Your workout legging buying guide: What to look for in a good pair

FYI, when you’re on the hunt for a new pair of workout leggings, it’s worth going for a pair that are:

  • sweat-wicking
  • non-see-through
  • supportive
  • designed for working out (cotton leggings won’t make the cut here).

That way, you can know you’re spending wisely and investing in leggings that won’t end up going to Oxfam a year later.

We’re aware that not everyone wants to drop hundreds on a pair, especially right now, so have ordered our recommendations from cheapest to priciest. Do bear in mind, generally speaking, that cheapest doesn’t necessarily mean best. Base your buy on your usage. After all, workout leggings are a bit like household appliances: if you’re using them often, it may be wiser to opt for a mid-range price point to guarantee you’ve made a good investment.

That being said, there are some great bargains to be had, too, which is why we’ve included a range of options, from the best cheap leggings to kit for those with a slightly higher budget, too.
