Why is it so tricky to find a great pair of leggings? All you want is a perfect fit, a lean line, great fabric, your favorite leg-length, the ideal rise, cute colors and unshakeable staying power.... Okay, that is kind of a long list. Which is why we're so happy to present the array below.
Scroll to meet ten epic options beloved by Amazon shoppers and Yahoo editors alike. These fan favorites are incredibly soft and squat-proof. They're available in a broad, inclusive range of sizes. And they're cut to flatter, whether you like a classic cut, capri length or flare leg.
These leggings are high-waisted for tummy control and come in "one size" and "one size plus," with two dozen colors and prints to choose from.
Meet the most popular leggings on Amazon. Made of a super-soft “buttery” fabric that's thick and opaque, Satina High-Waisted Leggings flatter all body types, according to reviewers. They're available in one-size/plus and one-size/regular. And at 15 bucks, they're priced to move.
Reports one Amazon customer: "I'm usually extremely skeptical buying clothing from Amazon because the pictures almost never match what you order. I'm thicker at about 180 lbs and I ordered the one-size/plus or extra large. The material is SO SOFT and its elasticity is perfect. Buy these."
It's hard to improve upon a pair with pockets, but these these high-rated leggings are also fleece lined, so they can keep yourself cozy when the temperatures drop. And for now? Well, wear them to really get a sweat on during your next workout.
Nearly 4,000 people blessed these leggings with a 5-star rating. One reviewer noted that she'd basically live in these pants. "They are super flattering! I like how they make my butt look," she said in her review. "They are nice and warm, but not too warm. They hold everything in well, but aren’t tight and uncomfortable at the waist like some other leggings I have. I basically want to wear them every day."
And ps, this pair is more than half off right now!
What's better than one pair of leggings? A multipack at the same price (or cheaper)! The Syrinx brand offers different sets of quality leggings in an assortment of fun colors and prints, from basic neutrals to exotic leopard and sporty camouflage.
Many of the reviews say that not only are these high-waisted leggings extremely flattering, but they're also super soft. "These are so buttery soft and comfortable," one reviewer shared. "I am able to dress them up or keep them casual. Definitely will be buying more."
Others praised the leggings for being non-sheer and quite sturdy for the price. "Completely opaque, great for work," said one reviewer. Another even dubbed them "the best leggings I've ever worn."
Looking for leggings with that barely-there feel? CRZ Yoga has you covered (comfortably, of course)! The brand's answer to the perfect leggings are these seamless buttery pants. Available in 40 different colors, they can meet a multitude of wardrobe needs. Stretchy with gentle compression, the deliver the perfect amount of shaping.
Reviewers confirmed that these leggings live up to the hype. "I ordered these in a size L after a blogger called them lulu dupes," shared one reviewer. "They are well made and fit perfect."
Another echoed the quality of the fabric and the fit. "This material is AMAZING. It’s light weight, perfect for traveling AND warm/hot weather," a reviewer shared. "Fits like a glove. Smooth, flattering and the color is dreamy. I’ll definitely be getting more of these."
If what you need is an assortment of leggings, look no further. The Hi Clasmix brand offers several different types in one package, at amazing prices. You can get a pair of full-length leggings with a pair of capris for just $15! Or you can stock up on a five-pair set of classic black leggings (you know you need them!) so you always have one on hand for yoga or the gym.
Many reviewers were stunned at how similar these affordable leggings are to expensive designer options. "They’re made of a soft material which is definitely similar to my lululemon leggings. I’m shocked," a reviewer said. "They’re thin leggings, so not exactly suitable for the cold. However, don’t let the thinness fool you — these babies are squat-proof and not at all see-through!"
The super-popular Colorfulkoala leggings boast a seamless high waist that supports you without digging in. Made with special Flatlock construction for almost no bulk, these leggings are lightweight and moisture-wicking. The fit is phenomenal, thanks to dreamy four-way stretch. Bottom line: there's support, but you feel like you're wearing nothing.
"They are not kidding when they say these are buttery soft ... these are the smoothest leggings I have ever worn," raved one shopper. "They also hide my cellulite pretty well. I love them so much; I am going to buy two more in different colors!"
These leggings went viral on TikTok for what they can do for your rear end. But they don't rely on padding to make your bum look great. Instead, they utilize a ruched stretchy panel in the back, which gives you lift, definition and contouring. The fabric smoothes over any cellulite and the waistband dips to create a flattering line. Did we mention some styles are only $17 right now?
"I became curious about these after I saw them go viral on TikTok, so I bought a pair. They are very comfortable and now my favorite pair of leggings! I highly recommend these," wrote one reviewer.
These are a shorter version of the aforementioned Colorfulkoalas, but they definitely don't skimp on quality. Choose from 24 colors, in sizes XS to XL.
"These pants are great, so happy they finally came out with capri length," wrote one thrilled customer. "They pass the squat test very well and are so comfy. They look tiny when you take them out of the package, but try them on; you'll be pleasantly surprised!"
This fit-and-flare silhouette looks great on any body type. We love the high, wide elastic waist, incredibly soft fabric and slimming shape. The only thing that gives us pause? Which of the 16 styles to choose!
"They are super comfy, stretchy and fit just as I expected," reports one devotee. "I’m 5’3” and they are long, but that’s expected with my height. They are not see-through, so good for bending or daily wear, unlike some legging-type jeans. Got them in other colors, and they’re cute!"
Last, but certainly not least, we have these chic capri leggings from The Gym People. Beloved by more than 30,000 shoppers, they provide tummy-control with their high, comfy waistband. Pockets let you stash a car key while you're putting in steps on the treadmill.
One excited shopper dubbed these "the perfect workout leggings.... I love these! I bought two pairs and will be buying more. They fit exactly how I wanted. They are great for working out, they stay in place, don’t slide down or ride up. They’re also very flattering!"
