![]() ![]() Your leggings should be snug and supportive so you don't have to constantly adjust them while moving around. When shopping for workout leggings, you have a lot of factors to consider. What to Know About Buying Workout Leggings I also laundered the leggings three total times to look for signs of pilling and/or shrinkage, but while I measured the leggings before and after washing, none of them changed significantly in size so this wasn’t a factor in the final results. ![]() I poured a tablespoon of water on the fabric and watched how far the water spread from the initial point of contact (a sign of wicking) and timed how long it took to dry. I also wore each pair for one to two hours of light-to-moderate exercise, which involved mostly walking but also the occasional jogging, yoga, and weightlifting.Īfter washing each pair of leggings once, I also tested them for their moisture-wicking and drying capabilities. I wore each pair for one to two days of everyday life-i.e., working at my desk, running errands, and binge-watching Real Housewives reruns. Then, with the help of Reviewed’s senior scientist, Julia MacDougall, and our apparel expert, Jamie Ueda, I devised a rubric for judging the leggings. I chose 14 of the most popular pairs out there, based on customer reviews and ratings (and personal experience, of course). I started by doing what I do best: shopping. Who better than to test and rank the best options out there? The Tests I wear them all day, every day (and sometimes all night, every night), so it’s safe to say I’m a true leggings connoisseur. ![]() ![]() I own ones for working out, ones for teaching yoga, ones for practicing yoga, ones for lounging, and ones for all of the above. That is, I’m a firm believer that there’s no such thing as having too many pairs-which would explain why I currently have more than 40 of them neatly rolled up in my dresser. I’m Amanda Tarlton, the style editor at Reviewed, and I have a leggings problem. How We Tested Workout Leggings The Tester The leggings come in women’s sizes XS to XL with a 25- or 28-inch inseam and in 37 colors and patterns. This isn’t a deal breaker for me-and it may be something you could avoid with more careful washing-but it is something to consider. I own a couple of pairs, and after five washes or so, each had slight pilling around the ankles and inner thighs. The only negative thing I have to say about Colorfulkoala leggings is that they pill easily. Another perk is that I didn’t notice that odor that many leggings get in the crotch area when you sweat. The nylon/spandex material didn’t trap sweat against my body and it dried quickly so I didn’t leave my workout a soggy mess. I’m 5-foot-5 and the size small leggings I tested hit about a half-inch above my ankle-the ideal length for me. Best pocket yoga leggings skin#The leggings fit snug against my skin without bunching or feeling overly taut, and I never had to pull or adjust them no matter what I was doing, from yoga to weight lifting to getting up from the couch. The fabric is almost as buttery smooth as Lululemon’s offerings yet the Colorfulkoala ones come in at a quarter of the price. After wearing the brand’s 7/8-length yoga leggings for close to a year now, I understand the hype. Colorfulkoala is arguably the most popular Lululemon dupe out there, with 27,000+ reviews and a 4.4-star rating on Amazon. ![]()
