While low-rise may be a top trend at the moment, we still prefer our leggings to be high-rise. It's the most optimal waistline for comfort, which is our main priority while wearing leggings. They not only serve as a more elevated alternative to sweatpants but are also the comfiest option for all kinds of activities from working out to lounging around.

I've found the best high-waisted leggings on the market in every category you'd possibly need. Whether you're out running errands or heading to a morning yoga class, there's an option for you below.
