The best black leggings on the internet according to the reviewers who vouch for them.
The Leggings Are Trousers Legging
Uniqlo rarely lets us down when it comes to functional clothing. These deceptive leggings look like a pair of legitimate trousers on the outside, but feel like a pair of leggings on the inside.
The hype: 4.9 out of 5 stars and 135 reviews on Uniqlo
What they're saying: I literally live in these. I have them in several colours and prints, full length and cropped versions. They are not as thin as usual leggings, what makes them appropriate for work. Very versatile from day to night, from winter to summer. Who needs jeans when you can have a black version of these going with everything.
LOVE THEM. - SK18, Uniqlo Review
The Work Appropriate Legging
Leggings to work? 500 Everlane reviewers say, Yes! These stretchy, yet structured, leggings are just the trick to feeling comfortable during your 9-to-5.
The hype: 4.45 out of 5 stars and 500 reviews on Everlane
What they're saying: I bought these in black a few months ago and just bought them in green and blue as well. They are the perfect work pant — stretchy, wrinkle free, and comfortable! The side zip makes untucked shirts lay smoothly, and the elastic waistband gives you versatility if you do want to tuck your shirt I've never been happier with a work pant! - Katharine M, Everlane Review
The Classic Athleisure Legging
These best selling leggings are almost ubiquitous within the leggings fan community. To achieve the true athleisure look, opt for this classic Adidas pair.
The hype: 4.6 out of 5 stars and 2,126 reviews on Adidas
What they're saying: Bold leggings that fit perfectly, don't get a size too small if you're between two. Always go for the larger one! They look great and I can't wait to wear them with my superstars - Auorora, Adidas Review
The Lounge Legging
Looking for a pair of leggings that are as basic as they come? Look no further. This tried and true Gap pair will have you buying more than one so you can keep them in constant rotation.
The hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 235 reviews on Gap
What they're saying: I own 5 pairs of these. Two are in constant rotation and three are back ups because I'm afraid Gap will stop making them. They are quite long which is no problem because I always wear them inside boots. I find they fit large overall side I sized down. I take care not to wash them with anything cotton or light coloured, and I *try* to hang them to dry after putting them through the machine. They are holding up very well. I highly recommend them as a basic style [sic] but really good legging. - MsdotQ, Gap Review
The Luxury Legging
Who said leggings couldn't be luxurious? The Takara legging comes in a glossy liquid finish for that perfect model-off-duty look.
The hype: 4.59 out of 5 stars and 312 reviews on Carbon38
What they're saying: These leggings are amazing! I am so happy I finally found a style/size that fit amazing (I'm 5'6, 125lb, and the XS fits perfectly). I tried the High-Waist Takara Leggings in two different sizes and the waistband on that style is way too uncomfortable and high, regardless of size. The regular Takara Leggings have a fairly high waistband with a super flattering and comfortable fit anyway, which makes these are the perfect leggings for working out and wearing around town! - Jackie, Carbon38 Review
The So Good It Launched An Entire Brand Legging
Girlfriend Collective may have only launched in 2017, but thanks to these comfortable leggings made from recycled plastic bottles, it's already gained a cult following.
The hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 340 reviews on Girlfriend Collective
What they're saying: I saw the reviews too. I was sceptical (sp) too. I thought “they’re just a pair of leggings, why are people so obsessed?” too. But they are. They really are just the best leggings. They have the perfect amount of compression - enough to keep you together but not a battle to get in to. They’re the perfect rise. They don’t go sheer. They don’t pill. They just work so well. I don’t even notice I’ve sweat in these. I love. - Madeline G., Girlfriend Collective Review
The Popular Legging
Lululemon can take a good chunk of credit for kickstarting the athleisure trend. While not the most popular leggings from the brand, this pair has seen the most consistent positive reviews.
The hype: 3.2 out of 5 stars and 960 reviews on Lululemon
What they're saying: The Fast and Free tights are hands down my favourite and best tights Lululemon has to offer. The tights have a moderate compression around the waistband and has an adjustable waist string to tighten during your runs. They are light weight and feel like a second skin. I wear these tights for yoga, strength and conditioning, everyday wear, and for running. The side pocket is a great feature especially when running to hold your phone. I am 5'2 and the length of the tights fit me perfectly so I don't have to get them hemmed. My only complaint about these tights is that darker colours will fade slightly and the light sheen will fade, but other than that I would recommend these tights to everyone. - Shavasanaallday, Lululemon Review
