The best leggings at every price point: high, mid, and budget favorites
When it comes to leggings, not all pairs are created equal. Whether you are looking for something that holds up through intense workouts, looks polished for errands, or feels good lounging at home, there’s a perfect pair out there for every budget. I’ve rounded up my tried and true favorites across three price points: high, medium, and low, so you can find your next go-to pair no matter what you’re willing to spend.
High-end favorites ($90+)
For the ones that feel like a second skin and last for years. These are the investment leggings worth every penny.
High End Favorites
These Lululemon leggings are definitely an investment, but are worth every penny. These three styles are high-waisted, have pockets, and never move when you are running or doing a high-intensity workout. These are the three styles I recommend:
Mid-range picks ($50-$90)
The perfect balance of comfort, style, and performance without the luxury price tag.
Mid-Range Picks
If you’re looking for a style that is not as expensive and more mid-rise than high-rise, then you need to check out Athleta. Their leggings also come fleece-lined for those cold morning runs! These are the styles I would recommend:
Rainer Fleece Lined Leggings (watch for these to go on sale!)
Budget-friendly finds (under $50)
Affordable doesn’t have to mean low quality! These pairs deliver great fit and feel for less.
The ultimate test for a pair of leggings is whether or not they can withstand a marathon. And I can confidently say the CRZ Yoga leggings from Amazon can most definitely withstand a marathon. I wore this exact pair for 26.2 miles, and they never moved!
A new brand to me and a new pair of budget-friendly leggings I have added to my rotation are these leggings from Halara. The material is a little softer than the CRZ Yoga leggings, they are more high-waisted, and there is no front seam on the Halara leggings.
Whether you’re splurging or saving, the right leggings can make all the difference in how you feel and move. Each of these options has been tested and loved for fit, comfort, and performance, so you can shop with confidence at any price point.
