1. Athleta Seamless Training Tight ($89)
These Athleta tights are the holy grail of women’s workout pants for their combination of fit, feel and performance. They’re made with premium compression fabric that smooths high through the waist (sans muffin top), and their seamless design means no chafing anywhere. The tights are perfect for circuit training and boot camp workouts, but people wear them not just at the gym but on the street as well.

4. Lululemon All The Right Places Pant ($128)
There’s nothing better than a pair of simple black leggings that fit perfectly and can take you from working out to out and about. Lulu faithfuls swear by these pants not only because of the barely-there pockets along the sides, but also for the compression paneling that supports you in all the right places. The anti-camel-toe gusset is another favorite feature.
