Legging recs

[coffeecake]

Does anyone have recommendations for their favorite workout leggings that are not super expensive? I feel like it shouldn’t be that hard, but I keep striking out. I am short, so capri or at least 7/8 length. I typically wear a size 4, but a curvier 4. I want them to stay up and be fairly tight. I would prefer pockets, but not a requirement. And no Old Navy, unless they have changed the fabric in the last couple of years.

I love these. I have them in several different colors and they’ve held up well. I’m also a curvy size 4.

I will try them, thanks! I was looking on Amazon tonight and there are just so many choices.

I like the brand Colorfulkoala on Amazon also. I do find they pill a little bit, but I've worn them pretty heavily for a few years. And they're cheap!

Not a size 4 but I tend to have a smaller waist vs thighs and I love these. I love these because they are tighter around the waist and I don’t spend anytime pulling them up while hiking. They have them in capri length too:

Yogalicious, hands down. They're all I wear and they stay put through Pilates (reformer, tower, and Cadillac) which is hard!

They also have side pockets.

I know lulu is not inexpensive. But those leggings last FOREVER. I have multiple pairs that I’ve worn/washed/dried for nearly 15 years and through pregnancy and they are still in great shape. So in the end the cost per wear is basically nothing.

Here to commiserate. I had a favorite legging (AE The Everything Pocket Legging), but I am also short. I recently lost some weight, and I need a smaller size. They no longer have them in short. The regular length is too long, so I am searching too.

I absolutely hate when leggings are too long. It drives me crazy! How annoying that they discontinued the short length.

I have short legs which is another reason I love Yogalicious - their 7/8 fit me like an ankle length for cooler weather and they have a more cropped length I wear in the summer.

I wear Heynuts (linked above) every day. I have drawers of Lululemon that I will only wear now if my Heynuts are all in the wash because nothing feels as good as them.

I’m seeing a lot of the reviews comparing them to Lulu. Definitely going to try these.

I'm also a huge fan of these!

The other Amazon brand that I like is Sunzel.

I see that they seem to have multiple types (at least for the full length legging). Do you happen to know what the difference is between the Essential and the Workout Pro (or have a rec for either?) Thanks

I ordered the essential and really like them so far. I couldn’t figure out the difference either, but most of the reviews seemed to be for the essential. I am sometimes a medium and sometimes a small, but found medium to fit me better in these.

I was going to go order some of the Heynuts ones because I saw they actually have long lengths but then got annoyed because the long lengths have no pockets. Long legs like pockets too, retailers. hmph.

I have both and like them both. The Workout Pro seems to suck me in more.

I just checked my orders and looks like I only have the essential. Love them.

The other amazon brand I really like is this one- CRZ YOGA

So I had ordered both of these from Aerie right before this thread was created because a friend suggested Aerie, and unfortunately neither is great for me:

I like how they fit and feel (they remind me a lot of Athleta stash pocket, which I love but aren't working for me right now), but I am pretty straight through the waist and hips, and they both slide down on me, which drives me nuts. The 1st pair was worse than the 2nd.

I had the same issue with the HeyNuts leggings. I had high hopes for them when they came because they felt a bit tighter, but they definitely didn't stay up.

The yogalicious ones aren't in stock in my size in the ones I want right now, but I will keep checking.

Right now the Gym People ones are winning for me. I don't LOVE the feel of them or the band at the top of the waistband, but that seems to help them stay up better than all the others, so that makes them worth it for me.
