Leather clothing is dominating this season’s fashion scene. Personally, I love the edgy vibe that it can add to outfits. But this trend can feel intimidating to style in a sophisticated way- especially on a budget. That’s where affordable faux leather outfits come in. Faux leather gives you the opportunity to try your hand at the leather trend. But it is easier on your wallet and often more versatile.
One of my favorite ways to embrace this trend is by incorporating faux leather pieces into everyday outfits, from work-appropriate skirts to casual looks. Shein has become a go-to for affordable faux leather outfits, offering on-trend options that make adding leather to your closet accessible and fun. In this post, I’ll review some of their standout faux leather pieces and share how women over 30 can wear them with confidence—whether you’re styling for the office, brunch with friends, or a night out. Let’s make this bold trend work for you!
Leather Pants
These leather pants from Shein are a fantastic addition to a fall wardrobe. With their thick, warm fabric and true-to-size fit, they feel comfortable and look even better in person, delivering both practicality and style. I styled them with a cozy burgundy sweater and a plaid cape. This layered look is perfect for crisp fall days. These pants’ vintage faded wash pairs effortlessly with rich autumnal tones, making them a versatile piece for any casual or semi-dressy outfit.

This faux leather vest from Shein is a standout piece for elevating your fall wardrobe. Its buttery soft fabric feels luxurious. The flattering fitted design adds a polished touch to any outfit.

Want to add some edge to your holiday look? This red leather dress is a must-have for adding a touch of elegance and edge to your wardrobe. This dress is incredibly flattering, cinching the waist with its matching belt to create a polished silhouette. The texture looks impressively realistic, giving it a high-end appearance perfect for both day and evening wear. I added a holiday plaid underneath for extra coverage and matching chunky mary jane shoes.

Pleated shorts are a fun way to show some leg in fall, especially paired with tights and boots. Available in a variety of colors and textures, this pair offers plenty of options to suit different styles and occasions. The fabric is incredibly soft, providing a comfortable fit that stays true to size. I styled these shorts with a lace-trim sweater, brown tights, and knee-high riding boots for a polished yet cozy fall look. Their pleated design adds a touch of sophistication, making them perfect for both casual outings and slightly dressier occasions.
