Today I’m sharing quality black leggings for fall. These are my favorite pairs that I actually own and love! All of the pairs I’m sharing are high-waisted, because I can’t wear anything else.

I’m sharing two honorable mentions below because I think I should share just a little more information about why I love them so much!

My extremely dirty mirror (how embarrassing) and my favorite Spanx leggings!

Honorable Mention: Zella Leggings

The Zella leggings are the pairs that are newest to me. I always hear such good things about them and recently broke down and bought them during the Nordstrom Sale. I love both the 7/8th length (it has pockets) and the Studio Crop Lite pairs that I bought!

Now that I have them, I would most definitely pay full price for these. They are buttery soft, and good quality material – a win-win AND the Zella leggings are VERY affordable at around $55-$60!

Dress Them Up or Down: SPANX Faux Leather Leggings

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings are a staple in my closet. They are a little bit of a splurge, but worth every penny! Keep in mind these are definitely not for working out in.

I wear mine multiple times between washes and love to pair a chunky sweater or cardigan with them!. Make sure to wash these inside out to prevent the “leather” look from wearing off!

I love that Spanx has tall/regular/petite sizing. I’m 5’5″ and the regular length is almost too long for me. I’d say if you’re under 5’5″, definitely go with the petite sizing. I also size up to a large, for reference!

I also love the Moto-style faux leather leggings from Spanx but definitely size up in these!

Here are my favorite high-quality black leggings for dressing up or down!
