I wear workout leggings more than I carry handbags at this point. Everyday it’s dog park or take them to the river. I would like to invest in some ones that feel great, look great and have a couple pockets. Any recommendations? I don’t mind paying but I don’t want to just pay for name. Like LuLu. Unless they are worth it :P
 
For the longest time, I refused to buy into the lululemon hype. I felt it was ridiculous and not worth the price.
At the time I trained almost everyday, did cardio and weight training including rack squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts, etc.
I went through leggings relatively fast or they would just not hold up over time.

I ended up buying my first pair of Lululemon leggings on sale and I loved them. I did try other high end brands or popular brands like Alo Yoga, Gym Shark, Athleta, Bombshell leggings, etc. But tbh, none of them held up as well as Lululemon.

I am very good at following the care instructions. Wash on a light or gentle cycle with no fabric softener and always hang dry. Never had an issue with fabric piling or stretching for years. I still have some that are over 6 years old and still look and feel great!

There are a ton of lululemon leggings, best to read the materials to make sure it works out for whatever you intend to use it for. There will be varying amounts of stretch, compression, softness, and thicknesses.

You can always go into a store and try on as many as you like just to get a feel for them and see if you like them, good luck!

I wear Lululemon Align, I mostly lift and do some cardio. I have not found anything better. They move great and feel great. I wash and dry them, have no time for hanging dry and they wear ok. They pill a bit but since I wear them literally all the time, I expect wear. I think they do come with pockets. I only wear black, women who wear colored leggings to the Gym must have anti-sweat super powers.
 
I used to exclusively wear Lululemon leggings. But my new faves are the Vuori daily pocket leggings https://vuoriclothing.com/products/...b9e967648ed8d002d8&collection=womens-leggings. I wear them for weight lifting, walking or just running errands/lounging. I would not wear them for running. I have a few pairs of the Lululemon Align leggings but always choose to wear these Vuori over them. My only complaint is that their colors tend to be muted/earthy.
 
I prefer Vuori these days as well. Their fit and fabric are better than Lulu, and I agree, the color palette can be drab lol
Their pieces can be worn all day and for travel imo, very soft fabrics and every single item isn't skin tight.
DH has switched from Lulu/Vuori combo to Alo recently.

Hi! I've been going to my local gym and really enjoying it, but I'm having trouble with my yoga-style pants slipping down. I'm a woman over 55 with an apple-shaped figure (yes, complete with the tummy — makes me think of apple pie, haha). Can anyone recommend some good, affordable options that stay in place?
