Leggings with faux leather – things to avoid!

February 7, 2015 by Jean-Marc Chateigner Leave a Comment

In this post, we are going to talk about leggings with faux leather, more precisely, things you need to avoid at all cost when you are looking for the right leggings with faux leather.

To be honest, I never liked the idea of women buying all faux leather leggings!

To best clean faux leahter upholstery, only use DC22 Upholstery Cleaner. Click here to try it!

It’s not because they look terrible, absolutely not, they look amazing and are very sexy, but because they do not withstand the test of time and wear and tear positively, they start getting damaged and the fabric weakens almost after just months of use!

Another terrible thing is the size!

A lot of women have complained to me and told me that they have returned their 100% faux leather leggings to the store because they didn’t match!

When you are dealing with faux leather, you must understand that it’s not always a perfect match, in other words, faux leather doesn’t stretch as easily as cloth, and it’s somehow very uncomfortable in comparison to the latter.

Then, what are the things to avoid when choosing leggings with faux leather?

This is what I’m going to reveal to you here:

The first one is thin faux leather fabrics!

Give your items luster and durability using this powerful faux leather cleaner: Click here!

Although a thick faux leather fabric may simply mean that your leggings will not be as comfortable as the ones made with a thin fabric, however, it means another very important thing, your leggings are going to withstand the test of time and wear and tear, in other words, they are going to last you much longer.

Another very important thing to avoid all the time when choosing leggings with faux leather is the smell.

If the faux leather fabric smells terrible, then it means that it’s made out of cheap material and to be honest with you, it may not have been cured properly, in other words, it can cause you health problems and even skin troubles!

Avoid this at all costs!

The third thing to avoid all the time is buying your exact same size.

This is what most women are going to do: by their exact same size!

Don't forget to use this faux leather conditioner once every 6 months, it will keep your faux leather objects like new: Click here!

And this will result in one thing, the faux leather fabric is going to be put under a lot of stress and pressure and soon, it’s going to start cracking, that’s why you need to always buy at least one extra larger size, this way, your leggings with faux leather are going to resist time and pressure a lot and they will always look great on you even when you gain a little weight.
