If the past year has taught us anything, athleisure is more than just a state of mind. It’s a lifestyle. As I put my favorite clothes on the bench during the early stages of my forties, I brought a slew of new clothing players to my list. Fairly quickly, my mission was to find the sweatshirt, the sweatpants and most important of all: the leggings.
When it comes to leggings, I tend to be a bit of a serial date. My bank account may hate me, but when it comes to convenience, I buy and try anything. The right pair of leggings compliments you at any time of the day, can hold up through the toughest times. Netflix binge-watches workouts and are so comfortable that the thought of putting on real pants makes you nauseous. My quest for the perfect pair was not in vain, as I found the best 18 pairs of leggings sold on Amazon. So whether you need a high waisted or a seamless pair, I have the pair for you. Shop our selection of the best leggings to come.
