Kelly. You look so chic and amazing!
