Stand-out workout leggings are a sartorial Swiss Army knife: technical and supportive while in motion, comfortable and comforting when it’s time to relax or when regular pants don’t appeal.

Since , we’ve worked out (and worked from home) in over 70 pairs of leggings, scrutinizing their fabric, fit, performance, and style. In addition to our own thorough vetting, we enlisted testers with different body types to try the most promising contenders and provide detailed feedback, which informed our recommendations.
Our picks were chosen with a range of budgets, activities, and preferences in mind. So whether you’re a cardio fanatic, a strength-training devotee, a weekend yogi, or a varsity-level napper, we’ve got you covered.
These leggings (which come in three lengths) have a flared leg that makes a style statement without looking exaggerated or hindering workouts. They feel smooth and silky, but they’re sturdy enough for strenuous exercise.
The Athleta Elation Ultra High Rise Flare Pant is a soft, smooth pair with a kicky flare that’s au courant. But these leggings are not just a fashion moment: They’re substantial and built for real workouts.
They fit like a (flared) glove. The Elation Ultra High Rise leggings are pleasantly snug, with a properly high waistband that doesn’t pinch. They’re available in a trio of lengths: Petite (29½ inches), Regular (31½ inches), and Tall (34½ inches). (Sizes 1X to 3X come only in the 31½-inch length.) The bounty of inseam choices is a huge selling point, since nailing the length of flared leggings can be challenging.
This pair is both street- and workout-ready. Given these leggings’ cute, wide-but-not-too-wide flared legs, we expected them to be great for everyday life—and they are. What surprised us was how well they performed during workouts; the gently compressive Elation Ultra High Rise Flare leggings are sturdier than they look.
The fabric feels light and airy, but these leggings also have some structure—they stay put. One tester described them as “substantial and silky,” praising “the sturdiness they provided at my lower back” when she wore them to practice yoga. (They also work well for light strength training or a barre class.)
The sporty flare doesn’t get in the way. Some flared leggings are so wide that they’re too much—or the excess fabric interferes. The Elation Ultra High Rise Flare leggings have a flare that’s pronounced yet still practical. (“These are as wide as I’m willing to go,” said one tester.)
I’m 5-foot-10, and tested these in the 31½-inch length (size M), which just grazed the tops of my feet. If I were choosing flared pants solely for daily life, I would’ve gone longer, but the slightly shorter length was just right for trip-free workouts.
These leggings have a handy waistband pocket. In the back waistband, there’s a drop-in pocket about 8 inches wide. It’s useful for toting a couple keys or a credit card—and it’s actually big enough for a smaller-size , in the horizontal position.
Versatile and flattering, these medium-compression leggings have a structured fit and substantial feel, so they’re well suited to just about any activity. They come in a wide variety of sizes, two lengths, and about a dozen colors.
Versatile and flattering, these medium-compression leggings—with handy side pockets—have a structured fit and substantial feel, so they’re well suited to just about any activity. They come in a wide variety of sizes, two lengths, and eight colors.
Our testers loved the Girlfriend Collective Compressive High-Rise Legging and its pocketed counterpart, the Girlfriend Collective Compressive Pocket Legging. These versatile leggings have a substantial feel, and their medium compression supports and flatters during workouts and beyond.
They come in a wide range of sizes and two lengths. These leggings are available in more sizes (XXS to 6XL) than nearly any other pair we tested, and they come in two lengths (23¾ inches and 28½ inches).
One 5-foot-2 tester, who tried a size XS in the shorter length, deemed them “spot-on” for her frame. Another 5-foot-2 tester, who wore a size XXL in the shorter length, observed that although the Compressive leggings fit her well in the waist, she had to keep tugging the crotch and thighs to get them positioned comfortably. I’m 5-foot-10 and wore a size M, 28½-inch inseam; these leggings hit me at a just-right ankle length, and they felt supportive everywhere else.
The fabric is comfortably compressive. The Compressive leggings are made from a medium-weight fabric that’s substantial, smooth, and cool to the touch. They provide a secure, held-in fit and the right amount of stretch, stopping short of resembling a superhero uniform. They’re also unusually flattering. With a structured fit and seams that wrap around the body, they create a more-appealing silhouette than many other pairs that rely solely on stretch.
They’re the most versatile leggings we tested. This pair is well suited to all kinds of movement; I regularly run outdoors in them, and I confidently pop them on for strength training, long walks, and errands. They felt great during an indoor-cycling class, and the waistband stayed put. (Afterward, they dried in roughly 30 minutes.)
The pocketed version hits the mark. Many leggings’ pockets are the wrong size, positioned awkwardly, or too slack. But the Compressive Pocket Legging (which costs around $10 more than the non-pocketed style with just one small back waistband pocket) has side-drop pockets; these pockets have enough integrity to sandwich an iPhone XS securely during higher-impact activities, without the weight dragging down the waistband. (One Wirecutter staffer did report that when she wears these to jog, her tends to slide up and down in the pocket; we didn’t experience this.)
These splurge-worthy, buttery-soft leggings are so decadently comfy it can seem as if you’re wearing nothing at all. The heathered fabric is lightweight and stretchy, rather than structured, so these leggings are ideal for lower-impact activities. But the fit may be too body-conscious for some.
Wearing the Beyond Yoga Spacedye Caught In The Midi High Waisted Legging is the next best thing to being naked. Thanks to lots of stretch, this pair is ultra-soft and form-fitting, and the material has a subtly heathered look. These leggings are particularly well suited to lower-impact workouts—yoga, Pilates, stretching, walks—as well as to lounging. Our testers unanimously agreed that these were the softest and most comfortable yet luxe-feeling pair they tried.
They’re delightful for lighter exercise—and lounging. These leggings are thin and super-stretchy. In motion they feel flexible and fluid, ideal for low-impact activities or doing nothing at all. (With that said, I put them through a high-intensity kettlebell workout, and they were cool, comfortable, and not wholly unsupportive.)
The fabric is as soft as it gets. The Spacedye leggings have a luxurious, almost sueded texture; slipping into them feels like a little reward. “Love [the material],” said one tester. “Soft, velvety and stretchy, but substantial enough for light activity.”
They have a subtly heathered finish. As the name implies, these leggings are space-dyed, a technique that gives fabric a distinctive (though not heavy-handed) heathered appearance. One tester mentioned that she appreciated this special touch in a sea of flat, inky blacks.
Even for leggings, they’re quite form-fitting. The Spacedye leggings have a very body-conscious fit—there are no seams on the outer legs, and they’re less structured overall than others that we tested. Two panelists said they fit “perfectly,” but the freewheelin’ feel isn’t for everybody. “They hug and emphasize every lump and bump,” said one tester (5-foot-2, size XS).
Note: Beyond Yoga previously sold the Spacedye leggings in a size XXL (18 to 20); the leggings in that size range are now labeled size 1X instead.
There’s only one inseam option. The Spacedye leggings come in a single, 24-inch Midi length. On my 5-foot-10 frame, they hit right around the top of my ankle—remarkable, considering a 24-inch length typically feels too short. However, if you’re petite, these leggings may actually be too long, though their stretchiness does make them fairly accommodating (in both directions).
These lightweight leggings are soft and stretchy—they feel nice when you’re on the move, and they’re so comfy that you’ll want to wear them all day. They come in three lengths, and they’re priced to stock up on—just beware that the brushed fabric broadcasts stains and moisture.
For soft, lightweight leggings that don’t cost an arm and a leg, look to the Offline by Aerie The Hugger High Waisted Legging. Like our Beyond Yoga Spacedye pick, these stretchy leggings are notably soft and comfortable for lower-impact activities and lounging—and they’re about half the price (even less when they go on sale, which is often).
They’re amazingly comfy. Similar to our Spacedye pick, the Hugger leggings are more stretchy than structured; they live up to their name. “These do, indeed, feel like a hug,” noted supervising style editor Ingela Ratledge Amundson. “They gently envelop you.”
Testers also praised this pair’s soft, brushed fabric; one described it as feeling like a “broken-in old T-shirt.” Warning: Because of its texture and matte finish, this material will stain easily—sweat, water droplets from washing your hands, and oil and grease will announce themselves loudly.
They’re great for easy workouts. The Hugger leggings moved smoothly through a variety of activities, including mobility exercises, long walks, and stretching. A tester who wore them for yoga confirmed that they didn’t require any mid-session adjustments.
The general lack of structure makes these leggings best suited for lower-impact activities—or even for use as pajamas. (One panelist dubbed them “perfect sick-day pants.”) Still, I was pleasantly surprised by how they performed during a circuit workout. During a variety of activities, from kettlebell swings to lunges, the waistband flipped down only slightly.
They’re a major bargain. With so many expensive leggings out there, it’s refreshing to find a cute, well-made pair for around $55 that feels pretty darn close to premium. True, the Hugger leggings aren’t as refined as their $100 counterparts—and we don’t yet know how they’ll hold up. But considering the price difference, we’re willing to compromise a little.
With three length options, they cater to different heights—and they fit well. We like that the Hugger leggings come in three lengths: Short (24¾ inches), Regular (26¾ inches), and Long (28¾ inches). Most of our testers praised this pair’s fit; the waistband is appropriately high and doesn’t roll or dig. (One 5-foot-6 tester, who tried a size XXL in the 26¾-inch length, thought they were too loose at the ankle and sometimes gave “a camel toe look.”)
There are three small (but useful) waistband pockets. The Hugger leggings have a trio of back-waistband slot pockets, which are around 4 inches wide each. They’re large enough to hold credit cards and other small sundries, or even a small . In our experience, however, having bulky items pressed up against your lumbar region isn’t the comfiest feeling. (Note: These leggings also come in a pocketed version, which we haven’t tested.)
Breathable, supportive, and fast-drying, these leggings come in four lengths. They have the technical prowess to comfortably see you through the toughest exercise session—and to look good doing it. The medium-weight fabric feels cool and smooth, though the slightly brushed texture is prone to showing smudges and attracting lint.
Breathable, supportive, and fast-drying, these pocketed leggings come in three lengths. They have the technical prowess to comfortably see you through the toughest exercise session—and to look good doing it. The medium-weight fabric feels cool and smooth, though the slightly brushed texture is prone to showing smudges and attracting lint.
Lululemon is often credited (or blamed) for spearheading the fervor over booty-boosting premium workout leggings. The playing field has gotten far more crowded, but when it comes to a technical, great-looking legging with a spot-on fit, it’s still tough to do better than the Lululemon Wunder Train High-Rise Tight and its pocketed version, the Lululemon Wunder Train High-Rise Tight with Pockets.
They’re made to move. The Wunder Train leggings are up for anything. I wore them for sweaty indoor-cycling classes during a heat wave, and I appreciated their breathability and ability to dry in a relative snap. (After I got caught in a mix of rain, sleet, and snow during a run, these leggings dried in about 20 minutes.) I regularly don them for runs and strength workouts, and I generally feel free to squat, stretch, and jump to my heart’s content.
Our Girlfriend Collective High-Rise pick is the closest to these leggings on the technical front. Both pairs perform well, but the Wunder Train leggings are stretchier; their slightly brushed fabric feels less smooth and cool to the touch, but these leggings are actually lighter and less warm than the Girlfriend Collective leggings. (The Wunder Train leggings are the ones I’d reach for if I were headed to a group-fitness class where the room is sure to heat up.)
The fabric is technical and supportive. These leggings feel lightweight, but they’re substantial enough to provide medium support; they have an energizing edge to them. The fabric is smooth and soft, with a subtly brushed texture. Because the fabric is quite matte, testers noticed that it tended to attract lint and show smudges and moisture.
This pair delivers both form and function. Simple and flattering, these leggings have no extraneous seams and a wide, flat non-constricting waistband that stays put. The seam placement on the backside does, in fact, give the backside a low-key lift—not entirely transformative, but certainly flattering.
If you’re between sizes in these leggings, you may want to size up. (According to Lululemon’s measurements, I’m a size 8 in the waist and a size 6 in the hips. A pair in size 8, with a 25-inch inseam, fit flawlessly.)
Multiple inseam options allow you to nail the just-right length. The original, unpocketed Wunder Train leggings come in more lengths than any of our other picks: 23 inches, 25 inches, 28 inches, and 31 inches. The pocketed style is available in 23 inches, 25 inches, and 28 inches; note that not all lengths are available in every color. Due to this unusually wide variety, this pair is particularly ideal for shorter or taller people, who are often forced to settle for leggings in a less-than-ideal length.
The pocketed version is pricey but excellent. If you prefer pocketed leggings—and are willing to pay a hefty upcharge—the Wunder Train High-Rise Tight with Pockets pair won’t disappoint. These leggings have two nicely positioned, roomy side-drop pockets; plus, on the back waistband, they have a roughly 4-inch-wide slot pocket that’s big enough to hold a credit card or a key or two.
To accommodate the side pockets, there are two seams that run about a third of the way down the front leg; the seaming doesn’t deter from this pair’s clean lines. The pockets have enough integrity to hold a smaller iPhone securely, without sagging or pulling down the waistband. Also, these leggings are lined with mesh—a nice touch that provides some ventilation and sidesteps potential bulkiness. The mesh dries quickly, though my did get a little damp after a 35-minute run in drizzly weather.
Soft, flattering, and well made enough for even high-intensity workouts, these leggings deliver serious bang for the buck—plus, they have well-designed side pockets. But they come in just one length (28 inches), and some testers struggled to find the right size and fit.
An unexpected overachiever, the well-priced Iuga FlexTight High Waist Tummy Control Leggings with Pockets are a comfortable, durable choice. This medium-weight pair performed well during yoga and high-intensity workouts alike. Plus, they fit and feel better than nearly any other budget leggings we tried—as well as many that cost far more.
They fit strikingly well for the price. The FlexTight leggings deliver a flattering, albeit not flawless, fit. They come in just one full-length inseam (around 28 inches; it varies slightly by size). Flat seams down the sides and across the rear lend these leggings a nice shape, while the soft material provides gentle yet supportive compression. Senior editor Catherine Kast raved, saying they are “the best leggings I own.” She added that they feel thicker than her Lululemon Wunder Train pair and “are even more flattering to my shape.”
They weren’t a home run for everyone. One 5-foot-2, size XXL tester complained that the 1-inch elastic strip at the waistband dug in, making her feel “claustrophobic.” Another tester (5-foot-9, size S) found them to be too loose at the ankle.
They’re multi-purpose. The FlexTight leggings performed well during a variety of low-impact yoga poses and higher-intensity efforts. I wear them regularly for outdoor runs, particularly in cooler temperatures. Also, these leggings dry quickly—they never feel uncomfortably damp after a run.
The pockets are deep and secure. The side-drop pockets on the FlexTight leggings are comfortably placed and appropriately deep and secure. When I did jumping jacks and went for a run with my iPhone XS in one of the pockets, it didn’t cause the waistband to slip. (These leggings also have one small slot pocket in the front waistband; it’s large enough to hold a couple of keys or a credit card.)
These leggings—available exclusively in sizes L to 7X, and in three different lengths—have well-placed side pockets. They’re made from thick, compressive fabric that feels supportive yet breathable through all sorts of workouts.
Supportive and flattering, the Superfit Hero Superhold Pocket Ankle Leggings are a strong choice for plus-size people. (Superfit Hero transitioned to selling exclusively plus and extended sizes in late .) These medium-weight leggings are thick yet breathable, with a high waist and roomy side-drop pockets.
They come in the highest range of sizes of all the leggings we tested. Available in sizes L (12 to 14) to 7X (40 to 44), the Superhold Pocket leggings cater to an under-serviced cohort. Our size-16-to-18 tester, who tried them in a size 2X, praised the quality feel of the thick fabric, and this tester mostly liked the fit, though the waist was a bit snug. (Of the more than 300 reviews on the company’s website, the majority are five-star ratings.)
They come in three lengths. The Superhold Pocket Ankle Leggings have a 29-inch inseam, which is full-length. But if you’d prefer, these are also available in a 26-inch length and a 20-inch capri version. (Our 5-foot-2, 2X tester liked the capris.)
The fabric is pleasingly compressive. Smooth, dense, and soft, with a decent amount of stretch, these leggings offer a held-in feel that isn’t a squeeze. “I really love these,” said one 5-foot-10 tester, who wore a size L. “They sit right where they’re supposed to on my size 12/14 waist and don’t fall down, even while power walking.”
All exercise feels good in this pair. These leggings strike a nice balance between ready to sweat and ready to recover. They felt great during serious workouts (a 45-minute indoor cycling class, a 3-mile run) and less-intense sessions. The two side drop-pockets are conveniently positioned, and they hold their contents securely; we didn’t experience any pulling at the waistband while in motion.
Available in three lengths and unusually appealing colors, these flattering and delightfully comfy leggings are worth the splurge. The luxe, super-smooth material is lightweight and low-compression, so these leggings are best suited to lower-impact workouts and casual daily wear.
Remarkably soft and smooth, the Vuori AllTheFeels Legging is a worthwhile everyday luxury; this pair is a real treat. And they come in three lengths and have a streamlined fit and elevated look. Their light compression makes them best suited to relaxed, low-impact activities.
Note: Vuori is adding another version of the AllTheFeels legging to its collection; the new style will feature a slim-flare leg. We will test it and report back with our findings.
They have a satisfying fit. The AllTheFeels leggings have a high waist that doesn’t pinch or slip, and they have a subtle, booty-flattering V-shaped back panel. They’re available in three lengths: Short (22 inches), Regular (24 inches), and Long (27 inches). (Every color may not be available in each length.)
All of our testers thought these leggings fit extremely well. “Couldn’t love these more,” enthused senior style editor Jennifer Hunter, who wore a size M in the 27-inch length.
Our testers found them super-soft, comfy, and lightweight. Smooth and buttery, the AllTheFeels pair’s fabric won raves in our testing. These leggings are markedly thin—on a par with the softness of our Beyond Yoga Spacedye pick, and a little thinner than our Offline by Aerie The Hugger pick. They provide a gentle level of compression that most (but not all) of our testers enjoyed.
“They’re thin enough for me to feel slightly ‘exposed,’” noted senior style writer Zoe Vanderweide, who wore a size M in the 24-inch length. “I want to cover up with a long T-shirt.” Another panelist thought that her (black) test leggings, though not actually see-through, were the least opaque of the leggings she tried. But she also noted that “they felt so nice, it didn’t matter much.”
They scream “quiet luxury.” Even among the other leggings in this pair’s (lofty) price range, these leggings look particularly chic and well made. They come in an elegant range of colors, and the hues are saturated and rich.
This pair is best reserved for low-impact days. The AllTheFeels leggings did fine during a circuit workout—kettle-bell swings included—though they did slip down a bit. But ultimately, because of their fluidity, this pair is best for low-impact exercise, daily wear, and lounging.
If you want multitasking leggings with a soft shine: The Alo 7/8 High-Waist Airlift Legging has a glowy sheen that some testers loved. These pricey, medium-compression leggings felt great during strength-training workouts and stretching. Their size range—XXS (00 to 0) to XL (16 to 18)—is limited, though, and they also seem to run a little small. Their 7/8 length translates to around 24 inches (it varies slightly by size). A 28-inch inseam is also available in this style, though it goes up only to a size L and comes in a different array of colors.
If you want a bootcut legging with more substance: The Alo Airbrush High-Waist Bootcut Legging has a tame bootcut silhouette and a structured, flattering fit. This pair’s substantial fabric isn’t as soft or smooth as that of our other picks, and it can feel a bit heavy. The size offering—XXS (00 to 0) to XL (16 to 18)—is limited. And the inseam is around 32 inches (it varies slightly by size), which may not be long enough for very tall folks, but it was way too long for our 5-foot-6, size-L tester. If you’re 5-foot-5 or under, Alo recommends going with its 24½-inch inseam High-Waist 7/8 Bootcut Legging.
If you want leggings built for intense workouts: The pocketed Athleta Interval Stash High Rise 7/8 Legging—also available in an equally solid non-pocketed version—is a sturdy and supportive high-compression pair for hard efforts. These leggings are available in three lengths: 23 inches, 25 inches, and 28 inches. (One 6-foot-tall tester, who wore a size M in the 28-inch inseam, dealt with a “fair amount of adjusting” to get the fit right.) I wore these on four-mile runs, and I appreciated their energizing support, sleek look, and quick-drying ways. (They also breezed through my circuit workout test.)
If you want soft leggings for a variety of activities: We nearly made the stretchy, medium-weight Athleta Elation Ultra High Rise Legging a pick. These are available in three lengths (23 inches, 25 inches, and 28 inches); they hit testers of varying heights at a flattering spot on the ankle. These leggings were cool and gently supportive during down time, but they were also right at home during high-movement workouts, lower-impact exercise, and yoga. (Technically, they’re intended for yoga.)
If you want everyday leggings that come in a broad range of sizes: The Universal Standard Next-to-Naked Legging, a former pick, comes in an unusually inclusive size range, 4XS (00 to 0) to 4XL (38 to 40), and two lengths, 27 inches and 21 inches. This sleek, versatile pair provides gentle compression and a smooth, cool feel. These leggings are thinner and less constructed than many other pairs we’ve tried, which was fine for lighter workouts; they actually became our go-to for casual wear. We also tested the pocketed version; the pockets weren’t quite as strong as we’d like.
I’m a supervising editor on the large-appliances beat. I spent my first three years at Wirecutter as a writer covering fitness, testing treadmills, indoor-cycling bikes, and GPS running watches. In a past life, I worked as a full-time certified personal trainer, for just over two years, wearing (you guessed it) a wardrobe of workout leggings. I’m a runner and a lifelong fitness enthusiast, and I have at least 15 pairs of leggings in my rotation.
We’ve been evaluating leggings since . For this guide, I did the following:
Like all Wirecutter journalists, I review and test products with complete editorial independence. I’m never made aware of any business implications of my editorial recommendations. And in accordance with Wirecutter standards, I return or donate all products I’ve tested once my assessment of them is complete. Read more about our editorial standards.
Since this guide was first published, in , we’ve tested nearly 70 pairs of leggings. For our most recent round of testing, in , I personally evaluated 22 new pairs. (I’m 5-foot-10 and typically wear a women’s size 6 to 8 or M.)
I focused on finding versatile, high-quality leggings for various scenarios: an intense workout, a low-key yoga session, an afternoon full of errands. I did not consider high-performance compression leggings intended for recovery.
I wore each pair of leggings for one to two days minimum. I washed and dried them according to the care instructions. And I completed at least one workout in them—typically either an outdoor run of 3-plus miles or strength training. To compare the leggings in motion, I also wore each pair for the same circuit workout, which included kettlebell swings, overhead dumbbell presses, squats, plank walkouts with knee tucks, and Twisted Warrior (try it!).
After all that, I chose the most promising six pairs to move on for testing by four Wirecutter staffers, ranging in height from 5-foot-6 to 6 feet tall and in women’s sizes from 2 to 16/18. (In , a panel of three staffers—ranging in height from 5-foot-2 to 5-foot-9, and in women’s sizes from 2 to 16/18—did the honors.)
Along the way, we zeroed in on the following criteria:
Fabric: We paid close attention to how the fabric felt to the touch and while being worn. We looked for opacity issues. We looked for material that would retain its integrity and texture over time, regardless of whether it was compressive or stretchy.
Fit: A good pair of workout leggings must fit well. Some of the pairs we tried were more structured, while others leaned on lots of stretch. Details like well-placed seams tend to be flattering. If a pair advertised a high waist, we expected it to reach the belly button or higher. Were the leggings too tight? Did they sag in the crotch or bag at the knees? Could they stay put?
Size range: We considered the range of available sizes, giving bonus points to more-inclusive brands. All of our picks are available in at least up to a size 20, and some of our favorites come in extended sizes. We preferred pairs with different inseam lengths, although it wasn’t a must. (This is helpful for all legging types, but it proved particularly crucial for flared styles.)
Performance: We wanted pairs that felt as good during workouts as they did at rest. Leggings won us over if they dried quickly and moved with (not against) us. Did they feel supportive and energizing or soft and relaxing? Were they breathable and moisture-wicking?
Style and versatility: We took note of how the leggings transitioned between activities and, importantly, how they looked while doing it. We considered whether they paired as well with a running shoe as they did with a street sneaker, and whether they could mix with non-athletic clothing.
This is not a comprehensive list of everything we tested in previous iterations of this guide, just what’s still available.
The Alo 7/8 High-Waist Airbrush Legging felt soft and thick to the touch but scratchy on the body, and multiple testers had complaints (too tight in the thigh, too hot even when sitting around).
The Athleta Salutation Stash High Rise ⅞ Legging was fine yet inconsistent. Our petite tester (XS petite) liked the fit and length, but another tester (1X) wasn’t able to get them on.
We chose not to test leggings from Fabletics, a subscription-based company, because we just don’t think it’s necessary to receive new leggings on a monthly basis.
The high-compression Fanka Body Sculpt 7/8 Leggings (Reversible Wear) fit very tightly. Though they weren’t wholly uncomfortable during a run and strength exercises, they wore me instead of me wearing them.
The stretchy, seamless, full-length Gymshark Vital Seamless 2.0 Leggings are very specific. They’re like a thick, snug pair of tights with an ultra-high waist, resulting in a saucy silhouette that put a little swagger in the step of a few testers. They felt great while exercising, but they’re not for everyone.
The thick, bright Loony Legs Recycled Floral Leggings “Fireflies” Blue/Yellow with Pockets felt cool to the touch, though not particularly smooth or soft. They have nicely sized side pockets, but I found them a tad droopy in the crotch.
We tried four pairs from Nike. The Pro 365 leggings have mesh vents at the calves and slick, techy fabric with a nice weight to it, but the mid-rise waist didn’t fly with some testers. The Go Women's Firm-Support High-Waisted 7/8 Leggings with Pockets look great and have a super-slick, almost slippery texture. They have six pockets, including a zippered one on the thigh that seemed extraneous. (Ultimately, they felt like a lot.) The wetsuit-like Universal Women's Medium-Support High-Waisted Full-Length Leggings with Pockets looked sleek, but we struggled to get our phones in and out of the side-drop pockets. And the slightly coarse Zenvy Women’s Gentle-Support High-Waisted 7/8 Leggings had a wide, deep back pocket that didn’t hold our phones as securely as we would’ve liked.
The thin fabric of the Offline By Aerie Real Me High Waisted Crossover Legging doesn’t have enough body to hold up the pair’s crossover V-shape waistband, which folded over repeatedly during testing.
Sleek, smooth, and well made, the On Performance Tights have a waistband that hits closer to mid-rise than high-rise. Alas, during a run, my bounced around in their large back pocket; also, the pocket’s location makes it trickier to access items while in motion.
We tried the Pact Everyday Legging, a pair made from 92% organic cotton and 8% elastane. (That exact model has been discontinued, but this similar pair is still available.) They felt fine—if a bit rough and stiff—but didn’t move with the same fluidity as our picks, fitting tightly at the waist and ankle and gathering behind the knees.
With their slightly nipped-in waist and snug, held-in feel, the Spanxshape Booty Boost 7/8 Leggings are more like shapewear than workout leggings. But the seam across the midsection seems awkwardly placed, and they weren’t as sleek or invigorating in motion as we’d like.
The company is the world’s best Women's seamless workout leggings supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
The Sweaty Betty Power 7/8 Gym Leggings performed great on a 5½-mile run, and we liked the techy fabric, flattering seams, and smooth texture. They have a zippered back pocket for keys or a credit card, but there’s just one drop-in pocket on the left side, which felt a hair unbalanced.
The light, slippery Vuori Evolve Legging performed just fine in testing, though the waistband slipped about an inch. But their pick-worthy sibling, the Vuori AllTheFeels Legging, proved comfier and more versatile.
The Zella Live In High Waist Leggings made it through a lot of activities (indoor cycling, stretching, running errands), and they also have a warm, loungy feel. But our petite tester (size petite XS) found them much to be too tight, and another (size XL) thought they felt cheap and not stretchy enough.
Smooth and comfortable, the Beyond Yoga Spacedye All Day Flare High Waisted Pant (a wider-leg cousin of our Beyond Yoga pick) has a very high waist and pronounced flare, which makes them feel less versatile. And (somewhat oddly) this pair has small front slash pockets, which bulged if we put anything in them.
The two small back pockets on the Halara HaloTek Air High-waisted Flare Yoga Leggings with Pockets were an insurmountable dealbreaker. (One tester called them “embarrassing,” while another remarked, “Are these leggings trying to masquerade as slacks?”)
We liked the ultra-smooth fabric of the Lululemon Align Mini-Flare Pant. But the proportions were off, striking an awkward silhouette for most of our testers. This pair was tight in the calf before opening slightly to a “mini-flare” at the hem, so it was caught between a standard legging and a boot-cut legging.

But what should you wear? Many women choose to wear leggings for their workouts, and for good reason. Leggings are comfortable and versatile, and they provide the right level of support and coverage.
At Revive Wear, we understand the struggle of finding activewear that not only performs well but also aligns with your values.
That's why we've put together these 7 tips to guide you in choosing the right leggings for your workout. From fabric choice to fit, we've got you covered.
So grab your water bottle, lace up your sneakers, and let's dive into the world of activewear together.

When you're choosing the right leggings for your workout, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
First and foremost, they should be comfortable. You should feel comfortable enough to move freely without feeling restricted. Also, make sure they aren't too tight or loose. They shouldn't bunch up at the bottom or fall.
Another important consideration is whether the leggings are squat-proof. This means that they should not become sheer or see-through when you bend or squat during your exercises.
It's also important to consider the level of activity you'll be participating in. If you're doing high-intensity workouts, you'll want leggings that are stretchy and squat-proof.
Furthermore, when deciding between capri leggings or gym leggings, think about the type of workouts you typically do. Capri leggings are great for warmer weather or if you prefer a shorter length, while full high waisted leggings offer more coverage and warmth during colder months.
Choose red seamless leggings with a supportive waistband that will not slide down as you move. A secure waistband will help keep your leggings in place throughout your workout, allowing you to focus on your performance rather than adjusting your clothing constantly.
Finally, think about what color you want. Black is always a good choice because it's versatile and goes with everything, but if you're looking for something a little more fun, there are plenty of colorful options available too.
When choosing leggings for a gym workout, it's essential to select a style that not only feels comfortable but also flatters your body shape.
The Revive Crossover leggings with pockets are designed to do just that. The high waistband of these leggings helps to smooth and sculpt your midsection, giving you a flattering silhouette while providing support during your workout.
Additionally, the soft and luxurious feel of the fabric ensures that these leggings move with your body, offering maximum comfort during any exercise routine. The 4-way stretch fabric allows for flexibility and ease of movement, making these leggings suitable for a variety of workouts, from yoga to running.
When considering the length of the leggings, opt for a full-length style that complements your body shape. The Black Recycled Crossover Leggings are designed to flatter your legs and accentuate your curves, providing a sleek and stylish look while offering UPF 50+ protection for outdoor workouts. Choose a style that not only feels good but also makes you feel confident and empowered during your workout.
Leggings come in many different colors and styles, but how do you know which ones to pick?
When choosing leggings for your workout, consider picking a color that compliments your skin tone.
Start by selecting a neutral shade like gray, brown, or black, which tend to work well with most skin tones. From there, you can choose darker or lighter shades of these colors to enhance your overall look.
If you're feeling bold, mix it up with some colorful options to make a statement and stand out during your workout. Remember, the key is to feel confident and comfortable in your leggings while also ensuring they work well with your skin tone for a flattering and stylish appearance.
When it comes to choosing the right leggings for your workout, one of the most important factors to consider is finding the perfect fit.
It's crucial to check the size chart provided by the brand to ensure that you're selecting the right size for your body. Ill-fitting leggings can be uncomfortable and may impede your performance during exercise.
Depending on your preference and workout routine, you may want to decide between capri leggings or full length gym leggings.
Capri leggings are great for warmer weather or shorter individuals, while full length high waisted leggings offer more coverage and warmth during colder months.
If you like to have your essentials handy while working out, look for leggings with pockets that are designed to be practical without adding bulk.
The Revive Crossover leggings with pockets offer a convenient solution for storing your , keys, or other small items without sacrificing comfort or style.
Consider whether high-waisted or mid-rise leggings are more comfortable for you during workouts.
High-waisted leggings provide extra support and coverage, while mid-rise options may offer a more relaxed fit. Choose based on your personal preference and what makes you feel most confident during your workouts.
By taking these factors into account and finding the right fit for your body and workout style, you can ensure that your leggings not only look great but also enhance your performance in the gym or studio.
When it comes to choosing the right leggings for your workout, quality should always be a top priority. Investing in high-quality leggings may cost a bit more upfront, but in the long run, it will save you money and frustration.
Quality leggings, like our Black Fitness Leggings with Pockets, are designed to last through countless workouts without losing their shape or functionality.
Quality leggings are made with durable materials that can withstand the rigors of your toughest workouts.
Look for leggings that are made with high-performance fabrics that are designed to wick away sweat, provide compression fit where you need it, and offer UPF 50+ protection against harmful UV rays.

About Revive Wear
When choosing the right gym leggings for your workout, the fabric type plays a crucial role in ensuring comfort and durability during your exercise routine.
Polyester is a popular choice for activewear due to its ability to hold up well to repeated washing and its durability compared to other fabrics. This makes it an ideal option for those who engage in frequent physical activities.
Additionally, fabrics like spandex and lycra are known for their stretch and flexibility, providing you with the freedom of movement necessary for various workout routines.
Other leggings are made up of a combination of materials like elastane along with polyester, nylon, and even silver. This blending feature helps to release moisture quickly (good for sweat release and reducing odour).
Lastly, some yoga pants are made up of synthetic materials like cotton, wool, and bamboo. These are ultra-comfortable to wear but come with limited sweat-absorbing abilities.
Semi-compression high waisted leggings offer a balance between support and comfort, making them a great choice for workouts that require a mix of intense movement and relaxation.
The compression helps to support joints and reduces muscle fatigue during your workout, while still allowing for a full range of motion. Compression fabrics have been shown to improve recovery in weight training.
Opting for seamless leggings made from recyclable polyester not only benefits the environment by reducing waste, but also ensures that your activewear is sustainable and eco-friendly.
When choosing leggings, make sure to consider the fit. Leggings that are too tight can restrict movement and be uncomfortable, while leggings that are too loose can slide down during your workout.
Our Revive Crossover leggings are designed to flatter your shape with a comfortable waistband that stays in place no matter how intense your workout gets.
At Revive Wear we offer gym leggings and yoga pants that are hand made with sizing options from sizes xs to 6xl.
By choosing environmentally conscious options, you are contributing to a cleaner planet while enjoying the benefits of durable and high-quality leggings for your workouts
When choosing the right leggings for your workout, paying attention to the lining can make a big difference in your comfort and performance.
A breathable liner will keep you cool during hot workouts, allowing sweat to evaporate quickly and preventing chafing.
On the other hand, a thicker lining can help insulate you against cold weather, keeping your muscles warm and preventing stiffness.
Leggings with a sewn-in gusset offer extra reinforcement and flexibility in the crotch area, preventing chafing and ensuring a comfortable fit. This feature is especially beneficial during high-intensity workouts or activities that require a wide range of motion.
Additionally, look for leggings with a sewn-in gusset, as this feature provides extra flexibility and prevents the fabric from bunching up or causing discomfort during your workout.

If you have a curvy shape or fall into the plus-size category, you may have some additional concerns when it comes to finding the perfect pair of leggings.
First off, it's essential to understand that having a curvy shape is not the same as being plus size.
Curvy shapes refer to having a well-defined waist and fuller hips and bust, while plus size typically refers to clothing sizes above a certain range.
However, many brands, like Revive Wear, offer inclusive sizing options that cater to both curvy and plus-size individuals.
If you have big thighs or are on the curvier side, look for leggings that offer ample stretch and support, such as the Flare Leggings.
High-waisted leggings with a wide waistband can help to smooth and flatter your shape while providing comfort during your workout.
Opt for moisture-wicking fabrics that will keep you dry and comfortable during your exercise routine.

About Us Check The Fabric Type Made For Leggings When choosing the right leggings for your workout, the fabric type plays a crucial role in ensuring comfort and durability during your exercise routine.

However, cotton also tends to shrink when washed, so make sure to wash them before wearing them.Spandex and Lycra are two other popular choices for workout leggings. They're both extremely stretchy, providing you with freedom of movement, which makes them perfect for high-intensity workouts. They also hug your curves and make you feel secure and supported.When it comes to fabric, there are a few things you should take into consideration.

Right Waist Height There are two types of leggings based on waist.One is high-waisted while the other one is mid-rise. The selection between the two depends upon the type of your physical exercises. Mid-rise leggings are more designed in terms of comfortability but they are inclined to fall easily when physical activities are done. In terms of physical activities, a high-waisted pair of pants is recommended. One note must be kept in mind that people also perform yoga by wearing their leggings. Pay Attention To The Lining When selecting leggings for your workout, it's important to pay attention to the lining. The last thing you want is a see-through legging that will leave you feeling exposed and uncomfortable.A breathable liner will keep you cool during hot workouts, while a thicker one will help insulate you against cold weather.

Activewear fabrics are designed to be breathable and moisture-wicking, so look for leggings made from materials like cotton, spandex, or polyester.

Plus Size Leggings If you have a curvy shape or fall into the plus-size category, choosing the right leggings for your workout can feel daunting. However, with the right tips, you can find leggings that not only fit well but also provide the support and comfort you need to crush your workouts. Curvy Shape vs. Plus Size.Firstly, it's essential to clarify that having a curvy shape does not necessarily mean you are plus size. Curvy shapes refer to having a defined waist and hips, while plus size typically refers to clothing sizes above a certain range. It's important to understand your body shape to find leggings that complement your curves.Choosing the Right Leggings.When selecting leggings for a curvy or plus-size body, opt for high-waisted designs with a wide waistband. These provide extra support and help to smooth out any areas you may feel conscious about. Look for leggings made from moisture-wicking fabric to keep you dry during intense workouts.Leggings for Big Thighs.If you have big thighs, consider leggings with a bit of stretch and a slightly looser fit around the thigh area. Avoid styles with tight elastic bands at the bottom, as these can dig into your skin and cause discomfort.Styling Tips.When wearing leggings as a curvy or plus-size individual, pair them with longer tops or tunics to create a balanced look. Layering with a jacket or a flowy top can help you feel more confident and stylish during your workouts.By following these tips, you can find the perfect pair of leggings that not only fit well but also make you feel comfortable and confident while tackling your fitness goals.
