These are hands-down the best workout leggings in my personal lineup. They do to your entire lower half what Lululemon leggings do to your butt. They keep you feeling fully snatched, with zero knee-pit chafing, and the butt seams frame your booty – I cannot stress this enough – perfectly.

These leggings have a cult-following among influencers and fashion editors (including me) – and not just because they look hella cute in pics. They’ve got 4 stars, thanks to their durability and stretch. They’re perfect for active workouts. 

These vibrant tights boast 3,202 5-star reviews (and counting). Wearers say they’re buttery soft, super smoothing, and can even take on a half-marathon. Plus, the Elation Tight comes in both straight and plus sizes. Though one review calls them “better than my Lululemons,” you can nab these babies for like a third of the cost.

Our friends at Elle have already given American Eagle leggings their stamp of approval, calling AE’s designs “better than most sports brands.” They offer the perfect combination of durable, stretchy, supportive, and affordable.  

Fans of Lululemon’s Wunder Under leggings, listen up. These tights look and feel just like them. They’re super touchable and stay up, even through a heavy-duty workout. 

You usually go to Express for their blazers and Going Out Tops, but they actually have a fantastic range of leggins. These classic cotton pants are crazy comfortable (for lounging, not for *actual* workouts) and will never give you see-through-butt. Even with an $30 price tag, these babies will last you years. 

These workout leggings “stay put during high-intensity workouts,” and are “really comfortable and flattering.” And did I mention they’re LEOPARD PRINT? Because yeah, they are.

The internet is obsessed with these leggings. Right now, you can shop them in plus and straight sizes for under $25. 

Don’t let the pricetag scare you, Bandier has legions of loyal followers who swear by their workout gear. The silky-smooth Center Stage Leggings offer enough compression for a multi-mile run, but somehow still make your butt look bomb. If the metallic pink tint freaks you out, you can shop these bestsellers in 10 different colors. 

Fans call this one the “holy grail legging.” Even without the 5-star rating, these pants are worth it for the design alone. The jewel tone hues add a dose of fashion, while the seams make your butt look like a 10/10. 

These leggings are a streetwear favorite. Out of 523 reviews, these bad boys boast a 4.5-star rating. Satisfied customers say they do double duty – perfect for the gym or daywear. 

Because of Gymshark’s two-tone detailing, your butt will truly never look better. On top of that, they’re sweat-resistant, and comfortable enough for several hours of veg-out time after your workout. 

Multiple reviewers report that they “live in these” Torrid leggings – that’s how good they are. If you need more proof, just scroll through the reviews and look at all the super positive reviews.

Lorna Jane‘s tights come with a triple-digit price tag, but can be worn to the gym, class, and beyond. They’re comfortable enough for 8-hour stretches on your couch or a hardcore fitness routine. Plus, the high-rise waistband really smooths and synches. 

The Pro Tights are Nike’s best-selling workout legging – and that’s saying something. They’re breathable, offer great compression, and give you Lululemon levels of butt framing.

These leggings (which come in five different colors, FYI) are Beyond Yoga’s number one seller. They’ve got almost exclusively 5-star ratings that all say something along the lines of: “these leggings are the softest and most comfortable leggings I own.”

On top of the cute print, these leggings are lightweight and won’t ride up. Plus the smooth-fit tummy panel makes for comfortable compression. 

These 4-star leggings hit at your true waist and the fit is just as flattering as your favorite Lululemon leggings. Stretchy, comfortable fabric makes for a top-level workout.
