I’m the type of girl who wears leggings at any chance she gets. Fortunately, I can dress casual for work so I spend a lot of time wearing leggings! Comfort is key for me and I love how many ways you can dress up or down leggings. Today on the blog, I’m listing 5 leggings you need in your closet.

Spanx

Hands down my favorite leggings & for those wondering, WORTH the price. Plus they’re on sale right now! I bought these from Nordstrom two years ago and have gotten SO much wear out of them since! I don’t workout in these, but they can be worn a zillion different ways. Pair it with a faux fur vest, tunic & black booties for date night, or a tunic, vest & sneakers for athleisure. I stuck with my true small. They suck in everything & are super flattering! I found a “dupe” on amazon, but in my opinion there’s nothing that comes close. I’m wearing a small in the regular Spanx, but if you’re 5’3″ and below, I’d recommend grabbing the petite option so you don’t have to roll them!

Zella

Another pair I love for daily wear. These are more of what you’d expect for a “true legging”. I pretty much switch off between wearing these & my spanx everyday haha! Pair with a teddy coat, tank & sneaks and you’re ready to go. I have my true small in these.

Aerie – Moto & Play me legging

These are my favorite leggings for working out AND everyday wear. They come in two sizes – regular and short (and I have them in both, true to size). The short version hits me just right (I’m 5’3”) so that I don’t have to roll them up at the bottom. It’s super hard finding workout leggings that don’t actually fall down and annoy you when you workout and these are definitely squat proof! I have them in green, red, black, patterned, moto, and need to purchase navy blue. I also have these maroon leggings which I LOVE because they have a side pocket for my phone when I’m at the gym.

Crz Yoga

These are my newest pair of leggings. They fit like butter and I love them for athleisure outfits, everyday and running errands! I wore them to the gym and to be honest – I did not like them nearly as much as the aerie leggings. They are true to size & available on amazon prime which is always a plus in my book!

I first bought these leggings years ago at Tj Maxx but realized they’re also available on amazon prime. What I do love is that they come in a million fun colors. I have them in pink and purple in the cropped version and black in the full length version. True to size, I wear these for everyday and also occasionally for working out. A lot of bloggers rant and rave about these leggings for working out, but I prefer my aerie leggings over these for working out.
