The 4 Most Flattering, Comfortable Leggings. Period.
by The Candidly Team
We have tried…a lot of leggings. We are sent leggings, we buy leggings, we are essentially living in a perpetual sea of leggings.
Why?
Because we really want to be the brand that can tell you, us, the world, what the definitive best leggings are, period.
And we feel confident we are making good on that today.
We perused other legging lists out there, and most of them either felt sponsored or there were too many different categories and we got overwhelmed or they just weren’t cute. Because what’s the point of any of this if they’re not cute?
And so we found four, in four different categories, that we feel speak to every possible legging need.
Let’s begin.
1. The Best Overall Leggings
Spacedye Out Of Pocket High Waisted Midi Legging
We’ve been writing about these leggings for many years. Why? They are simply the best. The best fit, the most comfortable, the most flattering, the most durable wash after wash. We also love that they have various matching tops like THESE and THESE because nothing makes us feel more put together while still feeling comfy, than a set.
Pros: Softest fabric of all time, no camel toe, make your bod look incredible, amazing size range, pockets!
Cons: No inseam choice, pricey
Price: $99
2. The Best Affordable Leggings
HUE Women's Ultra Soft Cotton Leggings with Wide Waistband
We have tried them and they’re fantastic. And the over 10k over 4-star reviews agree with us. The wide waistband doesn’t flip, and the price is excellent.
Pros: So affordable you can buy multiple colors
Cons: We had to replace ours after a couple of years
Price: $23 - $53
3. The Best Flare Leggings
Athleta Elation Ultra High Rise Flare Pant
Thanks to Kendrick Lamar’s $1200 Celine jeans, flares are back. And while we typically don’t love to follow a trend, a flare-shaped pant has always been in our closets—and our hearts. Nothing makes your waist look smaller while popping that derrière. And these are unspeakably comfortable.
Pros: Amazing for long torsos, lengths for petite and tall, no C-toe to be found
Cons: Literally none
Price: $99
4. The Best alternative if leggings make you feel like you’re being squeezed to death
Cozy Earth Women's Bamboo Jogger Pant
The material is truly something you need to experience in person to believe. And they’re beyond comfortable and loose while still being easy to briskly walk or do yoga. Or just, you know, live in. We’ve been known to pair these with a loose blazer and loafers if we’re being completely honest with you.
Pros: Insane softness, comfort is out of this world
Cons: Often out of stock, pricey (though we asked the brand for a code and they said yes!)
