Product Information

You might know Peloton better for its at-home fitness equipment, but the brand also does a great range of activewear. We tested the Essential Tulip Hem Leggings performance for walking, cycling, and running, but our testers agreed that you could easily wear these for activities such as yoga or Pilates because of their stretchiness.

You can choose from nine colors, patterns, and sizes XS to XXL, but this pair only comes in one inseam length (which may not be as inclusive to shorts and taller wearers). Cotton leggings blended with spandex often “provide just the right balance of softness, flexibility, and breathability, making my workouts comfy and chafe-free,” says Yu. And a polyester blend can increase strength, wrinkling resistance, and shape preservation, notes Brown. To find the best cotton leggings on the market, we first spoke with three experts to best understand what to look for in cotton leggings:Everlane’s Seamless Legging is a top choice because it’s flattering, comfortable, and eco-friendly. The high and wide waistband offers a smoothing effect while also keeping the leggings in place throughout the day. A blend of cotton, nylon, and elastane makes this pair more supportive and compressive than most cotton leggings—a great choice for moderate-intensity workouts. You can choose from four colorways and sizes XS to XXL. Unlike other options on our list, like Aerie’s Offline OG Leggings, this pair only comes in one inseam length (31.5 inches), so it may be too long for shorter wearers. What you need it for - we tested how each pair of workout leggings performed in high-impact and low-impact workouts, to see how they stood up workouts such as HITT and running and low-impact workouts such as walking for weight loss and yoga.

If you’re entering your third trimester and the thought of squeezing into jeans and skirts makes you want to take a nap, then you’ll love our maternity range of leggings. Super affordable, great under just about anything and perfect for getting comfy with your bump, these leggings will keep you looking great all pregnancy long. Plus-size leggings with Papaya Curve Cotton leggings are usually made of cotton blended with another fabric, like nylon, spandex, polyester, and more. “These materials are added to cotton to produce a flexible, form-fitting fabric that provides comfort and flexibility," says Brown. Most leggings are either mid- or high-waisted, and some come with a more narrow waistband (like Old Navy’s High-Waisted Leggings), whereas others have a wide waistband (like Aerie’s Offline OG Leggings). If you feel you want a little more help (we think you’re gorgeous as you are by the way), then why not try our shapewear range? Control panels stitched into the leggings flatter and shape to give you the confidence you want. Over-bump leggings Next, you’ll want to think about length. Some leggings hit above the ankle, while others fall right below. If you’re petite or particularly tall, you may want to look for options that have short or tall lengths.

We love the Victoria’s Secret Cotton Foldover Flare Leggings for their four-way stretch, adjustable waistband, and overall style. The foldover waistband allows you to wear this pair as a high-, mid-, or low-rise—depending on how much you fold it over. However you choose to wear these leggings, they’re super stylish, flattering, and overall comfortable. The cotton and elastane blend gives these pants a flexible four-way stretch that moves with you. They stay in place and don’t require adjustments during gentle exercises like walking, yoga, or Pilates. We appreciate that these are breathable enough for both warm and cool days, but we would not recommend them for high-impact, sweaty workouts—as with most cotton leggings. While we liked the style and feel of the Adidas Adicolor Classics 3-Stripe ⅞ Flare Leggings, they were fairly see-through and thinned out even more with each wear—making them difficult to include in our final list of recommendations. A recent Center for Environmental Health test found that some workout leggings composed of a blend of polyester and spandex may have higher than ideal levels of BPA in them. So if you want to limit your exposure, cotton leggings can be a great alternative—especially for casual wear and lounging.

Stretch: Some leggings are stretchier than others, so opt for a pair that's designed for the same purpose you plan on using them for. For example, a legging with a four-way stretch might be a great option for yogis who need pants that are tear-proof. Meanwhile, leggings that are just made for comfort or style might not hold up as well during your next yoga class. Style - we assessed all products on their color options and general style; on whether they had reflective panels and if they looked flattering. “Getting the right fit of workout leggings and tights is really important, as it will help make your overall training session more efficient and effective,” says expert Nicola Stewart from Up & Running. “Ill-fitting leggings will mean you spend more time pulling them up or readjusting them, rather than exercising.” Vivian Yu, physical therapist, personal trainer, and co-founder of One Body Personal Training & Gym FinderFit - we had both average size (5’6) and petite (below 5’3) testers trying each pair of leggings, so we could determine whether they were long enough or short enough in the leg. “If the material feels too tight when squatting, or digs in around the waist, then they’re too small,” says Stewart. “If they feel baggy in the crotch, or at the knees, and slip down at the waist, then they are too big and this can lead to chafing.”
