Calzedonia total shaper leather-effect leggings review

Back in January, as one of my New Year’s resolutions I wanted to go out of my comfort zone as many times as possibly. And I did not actually have in mind big adventures or changes, bout mostly smaller things like fashion or food choices for example. As for typical Taurus, this is just enough for me. Ok, let’s get serious people!

Leather-effect leggings trend has been around for quite some time and I love it- on others. Let’s be honest, it is not for everyone and you should style it properly.

I selected black, old looking, shaping leggings with semi-mat finish from Calzedonia. I love the finish, because it is not that straight in your face shiny leather effect, but it is a bit toned down and varies with the light.

The leggings are very comfortable to wear and flattering. They don’t emphasize private areas like some models do and are high-waisted which I like. Another important thing – they don’t make noise while walking, because this material in on the softer and I believe it is even partly breathable.


But by my opinion, there are two negative things about them so far:

·         They still smell quite chemically after washing

·         They are not for cold weather – but would be great for running around and doing your Christmas shopping at your favorite mall

But they also sell the same mode with thermal effect, so the choice is yours.

Because my legs and behind are not on super skinny side, I style them with longer shirts and pullovers or wear them under long coats for walks, so that I feel more confident.

I would like to try more from Calzedonia, because I always wear jeans and this is a nice change and quick escape into the world of comfort.
