Do you struggle with finding the perfect leggings for working out or lounging? Leggings are truly a girl’s best friend, so finding the perfect pair is so important. It took many tries to find my arsenal of leggings that I wear frequently and love. I’m going to share my favorite pairs of leggings for women, why I love them, price points, and everything else you need to know about them.
The Best Leggings for Women for All Occasions
Yogalicious Leggings
How do they fit? I wear a medium (TTS).
Comfort: These have extremely soft fabric and feel like butter.
Fabric: 83% Polyester, 17% Spandex
Are they see-through? No.
Stay up? Yes. I was honestly surprised with how soft these were that they stayed in place.
Keep you warm? These are not thick enough for cold weather. More appropriate for fall and spring.
Price: $25
Lululemon Align Leggings
How do they fit? I wear a size 6 (TTS). I am in the 25-inch length. For the taller gals, I would recommend the 28-inch legging linked here.

Fabric: Nulu™ fabric that is buttery soft, weightless, breathable, has four-way stretch, and sweat-wicking.
Are they see-through? No.
Stay up? Yes.
Keep you warm? These are not thick enough for cold weather. More appropriate for fall and spring.

Comfort: Offers compression, but with comfort and stretch.
Fabric: Power Flex Fabric (87% Nylon 13% Spandex)

Keep you warm? I would say these are thicker than the previous two leggings, so depending on the temperature could keep you warm enough.

Zella Live In High Waisted Leggings

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings
How do they fit? I sized up one size to a large as I felt that they ran small.
Comfort: These definitely suck you in, but when sizing up provide the perfect amount of compression. These have a “contoured power waistband that gives you a flat gut and great butt.” I wear these mainly for dressier occasions, not lounging around the house or workouts.
Fabric: Body: 87% Nylon, 13% Elastane with Polyurethane Coating. Lining: 80% Polyester, 20% Elastane.
Are they see-through? No.
Stay up? These stay in place and don’t fall or roll down.

Fabric: Made with the real me fabric that is designed to feel like the real you with soft support & a weightless touch.

Stay up? Yes, these stay in place for the most part. During yoga, they do have the occasional fold over during certain moves.
Keep you warm? No, these are not for cold weather.
