13 Pairs of Leggings (and Bike Shorts) I Constantly Get Compliments On

I'm always a bit surprised when people compliment my leggings (and now bike shorts too since they're such a thing). They're always kind of an afterthought for me and usually chosen at 6 a.m. in the dark while running late for a workout class, but I digress. I'm not really sure why I'm surprised about the compliments, as I scope out other people's leggings too. Truth be told, I often wear somewhat boring black leggings, but whenever I wear a pair that's a pretty color or has an interesting feature, people notice, and many even ask where I got them.
I think we can all agree that receiving compliments is lovely, and it validates that something you chose to buy and wear is really great, especially when it comes to something somewhat polarizing like leggings. I own quite a few pairs of leggings and bike shorts, but the 13 below get me the most compliments by far. Keep scrolling to shop those, along with eight other pairs that I don't own but I'm 100% confident are compliment bait.
1. Year of Ours Samba Ruffle Leggings
2. Lululemon In Movement 7/8 Tights
I honestly think a Lululemon logo gets people's attention, and the color of these is too pretty for words.
3. Outdoor Voices TechSweat 7/8 Leggings
4. Beyond Yoga In the Mix Bike Shorts
5. Lululemon Wunder Under High-Rise 7/8 Tights
I own these leggings in burgundy and always get questions about them. They're so soft that they feel like you're wearing nothing, and I think people can just sense that or something, so they want to own them too.
6. Alo High-Waist Alosoft Goddess Legging
7. Spanx Camo Faux Leather Leggings
8. Beyond Yoga High Waisted Midi Leggings
9. Alala Seamless Leggings
10. Beyond Yoga High Waisted Biker Shorts
11. Alo High Waist Gaze Leggings
12. Core 10 All Day Comfort High Waist 7/8 Crop Yoga Legging
13. Beyond Yoga Alloy Ombré Leggings

The legging version of these is a huge hit, and I have a hunch that these will be too.
