Glamour is continuously monitoring the best products on the market, on behalf of our readers, and that research extends to the best leggings for women. This year, weâve kept tabs on the most talked-about leggings and the latest releases from the brands our editors stand by.
Our contributor Kristine Thomason is fitness editor and writer with over a decade of experience, who has tested over fifty pairs in her career. To narrow down the best leggings for women on this list, she considered brands and styles from 2024 that suited various fitness and lifestyle needs. She also surveyed Glamour editors and testers to have a wide range of picks based on various preferences.
To determine which leggings were truly the best in each category, our testers wore each pair a minimum of five times, during various types of activity (running, hiking, lounging, running errands, and more). Each pair on this list excelled in every category of criteria (fit, e.g. if they managed not to roll down, slip, or sag, sizing, material, and durability).
