The Leggings That Are Perfect For Lounging

The Leggings That Are Perfect For Lounging

Our Top 10 Lists help shoppers quickly and easily find what they need. Using an intense review and approval process (which you can learn more about here), we break down the best styles according to what consumers most commonly search for and want.

It's safe to say that not all leggings are created equal, especially when it comes to loungewear. Sure—they may all feature the same stretchy, soft appeal, but squat-proof, sweat-wicking styles aren't exactly what we want to wear while we take it easy. This is why it's oh-so-important to have an array of lounge-worthy picks in your pile of leggings—we're talking ultra-soft jersey styles that have the same comfort factor as your favorite sweatshirt and are cozy enough to wear while you catch some Zs. Ahead, we're helping you build your collection with a roundup of the very best lazy day-approved leggings in the game.

How We Found The Best Lounge Leggings

Nowadays, there's a legging style for just about anything—compressive pairs for high-intensity workouts, luxe leather options for fancy occasions, super soft picks fit for lounging around the house and binging your latest Netflix obsession. Ahead, we're covering the latter. To round up this list, we turned to the help of our data-driven algorithm, a unique tool that ranks and scores products according to reviews, best-seller lists, editor recommendations, and more. From must-have details like deep pockets and adjustable waistbands to an under-$20 Lululemon Align competitor, keep scrolling to shop the styles that made the cut.

USER REVIEW: "Wow!! These are soft like sweats but fit like leggings. And they have pockets and a cute drawstring. What’s not to love? Sometimes leggings can make my legs look like sausages, but these don’t. I just ordered another grey pair and a black pair." 


Felina Velvety Super Soft Lightweight Leggings

THE VALUE PACK

WHO IT'S FOR: If you're working with a budget, look no further. With over 7,500 rave reviews and an almost-perfect five-star rating, these leggings look and feel way more expensive than $35 per two-pack.

Gap High Rise Sleep Leggings In Tencel Modal

Lunya Cozy Cotton Silk Ribbed Legging

Alo Yoga High-Waist AloSoft Lounge Legging

THE DO-IT-ALL PAIR

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: These high-waisted leggings are capable of going so much farther than lounge sessions. They also double as the perfect pair of leggings for low-impact workouts. 

USER REVIEW: "Hands down, these are superior to my Lululemon Wunder Unders. The fabric is like super soft fleece and athletic material had a baby. They feel like a thick, hold-you-in version of those Lularoe butter leggings that people loved a few years back. They make my butt look amazing, they aren’t see-through, they’re slimming, and they DO NOT ROLL DOWN! I’ve truly never encountered a legging like this, but I can assure you this will be my first pair of many."
