Okay, let's be real for a sec. I love lululemon as much as the next person, but it can get really expensive. but it also sometimes feels like the only available option when it comes to workout leggings.
On a mission to right this wrong, I asked Her Campus contributors what their favorite leggings brands are, scoured the internet for product reviews, and tried a few alternatives myself. Behold the results of my groundbreaking research.
1. Adidas
For such a popular brand, Adidas' leggings are surprisingly affordable. These cute pants consistently receive 4.5 to 5 stars on Zappos and Amazon, so you know it's real.
2. Alo Yoga
"Better than lulu," says Her Campus contributor Elana Golub.
3. ASICS
"ASICS are super high quality and have cute designs like Lulu. I got mine on sale so they were a better price."
4. Forever 21
It doesn't get much more affordable than Forever 21. Although you can't expect them to match the quality of lululemon, they're still guaranteed to be cozy.
5. Girlfriend Collective
Girlfriend Collective made waves when they offered free leggings for the price of shipping (for real though—*cough cough* Sunny Co. Clothing), and have since garnered quite a few fans.
6. Ivy Park
"I honestly think Ivy Park is actually really good quality and it's stylish!" says HC blogger Savanna Tavakoli.
7. Soulcycle
If you're a Soul addict, these are pretty much a must.
8. Target
"Honestly great for the price," Abby says.
9. Champion
Pair one of their iconic crewnecks with their ultra-soft yet thick leggings, perfect for a workout or a day in class.
10. Alternative Apparel
Comfortable, fashionable, and sustainable? Yes, please.
