Whether I opt for a full-compression design or choose leggings that have the compression fit in one or more parts (e.g., the waistband, butt area, etc.), I have found that paying
attention to this one detail in product descriptions and style names has ensured that my leggings fit like a glove. I was recently chatting with the PR manager at Lululemon, Meghan Chisholm, about this exact topic. She told me that at Lululemon, they focus a lot on how products make you feel and how our mind and body interact. "Our product developers use this philosophy to engineering-specific physical sensations that drive emotional responses toward how products are perceived," says Chisholm. While she was specifically speaking to Lululemon's Everlux material, this overarching theme of how our body and mind connect is something I think about when purchasing new leggings.
With that said, if you've struggled to feel confident in leggings, I highly suggest trying out compression leggings. The "tight but not too tight" fit ensures a fidget-free wear time and again. Ahead, I have shopped out 24 of the best compression leggings on the market based on customers and my personal reviews. After reading up on all the hype, I'm sure you'll be hopping on the compression bandwagon soon.
