The best gym leggings for every type of workout
Nothing can spoil your workout more than a pair of ill-fitting leggings.
Whether they slide down, split or fail to absorb sweat, it’s always deflating when a pricey pair of gym leggings fall short when put to the test.
So, whether you’re a regular gym goer, runner or have plans to kick start a new routine after Christmas, we’ve rounded up some of the best gym leggings for every workout.
Just don’t blame us if you end up buying every single one of them.
Pokita Star Print Leggings, £55
Eco-friendly tennis, active and yoga wear brand Pokita have created these stylish yet practical leggings which are perfect for every workout.
The brainchild of close friends Hannah Younis and Amy Kenworthy, they developed Pokita in lockdown when they recognised a gap in the market for vibrant yet ethically made tennis wear in a wide range of sizes.
Using sustainable fabrics and chic designs, these leggings are super comfy and come with a handy side pocket for carrying your phone. They’re also super flattering when it comes to contouring your curves.
Silverwind Nirvana Leggings, £52
These meaningfully-designed sustainable leggings were inspired by the story of Noah’s Ark in the Bible, where the dove held a green olive branch and the earth returned to peace.
The patterns are a combination of an olive branch and maple poplar to represent lushness and liveliness, while the quaint earthy hue is adopted to create a sense of purity and peace.
Made from a lightweight fabric that supports and flatters any body type, these form-fitting leggings are eye-catching with a bohemian vibe that’s right on cue for 2023.
Pretty Polly Capri Leggings, £30
Cult legwear brand Pretty Polly has recently introduced activewear into their range, including sleek leggings which are ideal for your yoga workouts.
Predominantly made from recycled yarn, its seamless style features a patterned mesh panel detail at the bottom of the leg for added breathability.
These are best for low impact exercise and easy on the eye too.
MP Women’s Tempo Legging, £43
Seamlessly constructed with soft touch fabric, these stylish and feminine leggings provide unrivalled comfort which is perfect for long runs and sweaty workouts.
Combining a supportive and body complementing high waist, plus sweat wicking and quick-drying fabric, these leggings have it all.
They’re also made with 83 per cent Repreve® fibres created from recycled plastic bottles, making them more sustainable than your average legging too.
WIT-Fitness High Rise Leggings, £65
Made from buttery soft moisture wicking fabric that features recycled polyester, these high-rise 7/8 leggings have been designed with comfort in mind.
Ideal for gymnastics, yoga, recovery and all-day wear, these breathable leggings combine comfort, style and practicality in one – all the while being completely squat proof.
True to size and they don’t dig in while sitting down either.
