The right women’s sports leggings for your workout can be game-changing. They can keep you cool and comfortable during a hot, sweaty session in the gym and then seamlessly transition into everyday wear once your training is over. With so many styles to choose from, it’s important to know what to look for in a pair of workout leggings.

From breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics to never-see-through fit to the highest quality of materials – the right leggings will help you push harder and harder in your sessions. But don’t forget the little things that will make a big difference – such as a comfy, secure waistband and no-slip leggings that aren’t too tight or loose and will stretch with you throughout your workout.

Whether you’re new to running or an experienced athlete, the right leggings can mean the difference between a joyful run and one that feels a bit like torture. Invest in specialist runners’ leggings that are made with quick-drying, sweat-wicking fabric and feature anti-chafe seams and reflective details to help you feel at your best during your runs.

If you’re looking for a high-waisted, soft, super-compressive pair of workout leggings that will stay put in high impact workouts, trainers Tatiana Lampa (HIIT instructor at Fithouse) and Dianna Falzarano (TRX director at Flex Studios) both recommend these from Splits59. The compression fabric means they stay in place and won’t slip down – even during sweaty sessions, plus they’re comfy and come in lots of colors with a cute high-waisted fit.
