Sure, leggings are clearly a workout staple, but most would agree that their other main function is providing comfort while still looking cool. In fact, there's an entire category of leggings that are designed specifically with comfort in mind, and that's exactly what we're about to get into today. Unlike your typical workout pair which is best for compression and sweat-wicking, lounge leggings are made for, well, lounging, errand-running, brunching, and everything in between. Like sweatpants, only cooler.

As is my fashion-editor duty, I scraped the internet for the most comfortable leggings and am pleased to report that the below pairs deliver in just as much in comfort as they do in style. But don't just take it from me, read some of the glowing reviews shoppers have given them. From Alo's best-selling Lounge Leggings that have earned a number of celebrity fans to the $9 Amazon pair that boast thousands of reviews, continue on to shop each and get inspired by a few casual legging outfits along the way.

Alo High-Waist Lounge Leggings in Black ($98)

There's a reason these are consistently one of Alo's best-selling leggings. They feature a flattering high-waisted rise (a signature of the brand) and ribbed detailing at the waistband and cuff.

Hanes Stretch Jersey Leggings ($9)

Amazon shoppers agree that these are the kind of leggings you can actually breathe and relax in and with nearly 9,000 positive reviews, I'm inclined to agree.

Beyond Yoga High Waisted Midi Leggings ($97)

I've recommended this pair to everyone know because their high waist and buttery soft stretchy fabric are so good. Get the matching tank if you know what's good for you.

Daily Ritual High Waist Stretch Leggings ($19)

"Without a doubt, they are the most comfortable, the nicest looking, and the most inexpensive pair I have ever had," one Amazon reviewer wrote. "My first reaction when I put them on was literally to say, 'Ahh!' They were so soft and comfy, and the high waistband is a huge bonus."

Year of Ours Home Leggings ($60)

The name "home" leggings really says it all.

Are You Am I Sarei Leggings ($140)

With the matching top, this is easily the most Instagrammable lounge set under the sun.

Girlfriend Collective Black Luxe Leggings ($78)

"These are definitely more comfortable and stretchy than the compressive leggings, so they feel a bit more versatile. They do have a bit of a sheen to them though, so if you're not into that, be warned. Overall, I think these are super comfortable and a great addition to my collection from the brand." — Girlfriend Collective reviewer
