Product Information

The seams wrap around the body, so this pair provides a more flattering silhouette than many competing pairs that rely solely on stretch. Our testers enjoy these pants when they want to try their most challenging moves because of the second-skin fit, but there are better-shaping pants for casual wear and compression. Why they’re great: We found these leggings to be fine for workouts, and they actually became our go-to for casual everyday wear.

Katherine Gundling, a coach and programmer at ICE CrossFit NYC and Oculus CrossFit, says that they stand out among a sea of imitators: “They will last you years and stay in great condition. Since yoga is breath-centered, we appreciate how the waistband did not interfere with our deep ujjayi (victorious breathing). Tough pants are essential if you participate in friction-dependent activities like climbing, where your knees may scrape against rough rocks.I’ve pulled together useful information about each pattern like sizing, fabric requirements, and whether they’re beginner-friendly. Stretchy but supportive, these leggings have a high waist and seamless waistband to help keep you comfortable during your workouts. We tested for moisture management by pouring water droplets on the leggings and observing how they dried in the sun. The Airbrush also has an excellent crotch gusset, a feature between the legs that prevents camel toe and allows the pants to shape to the inner groin during movement.

At the same time, the leggings should be loose enough so that you can get them on and off easily and move freely. The Colorfuloala High Waisted Brushed is squat-proof (our underwear is red), though the thin material will show panty lines. The Alo Yoga High-Waist Airbrush leggings are stretchy and move well no matter what pose is up next. Many of today's yoga pant designs are constructed from lightweight fabrics that allow for maximum movement and flexibility. The high waist varies in rise according to size; for instance, size 2XS (6–8) has an 8-inch rise, while size M (18–20) has an 11½-inch rise.

Fabric: medium to heavy weight stretchy knit fabric with 8%+ elastane/lycra/spandex content, and at least 50% 4-way stretch. Being an excellent balance between comfort and style, they are a favorite for travel, a coffee date with friends, or yoga in the park; just plan to treat them a little bit more delicately. Based on our time spent in this pair—which replaces our previous Lululemon pick, the now-discontinued Wunder Under High-Rise Tight Full-On Luon—we think the hype is worth it.

Look for leggings with a draw waistband feature, or choose compression leggings, which have a snugger feel that may help to keep them in place. Keep in mind that Universal Standard’s sizing conversions don’t follow standard conventions: XS is equivalent to a size 10–12; M is akin to a size 18–20; L is equivalent to a size 22–24; and 4XL is akin to a size 38–40. They’re good for working out, but we think they’re truly ideal as a layering piece or a comfy alternative to pants. I donned them for strength workouts and felt free to squat, bend, stretch and jump to my heart’s content without a second thought. I narrowed down the field to 42 pairs and tried on each one, noting the quality, feel, and opacity of the fabric; general fit and comfort; performance while in motion; and overall first impressions.The Ododos Dual Pocket also impressed us, the soft fabric moving well against the skin even when the body was sweaty. Jessica Rahil, a yoga instructor and body-positivity advocate, says they’re hands down the best leggings she’s ever worn. Comfort is key when it comes to your yoga outfit, restrictive clothing will make some poses and flows difficult.
