They pair with almost everything, are comfortable and are easy to just throw on when you feel like you've got nothing to wear.

Below, I've rounded up my editor-approved picks across all categories, from activewear leggings fit for any sweat session to cozier styles fit for a day of lounging. If there's a legging need you have, you'll find your answers if you keep scrolling. Continue on to shop the very best options that you'd want to wear every day (we won't blame you if you do.)
