No matter how impressive our workout wardrobe may be, we always have room for more leggings. Quite a few pairs have made it into our hall of fame through the years, but there’s no time like the present to treat yourself to another pair. We love leggings because they’re so versatile. An athleisure staple, leggings are perfect for workouts of course – but they’re also ideal for lounging, running errands, and working from home. What’s not to love?
We truly believe you can never have too many leggings. It stands to reason that your supersoft pair is the one you love to spend the day in, the sweat-wicking pair is what you always reach for before heading to indoor cycling classes, the squat-proof pair is what you rely for strength workouts, and the compressive pair is what you lean on to keep you supported through even the trickiest yoga inversions.
So while one pair can’t necessarily do everything, there are standout pairs in each style – namely, the 12 options we’ve named here as the best workout leggings on the market.
Whether you’re looking for the most comfortable leggings, the best crossover leggings, the best leggings for hiking, or the best yoga leggings, our shopping experts found the pairs you won’t want to take off. Of course, we also included the famous TikTok-approved leggings that’ll make your butt look great, which is always a winning feature. Now all you have to do is get moving and shop our picks for the absolute best workout leggings for women.
