Lyssé High Waist Faux Leather Leggings

I've been on the hunt for a good pair of faux leather leggings - you know, a pair that looks like the real thing, only won't rob me blind. I'm all about having nice things, and do spend good money one those worth it. While I'd love to own a pair of real leather pants, as nothing compares to real leather (I could live in my leather jackets), they're just WAY too expensive. These though.... They're as close as I've come to finding this unicorn pant! I had zero expectations for these since the search has proved unsuccessful, but I'm happy at how wrong I was! The finish is so nice - shiny enough to look like leather, but not so shiny it looks like plastic. The seaming is a nice touch since real leather pants would have seaming. Some reviews are saying the material is stiff or smells... I haven't experienced either of those things. In fact, I think they're VERY soft for a faux material. And they smell like nothing to me. The length is good (I'm 5'4"), and sizing is true, in my opinion. I weigh 141lbs and ordered both the medium and large, as reviews are saying you need to be Houdini to get in these things, and I wasn't sure what to expect. While the large are easier to get on, the medium look more flattering. Leggings shouldn't be loose, so the large are going back. If you're unsure, order a few sizes. But at the Anniversary sale price, these are a steal! So glad I didn't call the search off!
