Although there are many colors and prints to choose from, it's important to note the fabric varies depending on the pattern and color you choose. One is a polyester and spandex blend, and the other is polyamide and elastane. But, based on the reviews, there isn't a huge difference in performance and feel between the two.
What the reviews say: "These leggings are amazing, especially for the price. I bought them for the gym, but they have ended up being my go-to chore pants, perfect for lounging at home, walking the dogs, and the grocery store. The pockets look small but can absolutely fit a full-size phone/keys easily. The high waistband is my favorite part. It pulls off the perfect trick of not cutting into my stomach but keeping the pants solidly in place, even during squats. There is no Elastic band pinching at the waist. Everything lies very smooth on your body." - Ash

If you have TikTok, you've probably seen these "Lululemon dupes" all over your feed. Colorfulkoala is one of the most popular athletic wear brands on Amazon, and with almost 48,000 ratings, these are one of Amazon's most popular leggings.
These high-waisted leggings are known for their buttery soft fabric and gorgeous and vibrant color options. They're also great for working out or lounging with their skin-like feel and non-see-through fabric.
What the reviews say: "I have four pairs of these in different colors. I'm planning on buying more. These are so soft, thick enough that nothing shows through, great for running, rock climbing, napping, yoga, pretty much any scenario." - Amazon reviewer
3. CRZ Yoga Butterluxe High Waisted Lounge Legging
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
According to Amazon reviewers, if you're a fan of Lululemon's Align High-Rise Pant but don't want to spend a hefty price tag of $98, these CRZ Yoga high-waisted leggings are the perfect dupe. And with their breathable material, they're also great for yoga.
When it comes to shopping for yoga leggings, Blackwood advises choosing leggings with a stretchy fabric that moves with your body and allows for unrestricted movement in different poses. "High-waisted leggings can provide coverage and support during yoga practice, while soft and lightweight materials can enhance comfort during meditation and relaxation." These leggings are high-waisted and made from a polyamide lycra blend, so they happily tick both boxes.
Better still, you won't have to worry about the annoyance of constantly pulling your leggings up. According to glowing Amazon reviewers, these are 100% squat-proof and don't ride down.
What the reviews say: "Absolutely amazing. I haven't bought Lululemons since I stopped working there because they are so expensive, and I truly haven't found something to replace them until now! They are not compression leggings at all, so don't expect them to "suck" you in. These are literally yoga leggings and can be used at the gym for sure, but again, super flexible feel, no compression." - Amazon reviewer
4. Ewedoos Tummy Control High Waist Leggings

With 30,000 raving Amazon reviews, these Ewedoos high-waisted leggings are squat-proof, breathable, and importantly not see-through. Basically, they have all of the features you need from the best workout leggings. Many reviewers also sang the praises of the tummy control waistband which made them feel more confident post-surgery and after having a baby.
These Amazon leggings are made with a four-way stretchy fabric (75% polyester, 25% spandex, in case you were wondering) allowing you to comfortably complete leg day or run without feeling constrained. The two side pockets are perfect for storing your phone while the small, hidden top pocket is great for holding your earbuds or keys.
What the reviews say: "I bought these leggings three months after my c-section. They are high-wasted enough to go over my incision and suck everything in. The pockets on the sides are great for carrying your phone from room to room, especially always having a baby in hand. They aren't see-through and give just the right amount of compression." - Amazon reviewer

As someone who owns a pair of high-waisted ribbed leggings, I can attest they are great for wearing out casually with your favorite white trainers, to the gym, and for lounging around the house. And based on the 9,000 Amazon reviews, these leggings hug you in all the right places.
The Suuksess Ribbed Seamless leggings are made of nylon and spandex, which is great for elasticity, durableness, and comfortability. It's worth noting that these leggings run small - many reviewers advise sizing up.

Specifications

Reasons to avoid
Blackwood expresses how expensive doesn't necessarily mean better quality or better performance. "Some of the more affordable leggings on the market can be just as durable, comfortable, and functional as their high-end counterparts," Blackwood says.
The Gayhay Soft Opaque leggings are a perfect example of this. They are lightweight, breathable, have plenty of stretch, and aren't see-through. For less than $10 you can get the same buttery soft feel as the other leggings listed in this guide.
We rated these leggings the best budget pick for their cheap price tag, 11,371 five-star ratings, comfortableness, and large pattern selection. For everyday wear, you can't really go wrong.
What the reviews say: "These are definitely my favorite leggings. The fit is perfect, the softness is perfect, and I haven't noticed any sheer quality. These are so comfortable. I don't workout in them but I do a lot of walking in them and I don't have any rolling down at the waist or anything like that." - Amazon reviewer
8. CRZ Yoga Matte Faux Leather Leggings

And don't worry about sagging and baggy knees. Although these are stretchy, they stay put all day and hug your body without being too tight.
What the reviews say: "I honestly have no words for how great these are. I’ve been looking for a year to find shaping leather look leggings that complement the curves and make you feel comfortable and mobile! These are everything and more! I definitely recommend if you’re into your exercise or on-the-move lifestyle, or even going out with a bit of flare." - Annabelle
9. CompressionZ High Waisted Leggings
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Amazon is no stranger when it comes to the best plus size leggings. With brands like CompressionZ who stock an extensive size range of XS to 6XL, you're bound to find a pair that'll fit and flatter every curve.
These high-waisted leggings are made of a breathable compressive fabric that holds and snatches the body without the uncomfortable, constrained feel. Based on reviews, the leggings are soft and stretchy but contain a bit more spandex for compression. Once again, it's advised you size up in these leggings.
What the reviews say: "I usually wear a 2x but wanted to ensure that these weren't too snug since they are compression tights, and I am planning to wear them when I work out. After reading the reviews and noticing that they were made in China, I decided to size up and get a 4x, but I could have gone with a 2x or 3x so that the waist fit more snugly, but I absolutely love the print and the fit! It definitely camouflages any cellulite you may have, too, as the fabric is not sheer at all." - Amazon reviewer
10. Seasum High Waist Butt Lift Yoga Pants
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Thanks to TikTok, these cult-favorite leggings have become a favorite for many for their bum-shaping design that lifts and accentuates your butt and curves. With over 50,000 reviews, satisfied reviewers also describe them as extremely comfortable, and lightweight and praise their amazing stretch.
Although these leggings are cute enough to wear casually and are comfortable and supportive enough to wear to the gym, based on the reviews, these aren't 100% squat-proof. So if you're looking for something with more coverage that enhances your curves, we recommend CompressionZ's high-waisted leggings. But if you simply want a pair of butt-lifting leggings, these are your perfect match.
What the reviews say: "Sexy, comfy, and perfect." - Shellee
11. CRZ Yoga Naked Feeling Leggings
Specifications

If you're looking for the best leggings to hit the trail with, these naked-feeling leggings are an excellent option. They are lightweight, breathable, and can withstand any workout routine with a high waistband that doesn't budge.
Fitness trainer and founder of Feathers Food & Fitness, Arabella Featherstone, recommends breathable and lightweight materials when shopping for running leggings. "Leggings for running, or more high-intensity workouts will be lighter, as you're more likely to be sweating more," Featherstone tells us. "You want the right balance of thickness and lightness in leggings. You don't want them to be too thick so they feel hot and heavy during a squat session, but also not too light that they are see-through. "
CRZ Naked Feeling Leggings are made of polyamide and spandex. Polyamide fabric is great for being durable, breathable, and moisture-wicking, while spandex gives the leggings their stretch and flattering fit.
What the reviews say: "These hold it all in while still being comfortable. Not bulky or restrictive. I think they're the perfect workout leggings from low to high intensity and even to lounge in." - Aubrey

Carrying a baby for nine months isn't an easy task, so finding quality clothes that fit comfortably around the belly will make it that little bit more comfortable. With a breathable cotton material that's soft against the skin and 13% spandex for added stretch, these maternity leggings have over 16,000 five-star reviews. And the best part? You don't have to get a new pair after each trimester as these leggings stretch as the baby grows.
You can style them with a cute sports tank for an athletic look or dress them up with a nice blouse. The leggings even come cropped if you want a different look. Reviewers say it's worth adding both to your cart.
What the reviews say: I've ordered a few pairs of maternity leggings off Amazon. Some have the line for the extra belly fabric low and they sag down. These ones have the line perfectly placed. They are soft, comfy, and just fabulous. I work eight to 10 hours a day, and I'm never pulling them up. Don't think twice. Buy all the colors and buy them in crop too. I promise you will be so happy." - Suzanne

And judging by the 103,000 Amazon reviews, they're extremely soft, comfortable, and perfect for lounging and running errands.
What the reviews say: "These jogger-style leggings are the best of both worlds! I love a pair of tight leggings but also love comfy joggers. My issue with joggers is they usually make me feel too frumpy. These give the body-hugging fit of leggings with the comfort of joggers. The material is buttery soft and thin, but not too thin to be see-through" - Ali

No one likes toting a purse or bag around while working out. And yes, fanny packs are useful, but they can get in the way. That's why having a pair of leggings with pockets is worth every penny.

You can store your wallet in one pocket and your phone and keys in the other. Plus, these high-waisted leggings are super comfortable, have a breathable, thick material, and are 100% squat-proof (or so say so thousands of reviews!)
What the reviews say: These leggings have pockets on both legs. My keys go on one side and my phone on the other. The pockets are deep. No more fanny packs when I'm out taking long walks. The fabric is thick enough to keep everything in place, so much so that I forget I have anything in my pockets. - Amazon reviewer

What the reviews say: "After maternity leave, I needed to find new work pants that can help go over my mom's pouch. It has to be one of the best pairs of jeggings I've owned. The material is softer than denim but harder than actual leggings. It's stretchy and has functional back pockets. It even has belt loops, which is something my previous pants didn't have. They're comfortable and easy to move in." - Victoria
