The Best Leggings on Amazon in 2025

You log onto Amazon to restock your skin care, home goods, and even groceries—why not add some activewear to your cart while you’re at it? The best leggings on Amazon come from some of the best legging brands, period—we’re looking at you, Peloton and Beyond Yoga. The mega retailer also carries some site-specific pairs that clock in well under $50 and, in this writer’s humble opinion, rival the Lululemons and Alos of the world. And, when Amazon Prime Day rolls around, there’s always a chance you can snag them at a nice markdown (with free shipping, to boot).

If you’re ready for an athleisure refresh (or just need new leggings, like, now), Amazon is a great one-stop shop for top-notch leggings. Shop our picks below.

They’re stretchy, supportive, and super convenient to order.

Best for Everyday Wear: Beyond Yoga Spacedye Out Of Pocket High Waisted Midi Legging

If you prefer soft leggings over sleek ones, you’ll love lounging in Beyond Yoga’s SELF Activewear Award–winning Spacedye Out of Pocket High Waisted leggings. “I reach for these all the time because they’re SO comfy to wear, and they work for most activities I do,” one of our judges said. “No matter how much I wash and dry these, they hold up well!”

They’re incredibly comfortable and non-restrictive (compression leggings fans, keep scrolling), but smooth enough that you can wear them around town without feeling like you’re out in your PJs.

Best Compression Leggings: CWX Endurance Generator

“When you’re sore, sometimes it’s nice to have a compression panel giving you a little extra support,” Amie Dworecki, a running coach and CEO of Running With Life, previously told SELF. She finds that sensation in the splurge-worthy Endurance Generator tight from CWX, which provides targeted compression down the length of your legs.

Dworecki likes them for runs, but they’re great for any activity where you want to feel more supported.

Best Running Leggings: Peloton Cadent High Rise Pocket Legging

“These are some of the most enduring pairs of leggings I have come across,” Nikkia Young, president of the Richmond Road Runners Club and running coach with Game Changers, previously told SELF. She added that they’re super soft and comfy, but still moisture-wicking, so you can wear them during challenging runs. And, for those who have enough black leggings, the Cadent leggings come in several cute, punchy colorways.

Best Lulu Dupe: CRZ Yoga Naked Feeling Workout Leggings

We love Lululemon’s bestselling Align Tights as much as the next person, but CRZ’s Naked Feeling leggings are an excellent (and less-expensive) alternative. I wear mine while running errands, doing yoga, climbing, and jogging on the treadmill, and they’ve never sagged or shown my sweat marks. They do offer a tiny bit of support, but move with me wherever I go.

And if you sweat buckets during workouts, I highly recommend CRZ’s Ulti-Dry Leggings. They’re thinner and more matte than the Naked Feeling version, but just as stretchy.

Best Budget Pick: Amazon Essentials Workout Legging

Best for Outdoor Adventures: Eddie Bauer Guide Trex Leggings

Eddie Bauer’s Guide Trex Leggings strike a fine balance between tough and stretchy, which is key when you’re shopping for hiking leggings. I’ve worn mine all day long while rock climbing and generally romping around the woods—and I haven’t noticed a single snag or tear.

While some pieces of outdoor apparel sacrifice breathability for durability, these leggings always wick away my sweat and keep me comfy—even when I wear them for summertime outings.

Best Fleece-Lined Leggings: Under Armour ColdGear Authentics Leggings

Alysha Flynn, founder of the female running community What Runs You, previously told SELF that these toasty-warm leggings were some of the first fleece-lined styles she ever tried. “Instead of wearing bulky layers to stay warm, I was able to run or jump and the fabric would move with me,” she said, adding that she still breaks out her pair of ColdGear Authentics for winter runs today.

While these leggings are, indeed, lined with ultra-soft fleece, they’re also fast-drying, so you don’t have to worry about things getting swampy if you pick up the pace.

How we picked the best leggings on Amazon

Whether we’re prepping for our annual Activewear Awards or just staying in the loop on the latest launches, we’re always testing pairs of leggings from major brands like Lululemon, Alo, Athleta, and Nike, as well as lesser-known and budget-friendly options too. Our staff consists of runners, yoga fans, weightlifters, walkers, hikers, climbers, and everyday active people—so it’s safe to say we know how to put a pair of leggings through its paces. And, as regular Amazon shoppers, we’re also well-practiced in finding high-quality activewear from legit sellers on the retailer’s sprawling site. We do the scrolling so you can save time shopping.
