When it comes to looking for fall pieces that’ll amp up your wardrobe, faux-leather fashion belongs at the top of your list. Shopping for vegan leather may have felt limited to classic moto jackets in the past, but that’s no longer the case; you can find luxe, faux-leather pieces in just about every category now.
Whether you want to swap your go-to power blazer for an of-the-moment leatherette version (do it!), or you’re ready to try those adored Spanx leggings everyone always talks about, Amazon has a solid selection of faux-leather clothes, shoes, and accessories.
To narrow down your shopping list, we tapped personal shopper and stylist Leigh Pollack to better explain why shopping vegan is a win-win. “Faux leather tends to be less expensive than animal leather, and of course, vegan leather is more environmentally-friendly and sustainable than real leather,” Pollack explained. “Some faux leathers are even more comfortable because they can be more breathable, and it is usually easier to integrate lycra/stretch into manmade materials.”
Below, check out 10 fall-ready faux-leather pieces on Amazon, starting at $25.

You’ll get a ton of wear out of this short-sleeve, belted dress, and it’s one of Pollack’s favorites. “I love the proportions of this dress, the beautiful caramel color of the faux leather, the great notched collar, the gathered sleeves, and the fun pockets,” she said. Pollack offered a no-brainer styling tip for those who want to personalize the dress. “Swap out the included trench belt for your own.” She specifically recommended an animal-print one.

The shirt and jacket hybrid remains a trendy silhouette, and this vegan leather one is especially unique. “This Ferngirl piece is a cool way to combine two big trends for fall: faux leather and the shacket,” Pollack said. It comes in 11 shades and is available in sizes S to XL. One shopper was especially happy with how it felt, describing it as “butter soft.”

Chances are, if you’ve asked someone what their favorite faux-leather leggings are, they’ve mentioned Spanx (InStyle editors have certainly raved about them). “Spanx leggings are almost universally flattering,” Pollack said. “I have sold them to pregnant clients, professional clients looking for flattering and comfortable silhouettes for the office, and stay-at-home moms looking for easy separates.” This olive green pair features an unexpected croc-embossed, shiny texture that’ll look great with an oversized sweater.

Retire last year’s boxy blazer for this oversized, faux-leather option with fabric-covered buttons and four pockets. Not sure how you’d style it? Pollack answered: “Wear it over straight-leg or button-fly mom jeans with a well-fitted T-shirt, belt, and boots, sneakers, or even pumps.”
