Amazon makes it easy to discover new legging styles inspired by your favorite activewear brands. These pairs are often less expensive than fan favorites like Gymshark leggings or lululemon leggings, with many of the same key features. To find the best leggings on Amazon, we spoke with fitness trainers and other experts for their advice and shopping tips. We prioritized high-quality, sweat-wicking leggings made from performance materials, like nylon, Spandex, and polyester. We also broke down the physical and functional properties of different fabrics, finishes, and construction methods.
In addition, we've tested over 25 expert-approved Amazon leggings to date. We wear each pair for low-, medium-, and high-impact workouts, as well as during our daily routines. Often, we have two experts test each pair of leggings so we can assess how they fit and feel on a range of body types. We note how compressive the leggings are, whether they're opaque, and if the waistband sags or rolls down throughout the day. Our favorite pairs received high scores for material, opacity, fit, hold, durability, and value.
