We Absolutely Scoured Target For 11 Of The Highest-Rated Leggings

Theyre all $40 or less way less.

Target
All In Motion ultra-soft tights , flared leggings from Wild Fable and a pair in faux leather

Youd think buying something as basic as leggings would be foolproof, but its actually not. You can buy what seems like the perfect pair only to find out that theyre too sheer in the back when you put them on. (The whole gym doesnt need to know what type of undies youre wearing.) Some leggings just dont fit right or arent breathable at all, which can make you feel itchy when wearing them to work out.

One way to avoid leggings problems is to discover which pairs customers have rated the highest. If youre eying a pair and they only have two stars out of five, thats a sure sign not to add them to your cart. To save you time, we scoured hundreds upon hundreds of leggings reviews from Target customers. Rounded up here are the highest-rated pairs.

Ultra-soft high-rise leggings
Rating: 4.4 out of 5

These crowd-pleasing leggings are available in sizes XS4X and in 12 festive colors. The midweight spandex fabric promises to wick moisture and dry quickly for your most active days.

Promising review: Literally the best leggings Ive purchased. These are a complete dupe for the Lululemon align and way more affordable . I bought the black and the brown! I am so happy I did.

Mid-rise knit leggings
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars

More than 2,000 people have rated these Lands End leggings with most giving them a perfect five-star rating. A cotton-spandex blend, theyre soft, stretchy and flattering. Choose from seven different colors. Theyre available in sizes XS3X in addition to some petite sizes.

Promising review: I love these stretchy pants! Like most Lands End clothes; they run large. I normally wear a large, but in these I wear a medium and they are still a tiny bit big on me, though they do hold my belly in and are very comfy. I love the illusion! lol. I am average height, but always wear petite pants, because they come perfectly between my foot and ankle and I dont need to fold them up. My only complaint is that they need pockets! Tammy

High-waisted flare leggings
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Flare leggings are the style to have right now. This pair by Wild Fable has an almost perfect customer rating, which is quite the feat considering that almost 2,000 people have rated them. They come in four colors and sizes XXS4X.

Promising review: These are literally my favorite pants ive ever owned and Im buying them in every color. Not only are they incredibly comfy, they are tall girl friendly!! (Im 511 for reference) the pant legs are the literal perfect length. I am typically a M in pants but I got the large and they still fit like a glove. I strongly suggest buying these because they are so cute and can literally elevate any outfit. Libby

Ultra-high rise flare leggings
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars

If youre looking for a pair of leggings for everyday wear, these flare leggings are a great pair to consider. Customers love the super soft fabric. Choose from three different colors and sizes XS4X.

Promising review: These are my new favorite pants! The fabric is so soft. The length is perfect (I'm 5'9"), and the waist hits just right and doesn't roll. I found them to be true to size (I'm a size 16 and ordered my usual XL). These really couldn't be better. If these ever go on sale I'm buying at least 3 more pairs. Chrissy

Sweat-wicking leggings with pockets
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars

PSA: All leggings should have a pocket for your phone. Most dont, but this pair does and theyre available in sizes XS4X. The sweat-wicking fabric makes them perfect for wearing while working out.

Promising review: New favorite leggings. I love the drawstring! They dont slip down. Im 58 and have big hips and a butt and these are so fuss-free and comfortable. Ive worn them to lounge and also hiking. Theyre so soft too. Im really sensitive to fabrics, tags, and seams and these are so comfortable. I wish they would come out with more color options. Lclynch

Basic black high-waisted ponte leggings
Rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars

If youre looking for a pair of high-waisted leggings that dont have a thick band across the top, this could be the pair for you. Customers love how comfy they are and that they can go with virtually anything. Get them in sizes S1X.

Promising review: Love, love, love these. I ordered 2 pairs, and then I ordered 2 more. These are all I wear. Theyre so easy to slip on, theyre a thicker legging material, and they have that nice waist band for tummy control. They just make me look and feel slimmer? I love them. Theyre so comfy to sleep in, workout in, and just function in for every day life. They make picking an outfit easier (because what doesnt go with black leggings?) which is my favorite thing about them. Sheridan

Cotton-stretch flare leggings
Rating: 4.5 out of 5

The split cut at the bottom of these flare-cut leggings gives them a playful touch. Customers who left reviews love how soft this stretchy cotton feels. Get them in sizes SXL.

Promising review: I live in flare yoga pants and Ive been trying to find some with a cute split hem at the bottom to better show off some cute chunky shoes that I usually pair with yoga pants, and these are it, the way they accentuate your hips and curves cause of the high waist is beautifulllll. I dont leave reviews on things too often, but these in both the gray and black are my new favorites, you wont be disappointed. Nova

Before You Go

These Winter-Ready Leggings Are Basically Pants
A pair of Spanx faux leather leggings to embrace your inner rockstar(01 of07)
Open Image Modal
A little edgy and cool while still being super wearable, these faux leather leggings hit you in all the right places. They have a shaping waistband and a contoured fit to keep your booty perky while still being thick enough to wear as pants. Best of all, there's no center seam, so say goodbye to awkward bunching in the front.

Promising review: "I originally borrowed a pair of these leggings from a friend. It was love at first try on. I had to get my own pair. They are so versatile - can be worn to work, just to kick it around town, or dressed up for a night out. They are comfortable and make me feel great about my body. Still show my curves but give me a little tuck where I need it." Katie G.

A sporty pair of Lululemon cold weather running leggings(02 of07)
Open Image Modal
They're called running leggings, but you'll find yourself wearing them while running errands, too. Made from technical fleece with weather-repellent panels, they have a drawstring and ankle zips for a little extra shaping and pizazz. Wear then on a winter hike or run, or sport them during the day with a sweater and boots.

Promising review: "This is the cold weather running tight I have been waiting for Lululemon to make. It checks all the boxes: drawstring at the high waist, fleece inside, wind proof, ankle zips, zipper pocket for phone (although I prefer it on the back so the phone stays warm and dry under the jacket in rain/snow)" Sara

Stay cozy and warm while still looking put together with this pair of fleece-lined leggings from Athleta. They have masterfully placed and concealed pockets to hold all your belongings and an internal drawstring to ensure they fit great.

Promising review: "These fit super well and keep me toasty warm on my winter walks. Warm enough that I don't need a long puffer coat to keep my tush warm. Gray a nice neutral change from my usual black." Athleta customer

Or another Athleta option that are basically legging cargo pants(04 of07)
Open Image Modal
Stay dry, warm and stylish with this pair of water-repellent hiking leggings from Athleta. They have pockets along the hips and thighs to hold your valuables and add a little visual interest. They're abrasion-resistant, so they won't snag or pill, and they're water-resistant to keep you cozy and dry on the go. Though they're made for hiking and outdoor sports, they're sharp enough to wear to the office or dinner.

Promising review: "I'm in secondary education and our primary goal when buying work clothes is to find that magic combo of comfort and professional. These leggings are perfect!! The pants themselves are very well made and so comfortable! Very practical when teaching and doing lab work. With all the pockets, you can hold a phone, keys, clicker and some random things students tend to hand you throughout the day. I wear them some days with boots similar to those in the picture and other days with sparkly converse. They look amazing with both styles. I have 2 pairs and about to purchase 2 other others. Athleta please make these in cherry red!!! I would die of excitement. Be sure bury me open casket while wearing these in cherry red." Rachel S

A budget-friendly set of thermals you'll wear all winter(05 of07)
Open Image Modal
A great base layer, these lightweight, quick-dry leggings are stretchy and soft while still being comfortably compressive. The fabric has a brushed feel and offers a snug fit for layering under snow pants or jeans. Breathable and odor-resistant, you'll love to rock these on the ski slopes or later on the couch.

Promising review: "These base layer leggings are perfect! Super soft, stretchy and lightweight enough to wear under any pants without feeling like I have too many layers on. I will wear them around the house and to sleep in, but too thin to wear alone outside of the house. I bought the dark gray and the stormy night. I'm 5'6" 140 lbs with an apple shape (carry my extra weight in the middle with slim legs) and Large fits me perfect. I could likely wear a medium as well. I will be buying more now!" dreamer7

A set of fleece-lined water-resistant thermals with helpful pockets(06 of07)
Open Image Modal
We've written about these reviewer-loved fleece-lined thermal leggings before at HuffPost and we will again. Owned and loved by senior editor Janie Campbell, these ultra-warm leggings have a high-waist fit with gentle midsection compression to keep you feeling snatched, and five utility pockets for your phone, keys and wallet. Campbell says they're great for extra coziness when lounging around the house or when spending time out in the cold.

Promising review: "I don't generally leave reviews unless I absolutely love or hate something. These leggings are one of the best pair I have ever bought! They have 2 pockets on both legs and a zip pocket in the back that is big enough for a phone (unless you have a tablet sized phone); think palm sized phone. They are comfortable and not restricting, and are warm but not too warm; down to 30s today and I did not feel chilled but house is around 70 and I was fine there too. They are a little long for my short legs but I don't mind the slight bunching. I got the burgundy XL which fits great! I am 215lbs at 5"4' and I have thicker thighs and butt for reference. Very happy with this purchase. I'll see how they hold up!" Amy Lasley

Known for their elevated basics, it's no surprise Uniqlo makes amazing winter leggings. They're moisture-wicking to keep you dry and comfortable with a fluffy brushed lining that promises to feel great on the skin. The heat-absorbing fabric will help keep your body warm throughout the day.

Promising review: "Originally purchased to attend an outdoor sporting event, and worked perfectly under jeans. As someone whose thighs are always freezing, I can confidently say these are hands down the best base layer for cold weather. They kept me warm without being too bulky to wear under fitted jeans. Also love wearing them to lounge around the house when it gets chilly!" Uniqlo customer
