No, I'm not going to bore you with some "new year, new you" stories. That said, a lot of us do have health-related resolutions that involve getting our butts off the couch, so some new workout leggings certainly wouldn't hurt, right? If you could use a fresh pair of leggings, you've come to the right place. I did all the hard work for you and tracked down celebrity-approved leggings that stars always seem to gravitate toward.
Whether you want a classic black pair like Jennifer Lopez or want to try out some nude options like Vanessa Hudgens, there's something on this list for everyone. Plus, I made sure to include plenty of under-$100 leggings that are still super-high quality. Scroll down to shop my picks.
1. Alo Airbrush Leggings
On Bella Hadid: Alo 7/8 High-Waist Airbrush Leggings ($82)
On Jennifer Lopez: Alo 7/8 High-Waist Airbrush Leggings ($82)
On Rita Ora: Alo Airbrush 7/8 High Waist Leggings ($82)
Yes, you should definitely give white leggings a try.
You can't go wrong with basic black.
I love this beautiful gray.
So many options, so little time.
This pastel green is making me look forward to spring and summer.
2. Tory Sport Chevron Leggings
On Olivia Wilde: Harry Styles T-shirt; Tory Sport Chevron Leggings ($128); Adidas sneakers
On Whitney Port: Tory Sport Chevron Leggings ($128) and bra
I own these leggings and can confirm they are super comfortable.
The leggings that Olivia Wilde and Whitney Port both own also come in this great navy blue.
Why not mix up your activewear collection with a cool brown pair?
3. Year of Ours Football Leggings
On Lucy Hale: Year of Ours Football Leggings ($114); Saint Laurent bag; Nike sneakers; Persol sunglasses
On Olivia Culpo: Year of Ours Football Leggings ($120)

I've already added these to my cart.
Gray will always be cool.
I'm obsessed with this lace-up detail.
Another fantastic color option.
This color is giving me Yeezy vibes.
4. Nike Leggings
On Bella Hadid: The North Face jacket; Nike leggings
I've been wearing Nike leggings for as long as I can remember.
This cropped style will be great for the warmer months ahead.
You simply can't go wrong with Nike.
I love this contrast trim.
5. Set Active Leggings
On Sofia Richie: Set Active leggings; Fendi bag; Nike sneakers
On Vanessa Hudgens: Set Active top and leggings; Naked Wolfe sneakers; Max Mara Berlin Sunglasses
Yes, I'd splurge for the matching bra top too.
These perfect leggings are bound to sell out.
Pretty in pink.
The green version is already selling quickly.
