Top 10 Workout Leggings

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT
If you're reading this list, then you've most likely heard of Aligns. Loved for their weightless, buttery soft fabric, they're basically the next best thing to wearing nothing at all.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
These leggings come in tons of beautiful color options, and there's no need to worry about opacity—the white and light shades are double lined for extra security.

WHAT TO KNOW
Athletic leggings should feel like a second skin; that’s the standard to reach for if you want to train at your best. The Naked Feeling High-Waisted Workout Leggings are designed to give you just that sensation, and with 20,000+ 5-star reviews, we have a suspicion they live up to their promise.

PROMISING REVIEW
“I was VERY hesitant on buying these. I LOVE my lululemons, but I don’t want to spend $100 on each pair of leggings. I Googled best leggings and these came up; I really do love them. They are comfy, and I haven’t noticed any sheerness to them yet. I will be buying them in a couple other colors.”

WHAT TO KNOW
Midi-length leggings help you avoid the weird bunching that can happen around your ankles when they don’t fit right. That’s one of the things Beyond Yoga’s Caught in the Midi High Waist Leggings have going for them, and they’re also made from a quick-drying fabric that’s reinforced for extra support.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
These athletic leggings come in seven different colors, so you can bring some much-needed brightness to your gym or studio.

WHAT TO KNOW
Leggings that give your backside a lift—no exercise required. That should be Sweaty Betty’s Power Workout Leggings’ tagline, because they’re built to flatter with thoughtfully-placed seams and a high-rise waistband.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Workout leggings with pockets: one of modern life’s little luxuries. This pair has two pockets: one on the waistband (for your keys and headphones), and one on the right leg (for slipping your smartphone into). 

WHAT TO KNOW
The Wunder Train Leggings are pretty popular amongst lulu fans, with over 3,000 of them giving this style a perfect 5-star review. So, what’s all the hype about? These best-selling leggings are built for exercise, with a stretchy (yet supportive) structure and lulu’s fastest-drying fabric blend.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Oh, you thought we were done? Not yet, because these leggings have an adjustable drawcord waistband with a convenient hidden pocket.

WHAT TO KNOW
Yogis and gym rats alike can appreciate alo’s Airlift Leggings. They have chafe-preventing flatlock seams that will save your thighs from discomfort during an intense workout, and they also have a wide, high-rise waistband that won’t slip down during jogs.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Another thing that makes these some of the best gym leggings? Their moisture-wicking, antimicrobial fabric blend.

WHAT TO KNOW
Is it any surprise that Athleta makes some of the best workout leggings for women? They’ve been featured in our black leggings, fleece-lined leggings, and butt-lifting leggings lists, so it only makes sense that the Salutation Stash Tights earned their place near the top of this list.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
The Salutation Stash Tights are made with a nylon-lycra blend that is said to dry in a flash and provide UPF 50+. They have a high-rise waistband and a slightly compressive fit that makes them perfect for yoga practice, but based on the reviews, you might reach nirvana before you even unroll your mat.

DEFINING DETAILS
Made from an exclusive PowerSoft fabric, these leggings offer an unbeatable combination of softness and stretch. Simply put: They move with you, providing the flexibility you need for any activity while keeping you comfortably supported. 

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW
The high-waisted design offers extra coverage and a secure fit, so you can bend, stretch, and twist with confidence.

WHAT TO KNOW
Vuori has only been around for nine years or so, but they’ve made quite a name for themselves in the athleisure world. For instance, their Daily Leggings are gym-approved, but you might find yourself gravitating towards them even on rest days because of their airbrushed, smooth finish. 

PROMISING REVIEW
“Buy these! Very soft and stretchy, yet hella supportive. I have a hard time finding bottoms that are big enough through the legs and glutes while being small enough at the waist. These are perfect. Details are so cute. I’ve worn them for my traditional lifting days as well as my HIIT class days and they stayed in place like a dream.”

WHAT TO KNOW
Let’s be real: sustainability is hard to come by in an athletic wear brand. Girlfriend Collective is changing that, though, because their Compressive High-Rise Leggings are mostly made from recycled plastic bottles.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Designed for high-impact workouts, these athletic leggings are crafted from a sweat-wicking, squat-proof material.
