Best for: Running, walking, errands
Athleta is a trusted brand among Glamour editors, and for good reason. Their activewear is high-quality, comfortable, and, of course, cute. The Rainier style is specifically designed for winter workouts, with thick, insulated material and a soft, brushed interior.
What I personally love most about these black leggings is the compressive fabric and perfectly high-rise waist, which stays put during colder weather workouts without sliding down (which is a must, because there’s nothing worse than feeling the winter chill against your core during an outdoor run). I also love the surplus of pockets, including two zippered pockets on the thigh, which are so convenient for holding keys, gels, and other essentials I need during a long run.
- Pros: Side pockets, brushed fabric, size inclusive
- Cons: Less thick than some winter leggings
- Sizes: XS–3XL
- Fabrics: Recycled polyester, lycra
