1. Super high-waisted leggings that are not see through. At all.

ModCloth

Get them from Modcloth for $19 (available in sizes XS–4X and four colors).

Promising review: "These are the best leggings I've ever put on. They're so comfortable and flattering that I'm going to have to keep myself from wearing them every day! They are the perfect weight — light enough for a warm fall day, but substantial enough to make one feel secure and comfortable (i.e., no fabric getting wedged in crevices, and so opaque they passed the White Panty Test). I'm glad I got the high-waist, too. I think the regular waist would have been a bit too low for my comfort. They are a little long on me, but I'd rather have that than the alternative. I definitely plan on buying more of these!" —Aemilyus

2. Leggings with contrast stitching AND POCKETS you should definitely buy multiples of.

Promising review: "I adore these pants! They are so comfortable and the contrast trim is really cute. I love that they have pockets! I bought three pairs and will probably get more so I have backups if I ever wear them out." —Margarita M.

3. Shark-print leggings that'll take a bite out of your bad mood.

Promising review: "Listen. Everyone has considered these leggings. If you are that person, and you haven't bought them yet I ask you to reconsider. If you do not like having your clothes noticed by others, do not buy these shark pants. If you don't like feeling both dangerous, awesome, and AMAZING; do not buy these shark pants. They have made my life better. #sharkpants" —Jaimee

4. Velvet leggings that'll make you feel like royalty.

They are SUPER comfortable, best quality leggings I have ever owned (and I've owned plenty), and I will buy more... I need all the leggings. Oh and the fit was true to size, which is a big deal for me as I'm a curvy girl and often have to size up on bottoms, but not with these, they were perfect." —Rcboucha

Loved these so much I ordered three more pairs!" —Tina
