Every closet needs at least one pair of leggings. Leggings are a huge part of my wardrobe because they are an item that can be easily dressed up and easily dressed down or even worn for layering. Here is a list of some of my favorite pairs along with links and prices!

 

1. Lululemon Fast & Free 7/8 Tight II $128

These have been by far my favorite leggings ever. They are absolutely comfortable and made for running. They are made with Nulux fabric, which is quick-drying and sweat-wicking. They are thin but provide coverage for the cold days when you need to walk around. I have so many colors because they are so great, especially for exercising at the gym or just for everyday wear. They even have small reflective dots that shine-bright on the ends of the pant. Another feature that made these my favorite ever is the side pockets! These pants are great for traveling because you could easily slip your phone into your pocket without having to worry about losing it.

2. Lululemon Align Pant II $98

These leggings are so thin and so soft that sometimes you think you’re not even wearing pants! They are lightweight and high rise with a buttery-soft feel on your skin from the Nulu fabric that also wicks sweat and has a four-way stretch. The feel of these leggings is why I have so many different colors (favorite being my blue pair)! Normally, I wear these with an oversized hoodie or a long sleeve and some white sneakers. They are great for when you need to throw something on real quick.

3. Athleta Salutation Stash Pocket 7/8 Tight in Powervita $89

These leggings are also so great because of the side pockets—who doesn’t love pockets?! They are slightly compressive but have a soft feeling to them because of the Nylon and Lycra material they are made out of. They are high waisted so great for yoga or everyday wear!

I have invested in these leggings and basically wear them whenever I can because they are so great. They are also so comfortable that I always look forward to wearing them and telling others how amazing they feel. Although these leggings are more on the pricey side, they are well worth your money!
