Best for Running: The Gym People Thick High-Waist Yoga Pants
What we love: These high-waisted leggings are made of a squat-proof fabric that is thick and smoothing, with deep side pockets and a hidden interior pocket for keys, cards, and phone—helpful for staying hands-free during long runs. “These are some of the running leggings I keep in rotation,” says Griggs. “They’re a little tough to pull on because they’re not super stretchy, but once on, they stay put—no rolling while I move, no chafing, and there’s plenty of space for my essentials.”
- Worth noting: Slightly hard to pull on and off
- Sizes: XS–4X
- Material: 88% polyamide, 12% spandex
- Inseam: 26 to 26.8 in.

CRZ Yoga Butterluxe High-Waisted Legging
What we love: The lightweight fabric of these CRZ leggings is lightly compressive, offering support during low-impact activities like yoga and Pilates. The wide, high-rise waistband stays comfortably in place, while the streamlined design pairs just as easily with a workout tank as it does an oversized sweatshirt. “Honestly, these rival some of my pricier yoga leggings from brands like Vuori,” says Griggs. “The fabric is so soft and effortlessly stretchy. It’s really surprising that they’re so affordable.”
