You can read more about how we test leggings at the end of this article. In our recent leggings testing, we tested over 36 different styles of leggings, leading to over 1,080 data points to analyze. We evaluate them using Lab equipment and seek real consumer testers' feedback to get a comprehensive view of each pair's performance.
The Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab tests leggings of all kinds from plain black leggings to workout leggings with pockets, plus-size leggings, fleece-lined leggings and much more. GH fiber scientists explain the difference between every option, so you can pick out your best pair of leggings. Whether you are heading to a fitness class, working out at the gym or running (or even just running errands), Lululemon offers excellent leggings for every fitness routine. The brand's signature Align leggings are especially popular, but Lululemon has a ton of different styles and materials to choose from, including soft, lightweight styles for yoga and sleek, compressive tights to wear during high-impact exercise. Lululemon is one of the most popular fitness brands for workout pants. We revised this guide with current information and updated picks in May 2023.
