Faux Suede or Faux Leather?
Have you noticed the big trend with faux suede and faux leather this season? Today I am sharing my twist on a few of these items and I am also showing how to wear a few items in different ways to get more outfits and more bang for your buck! I am even sharing my look with faux leather pants for a comfy cozy weekend! Let me know what your thoughts are on the faux suede and faux leather trend…I would LOVE to hear it!!
This is a skirt that I am seriously crushing on…I’m literally wanting to wear it every day! This faux suede shift skirt is from The Loft and it is normally $79, now on sale for only $20 using code SUPER. It comes in more colors and it does have stretch in it, so I am wearing a size 8, and fits great. See the skirt here. Shop the Loft Super Saturday Sale 60% Off most items – here. My crewneck sweater is by The Drop from Amazon and it’s a Holiday Deal right now at 20% off! This comes in more colors and has been one of my favorites for a few years now. It’s a great lighter-weight sweater that can be worn casually or dressed up; see it here. Fit Tip: Sweater–Wearing color ivory in size large. 5’7″ tall, 38C bust. Skirt-Wearing size 8 regular length, hips-38 1/2 inches.
I mixed it up a bit for this outfit with a V-Neck Sweater from Gap Factory; normally $49, now only $18 using code GFMERRY, see it here, and it also comes in more color options. This is a wardrobe essential that’s great for layering over a button-down or styling with a blazer, denim jacket, and so many more options. My coat is by Calvin Klein that I bought last year and has been a go-to, not only for dressier items, but to wear with leggings, joggers, and my favorite jeans and sneakers! See the walker coat here. **I found a similar coat that’s more affordable on Amazon that’s under $60 here, with over 6K reviews! My crossbody is an Amazon Best Seller that comes in different sizes and multiple color options, see it here. **I also ordered this herringbone skirt from Loft that is 50% off using code SUPER
OK…it’s faux leather time and I know many of you feel this may be too young looking, but it’s not. There are multiple ways to style faux leather that is age appropriate for any age! Step out and try it – you might find that you love it! These faux leather pants are a pull-on style with pockets and an elastic waist and fits TTS (wearing a medium in reg length). I found these at Gap Factory, and they are on sale right now for $34, normally $69! Use code GFMERRY for an extra 25% off on most items, shop Gap Factory Sale here. See the pull-on faux leather pants here. I decided to get a little edgy with my Mia Booties (normally $80, now $59), but you can style these pants with black booties, sneakers, and heels…your options are limitless. My crewneck sweater is also from Gap Factory and I love it! It comes in more colors and is normally $59, but now only $31 using code GFMERRY. See it here– wearing a large in this for reference. **I wore this outfit to a girl’s dinner out/Christmas gift exchange and they loved it!
I decided to go with the faux leather skirt and slouchy western boots and I am loving this look. I love that I can shift items around and make multiple outfits and looks, and I bet you girls do too! My skirt is from Gap Factory and is another skirt that I’m becoming obsessed with, lol. This has stretch in it, and a zipper on the side, and it’s on sale for only $19 (60% off); see it here. I am wearing a size medium for reference. I love this look with the CK Walker Coat because I am trendy, but I feel modest with the coat, tights, and boots! **more skirts are linked below in Shop The Post
Go casual and style the pull-on pants with a pullover and sneakers! Or throw on your favorite sweatshirt, denim jacket and cap for a trendy weekend look.
Which are you a fan of the most? The faux suede or the faux leather?

I tired my first pair of faux black leather leggings just the other day and loved them-I wasn’t expecting to love the look. I am ordering the faux suede skirt from Loft right now. I tried it on earlier in the season at the mall but the price kept me from purchasing. Can’t wait to get it. Thank you for keeping us up to date on trends and sales. Merry Christmas!
