What is your favorite leggings for working out?

missvida58

I love the plain black high waist compression leggings from Old Navy. They are inexpensive and not at all see through. Their printed leggings tend to be see through, however. Lululemon high waisted are my ultimate favorites. I love the material and they feel so good on. I try to buy a couple pair every year as a treat, or beg for them for Christmas/birthday gifts. Once in a while I can find a nice pair at TJMaxx, not sure of the brands, but I've lucked out there as well.

It's Lululemon for me. One of the only brands out there that sells that 7/8 length (which is full-length for me without bunching at the ankles) and that still carries a medium rise that sits in a comfortable place on my abdomen. They are also more comfortable, flattering, and long-lasting for me personally than any of the other big brands I've tried (Nike, Underarmour, Athleta, VS Sport.) I do make an effort to buy from the "We Made Too Much" section instead of at full price, though.

I am SO SICK of ultra-high-waisted everything, because I'm short and short-torsoed and they all seem to come up to my bra band, which isn't comfortable or cute. It is getting very difficult to buy a pair of leggings that stops in the region of my navel and I can't find an inexpensive pair that sits right and doesn't fall down to save my life.

Athleta if I want to spend money, Old Navy if not. I will say all of my Old Navy ones fall apart after a while and Athleta ones last years.

Gymshark all the way. I was a die hard Nike leggings fan until I tried Gymshark and I found they suck me in and don't roll down...brilliant

I am kinda cheap but I have bought Ododos, Ruring, and Lapasa from Amazon and have found they work the best. I love my Under Armour ones but again I am kinda cheap. However the three brands mentioned above have been great. I am pretty obsessed with my Ruring ones because they are so soft (although a bit thick so they are my winter leggings). I have Old Navy but they are for the house and after wearing my other ones...they aren't as comfy!

I'm pretty cheap, too. I like the Xersion brand at JC Penney the most. High-waisted capris with pockets big enough to hold a phone and light compression to keep things from jiggling.

I generally just wear Fish Net Pantyhoes. Yes my junk tends to dangle down through the holes (especially during squats) but the feeling of the fresh air swishing around is very comfortable.

This is a 4 year old thread so I'm wondering what people's favorite leggings for working out is these days. I've actually never worn leggings but I'm considering trying them to see if I like them

When I was in weight loss phase, Viv Collection (available on Amazon or from their website) was very forgiving, soft, nice patterns, no see through, but absolutely zero compression. I still have them and use them as PJs now.

My go-to now is Yoga Democracy. Bright, great compression, don’t roll or slip down, use them for power yoga/weightlifting/running/walking/HIIT. I even use their bicycle shorts and some of the bra tops in leiu of swimsuits for aquafit. Made from recycled bottles and machine wash well (hang dry). Tbh I wish they’d fade or wear out so I’d have an excuse to order new patterns but they just don’t, and I’ve got some that have easily been washed 75+ times. No odor despite being well used.

I loved KDeer, but they just went out of business. You might be able to find some on Poshmark.

Ordered a couple of Niyama Soul to try out and hate them. Faded on first wash, not as colorful as on the website, don’t fit as well as Yoga Democracy.

Don’t care for Lulu leggings but I like the cool tanks because they fit tight and don’t flip around d during an energetic workout and stay in place for headstands etc. but they’re ridiculously expensive and start to stink.

I try to grab RBX tanks when I see them at TJ maxx, but the fit is hit or miss. I bought some small ones this weekend, and wore one to a hot class this morning. I was shocked to look down and see that the neckline had almost fallen below the sports bra top I was wearing.

I’m almost to the point of doing what the young chicks do and stripping to my sports bra, but that’s a mental leap over Miss Manners for someone my age.

PS: leggings were my reward to myself throughout weight loss and I consider myself an aficionado lol.

When you downsize from your leggings to a smaller size, consider gifting the old ones to someone on your friends list. 😘

Thanks @springerling62. Based on some other posts I've read of yours I do know you are very knowledgeable on leggings so I value your opinion. Most of my exercise up to now has been either walking or aqua aerobics and I just wore whatever for walking. Now I'm starting to do strength training 3 times a week and was thinking I might like the leggings. It seems almost everyone is wearing them these days. I definitely feel I want some compression to hold in the jiggles and loose skin. I have lost 90 lbs and need to lose about 20 more so I have a lot of jiggles right now.

May work for guys, but in the words of the Joe Jackson song,”it’s different for girls”. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You guys just need a hammock.

Us girls have to worry about camel toes, see through butts, rolling waistbands, high waisted versus hip height, thighs or calves that won’t squeeze in some brands, plus we have to consider value, since womens’ leggings prices are all over the place. And we also have to rope in the extra belly from birthing’ those babies.

Sometimes I envy men. My husband is perfectly happy with five pair of khakis and half a dozen polos in the same color. I would go barking mad without variety. (In clothes. Not husbands.)

I don't wear leggins. Never have. I usually wear something like yoga pants or other cotton/sweat fabric pants.

I use the TSLA brand (Amazon) for full length leggings and shorts (I think they are 7inch...biker-ish length shorts). They have shorter ones but I run so I don't want them moving and the shorter ones tend to travel north iykyk.

They seem to hold up pretty well. They stay up when I'm running...they are highwaisted and warm (the leggings). They also have pockets on the outside of both thighs so you can stash your stuff. Pretty affordable.
