Do H&M Coated Leggings fit true to size?

They tend to run small, particularly at the waist. Many buyers go one size up from their usual H&M leggings size.

How do I wash coated leggings?

Wash cold on a gentle cycle and skip the dryer. Heat and tumble drying can crack the coating and dull the shine.

Are they real leather?

No. They are stretch fabric with a coated, leather-look finish, so they are lighter and more flexible than leather trousers.

Can I wear them to the gym?

Not really. The coating does not breathe well, so they suit everyday wear and nights out rather than workouts.

How do they compare with faux-leather trousers?

They are softer and stretch more, so they move with you. Faux-leather trousers hold a sharper shape but feel stiffer.

Our take on the H&M Coated Leggings

H&M Coated Leggings are a shiny, leather-look legging in a stretch fabric, cut to sit close from waist to ankle. They give the wet-look finish of coated denim or faux leather without the stiffness, which is why they are a common pick for nights out, gigs and layered cold-weather outfits. Against faux-leather trousers they are lighter and easier to move in, but they show creasing and shine wear more than matte knit leggings. Buyers rate them highly for fit and look, while the main complaints are that the coating can feel warm and that sizing runs small.

Buyers rate these leggings very highly, mostly for the shiny leather look and the flattering high-waisted fit. Complaints center on the coating feeling warm and on the fit running tight, so many advise sizing up.
