The Best Leggings for Workouts and Casual Wear
I need one in every color.
I don’t know about you, but when it comes to shopping for clothes, you can never have enough leggings.
Personally, I wear them like jeans. They’re my everyday wear for bottoms and sometimes I end up dressing them up for a night out.
When I shop for leggings, I look for style but pockets are a must now! This is necessary especially if I am wearing them to go out. The pockets just come in hand. I prefer 7/8 length and high-waisted. I love the buttery feeling of leggings but it’s not necessarily a must as sometimes, I like the material to be thicker and sturdier for colder weather or more intense workouts.
Below, you’ll see my favorite leggings that I wear to work, to go out with friends during the day or night, and of course, to the gym.
1) Colorfulkoala Women’s High Waisted Yoga Pants 7/8 Length Leggings with Pockets
This brand on Amazon is my favorite. The buttery and stretchy material hugs your legs just right and compliments the shape of your legs. They come with pockets that you can use for your phone, AirPods, keys, hair ties, and more. I normally wear these out and about because they are that flattering. However, I have worn them in the gym to do squats and lunges and they feel so flexible plus the way my legs look in them gives me a nice boost of motivation. I’ve had them for a while and they don’t get worn out after washing them.
2) Colorfulkoala Women’s Buttery Soft High Waisted Yoga Pants Full-Length Leggings
Another pair of leggings from the same brand are these soft high-waisted yoga pants. Although they do not come with pockets, the silky material totally makes up for it. I have them in a few colors-no shame-and love dressing up the black ones. They honestly feel like you’re walking naked because they are so lightweight and buttery. I have also worn them during my workouts and because of their lightweight material, these leggings are comfortable to work out in. You can machine wash and dry and they will still stay like brand new.
3) Colorfulkoala Women’s High Waisted Joggers with Pockets Full Length Sweatpants & Lounge Pants
Yes these are joggers, not leggings, but they still do the job. I have four pairs and love wearing them casually and during my workouts. They are so comfy and are not as thick as other joggers because they come with the same silky, light-weight material that the leggings do from the same brand. Although they are joggers, they are still fitting and complement the shape of your legs. The only downfall I’ve had with these joggers is you have to steam or iron them often.
4) Fabletics Oasis PureLuxe High-Waisted 7/8 Legging
Outside of Amazon, my number one activewear brand is Fabletics. I have a variety of their leggings but these are similar to the ones previously mentioned. I love how they fit me with the soft, smooth material and with pockets. They are so easy to wear casually and supportive during workouts. They come out like brand new after washing them, too. In my opinion, these are the ultimate competitor to Lululemon because of the same, quality material for way less bucks coming out of your pocket.
5) Fabletics On-The-Go PowerHold® High-Waisted Legging
Remember when I mentioned how sometimes I like thicker and sturdier leggings? If I am looking for that type of legging, I go for these PowerHold High-Waisted leggings from Fabletics. You will feel set for the day with this pair because of their thicker material and pockets. If they are the perfect fit for a busy day, then imagine how they feel at the gym? From body weight workouts to weight lifting to high-intensity, these are your go-to for support in your workouts.
