For me, leggings have always been the holy grail of comfort, style, and practicality…. especially when they can transition between workout and the day ahead. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time testing out different lines + styles over the past several years, and have come to find the five brands (and styles within those brands) that work for me time and time again. And since I am frequently asked about my favorite leggings, I thought I would round them all up for you today….
1. Beyond Yoga: This line has been a favorite for several years. I bought my first pair right after I had Harper. The fit is always amazing, and they feel like butter on the skin. I wear them for all workouts (as well as out and about). My favorite from their line is this grey pair (I’ve had it for 3 years)… and recently got the maternity version (which I highly recommend).
2. ALO Yoga: I’d say this is my favorite legging line… they aren’t cheap, but they’re very well made, hug in all the right places, and fit so well. I’ve never put on a pair that I didn’t love…. they come in a variety of color options, so if you’re looking for something other than black, they’re a great choice. My favorite designs, that I personally own and love, from their line include the airlift capri legging (the pair I’m wearing today… I own in cranberry, black, and gravel….), coast capris which I’ve had for two years (love the mesh detailing… own in white + smokey quartz…. but there are so many options), and the moto leggings which I’ve also had for two years (I own in gravel). This distressed pair is another favorite, and no, any extra leg skin doesn’t pop through (that was my main concern before I purchased them)… I actually just wore them yesterday to spin class. I probably would reserve these leggings for yoga + walks… since they show sweat marks.
3. Zella Leggings: I’ve been wearing Zella leggings ever since they stepped on the scene, about 9 years ago (maybe more, but that’s as far back as I can remember….). I do have a trial and error process with their leggings… some don’t look right and sometimes the sizes are off… but for the most part I am always happy with my Zella purchases. My most worn pair, that I’ve had for four years, are their basic live-in leggings. These are an excellent option for black leggings…. well made (obviously if I’ve had them for four years), fit just right, and great price point. I’ve been known to wear these working out + just in everyday life. They also come in a cropped option. I recently purchased this high waisted legging in the burgundy crush color…. super soft and fit amazingly well. I’ve worn them for workouts, and lived in them the weekend we moved.
4. Onzie: I own several pairs from this line…. and they’re great for fun prints. They fit well (I recommend sizing down in some styles…. they often come in the XS, S/M, M/L sizes so if you’re in between size down) and are great material. Most I’ve had for over two years. My favorites include this leopard pair, camo option (more sizes), and this black mesh pair.
