You can get a near-identical dupe to the famous Lululemon Align leggings (opens in new tab) for a fraction of the cost with these leggings from Colorfulkoala. Made in over 15 different colors, these leggings feature a "buttery soft" material that reviewers rave about. They are thin, soft to the touch, and feature lightweight compression that's perfect for a yoga class or to lounge in. After some time, you'll forget that you even have leggings on.

With over 10,000 reviews, fans collectively agree that these leggings are super "flattering" and "buttery soft." They're comfortably high-waisted and hit right at the ankles. For those worried about the one-size option (there's also a plus-size option), one reviewer wrote, "The quality of these leggings exceed the price. I was worried about them being one size, but they fit me perfectly. All in all I'd say these are a steal for what you pay."

Just like TikTok blew up the butt-lifting leggings, the platform can also be credited with making the V-cross waistband a huge trend in leggings. The waistband on these leggings has a cross effect, which instantly makes your waist look snatched. Plus, your butt will look plump, as one reviewer called these leggings a "push-up bra for the booty." The matching cross hemline on the ankles is a cute detail, too. 

Pros: V-cross waistband and matching ankle hemlines; Squat-proof; Under $30. 

Cons: Reviewers note there are some disparities between colors; Only goes up to X-large.

Customer Review: "I own like 8 pairs of these at this point!!! I love love love these and will continue to BUY! GET THEM. Do not hesitate!"

While technically not leggings, these flair yoga pants feature the oh-so-trendy criss-cross waistband.

TikTok loves these leggings, which reviewers say have magical butt-lifting powers. They have over 50,000 five-star reviews, which all seem to confirm their lifting capabilities. The instant butt lift all comes from the leggings' ruched spandex material that provides a tightening and plumping effect. If you're still skeptical of these leggings, one reviewer wrote, "Even if you're a total flat pancake, these leggings will give you a nice little plump-up!" 

Pros: Under $30; Lifting effect; Sizes go from small to 4X large; Comes in over 50 colors in varying lengths.

Cons: Features a front seam; Not squat-proof (meaning they are not fully opaque when doing exercises). 

Customer Review: "These pants not only hide cellulite and imperfections, they make your bottom half look perfect to your partner. Ordered another pair, spouse wants me to order every color."

Sometimes you just gotta shine, right? American Apparel decided to take the classic black leggings up a notch by making them shiny. This shimmery pair of leggings works just as well paired with a black sports bra or a going-out top, so the styling possibilities are nearly endless. One reviewer even said, "I throw these on at least four times a week." If black is a tad too subdued for you, they also come in blue or red, so go all out!

Pros: Extra high-waisted; Very stretchy material. 

Cons: Over $30; Only goes up to X-large; Features a front seam.

Customer Review: "These leggings were EXACTLY what I was looking for. It's hard to find (at least for me) leggings that have the right gloss effect to them without looking like leather and this is it."  

When leather pants seem like too much work, turn to faux leather leggings. The style is perfect for when you want to go out with your friends at night but still want to be comfy as hell. No one will be able to tell that this pair from Retro Gong isn't made from real leather! Instead, these leggings are made from nylon and spandex to create an extra soft and breathable fabric. They also feature an extra wide waistband for tummy control, so you won't have to worry about having that slice of cake for dessert. 

Pros: Stretchy, breathable material; Features wide, tummy-control waistband; Sizes range from X-small to 4X-large.

Cons: Over $30. 

Customer Review: "Buy these! They are SO comfortable. I wear them all the time (so much I’ve already purchased a second pair). Seriously though, you can dress these up or wear them with a sweatshirt. I’ve even worked out in them!" 

From a sweat sesh at the gym to an outdoor workout in the sun, this legging, with breathable mesh, is a great choice. The mesh panels are not only super trendy, but they are an ideal pick for when temps start to rise. The quick-dry, moisture-wicking style will keep you cool, while the high waist tummy control will allow you to feel supported. Over 2,000 Amazon shoppers gave this pair a five-star rating, with many users raving about the fun mesh style. 

Pros: Has pockets; Moisture-wicking fabric; Under $30. 

Cons: Only goes up to X-large.

Customer Review: "They are super cute, lightweight, breathable, and the pockets are durable for what I use them for. I live in Texas so I'm always looking for lightweight leggings that I can wear in this heat and I haven't had any issues thus far."  

If the whole mesh-panel thing isn't your vibe but you still want to show a little skin at the gym or on your evening, why not try this pair from Redqenting that is covered in tiny slash marks? These leggings will keep you cool during a sweaty gym sesh, but will also cover you up a bit more than mesh panels. They also feature subtle contouring marks to give you an extra flattering shape, which may be one of the reasons why this pair has over 4,000 five-star reviews. 

Pros: Seamless material; Breathable; Under $30; Features contour shadowing for a flattering shape; High compression.

Cons: Lighter colors are not squat-proof; Only goes up to X-large.

Customer Review: "If these had pockets I would buy every color and multiples of each one. The comfort is awesome and they also hold things in and up! It accentuates the booty so if you have a good one just know it will look even better!"

One consistent piece of feedback for these leggings? Their magical abilities to "remove bloat" and "suck the belly in" without causing pain or discomfort. They're recommended for curvy women and/or postpartum women who seek a thicker pair of leggings with compression and breathability. The rise is sky-high, reaching higher than the belly button so they would work great as a shaping layer underneath a long dress. Plus, they come in 10 different colors and reviewers say they hold up great in the wash.

Pros: Extra high-waisted; High compression; Tummy-control waistband; Under $30.

Cons: Sizes only come in small to X-large; Lighter colors are not squat-proof.

Customer Review: "These are the first leggings that I’ve felt good in, they are a little sheer, and they’re a little too long for me, I’m 5’7 and a half, and I have to pull them up a little high, but it’s doable, they compress the tummy good, I just had a baby exactly two months ago, and I think I look great."

These bottoms have the feel and fit of your favorite yoga pants, but are more suitable for layering under an oversize cardigan or flannel shirt. They're are made from a polyester-blend fabric and are said to "gently caress your lower half like a second skin." Because they're not super thick, you can even layer these under looser-fitting sweats for winter. For mamas-to-be, these leggings will also work for your bump, as they're amazingly stretchy and soft.

Pros: Buttery soft material; Stretchy enough for baby bumps; Comes in multi-packs. 

Cons: Pills with wear; Offers light compression; Features a front seam. 

Customer Review: "For the price of these, they are SO worth it. They’re not the best leggings I’ve ever had, but definitely for the price they are amazing! SO comfy. They’re not super thick, but don’t show any dimples either."

These everyday leggings are made from a heavy fabric to prevent any visible underwear lines and will keep you warm once the fall weather arrives. The quality of the leggings might vary from pair to pair, as some found the color to fade after a few washes while others reported that it's the best pair of leggings they've found so far. At $17, they're worth a shot if you're in need of a pair of leggings fast. 

Pros: Soft and stretchy material; Under $30. 

Cons: Mid-rise; Not long enough for those over 5'5".

Customer Review: "These are the most comfortable and flattering leggings. Not sheer, good support, love the fabric.
Highly recommend."

If you have an athletic build, you'll want these leggings. A consistent theme in reviews is that they're perfect for those with an athletic build or "booty." These leggings pass the "bend over" test, a.k.a. they're not see-through; they're suitable for winter (when that time comes around again); and they feature a nice little pocket for your phone. As one fan noted, the leggings were even "durable enough for my three year old to casually wipe his snotty nose on."

Pros: Has pockets; Comes in over 35 colors; Wide tummy-control waistband; Sizes range from X-small to 2X-large; Under $30.

Cons: Reviewers say there are some disparities between colors.

Customer Review: "These leggings are amazing, they are squat approved, their buttery soft and the fabric is perfect not too thin and not too thick..they also give a good hold if that's what you're looking for." 

The look of denim, but the feel and comfort of leggings. This pair of bottoms might replace your favorite skinnies. Reviewers noted that the material is thinner than jeans, which makes sense because they're not denim (the leggings are made of cotton, polyester, and spandex), and they don't pinch or bind you in. Of the 3,700+ mostly positive reviews, this one is all you need to read: "I accidentally fell asleep on the couch in these. I slept all night, very comfortably."

Pros: Under $20; Has pockets; Denim-like look; Stretchy soft material. 

Cons: Mid-rise; May be too long on those under 5'4".

Customer Review: "Exactly as described the perfect jean leggings! I want more colors now. I love how they have back pockets like real jeans do. I'll definitely be getting more of these, super soft and comfortable." 

According to its 6,000-plus reviews, there are a mix of pros and cons to these leggings. First, the pros: they're affordable (prices range from $18 and up depending on the color you choose), comfortable, and stretchy. Also, fitness bloggers like Whitney Simmons have raved about them. Cons: the sizing/fit seems to vary and there's debate over whether or not they're squat proof. Based on the price and overall reviews, however, it's still worth trying—and if they're not completely squat-proof, at least they'll make for good lounge pants.

Pros: Hidden pocket in waistband; Under $30; Tummy-control wide waistband; Comes in over 35 colors; Sizes range from X-small to 3X-large.

Cons: Lighter colors not squat-proof; Sizing varies; Offers light compression.

Customer Review: "These leggings are perfect. I’ve had them for three years, the quality is very good. No tears and they still look new. They are high waisted but not excessively." 

Leggings may not be your first choice when temperatures start to drop, but rest assured that you still have options. Available in a slew of colors, these fleece-lined leggings will keep you warm for chilly morning or evening workouts. The high-waisted style is super-soft and breathable, so you can continue your outdoor activities comfortably when the temperature starts to dip. While some reviews say this pair isn't heavy enough for snowy weather, other reviewers say they make the perfect layer under pants. 

Pros: Fleeced-lined; Comes in multi-packs; Comes in over 15 colors. 

Cons: Only available in two sizes; Pills quickly. 

Customer Review: "I got the large and they fit great, I’m a size 10. Great for walking in cold, windy weather, haven’t tested when it’s snowing. Wear alone, or thin enough for layering under pants. Not bad for the price—they don’t feel flimsy or cheap."

If you’re looking for a pair of leggings for a more high-intensity workout, take a look at these high-waisted leggings with a wide-waist elastic waistband that provides tummy control. This pair, which is the #1 Best Seller in Women's Running Pants, features a breathable and moisture-wicking material that provides compression and support.

Customer Review: "My gut is sucked in and the high waist is super Post-menopause friendly! I’ll admit, these could be a tad longer in the leg but it isn’t a deal-breaker! The fabric is thick and opaque so you can keep transparency for your personality rather than what you’re wearing! And these have pockets!! Holy Cannoli! Pockets!"

Sometimes we can't be bothered to put on real pants and when that's the case, ponte leggings come to the rescue.
