We stand by it when we said a well-designed pair of leggings has the power to boost confidence, enhance your body, and encourage a better sweat. When shopping for the workout essential that will deliver a snatched figure without sacrificing comfort, look for these features:
• High-rise waistline
• Compression fabric
• Minimal details (meaning avoid designs with bulky pockets or ruffles around the hip area, for example)
• Full-length vs. a cropped pair, which tends to look choppy rather than elongate your legs
• Solid colors—prints and patterns certainly contribute to a snazzy gym outfit, but they aren’t always the most flattering. Keep it simple with monochrome alternatives.
