BuzzFeed writer Ali loves these leggings:
"I've seen crossover style leggings all over my For You Page on TikTok and they look so CUTE on everyone who wears them. These mayyyyy just be my new fave leggings. They're high-waisted (legit the only kind I like) and have pockets on both sides which is perfect if I'm taking my dogs for a walk or running an errand and want to keep my phone on me at all times. I love where these hit me on my waist and honestly, these make me want to throw all my old leggings in the trash. If you're in the market for new leggings, I HIGHLY recommend you give these a whirl." —Ali
Get them from Wolven for $98 (available in sizes XS–XXL and seven colors).
Promising review: "Wow, these are amazing. I think these are my favorite leggings that I’ve ever purchased. They have the perfect amount of compression while still feeling super soft. And they have pockets on the side!" —Krystylerose
Get it from Amazon for $11.81+ (available in women's sizes XS-3X and in 25 colors).
Promising review: "I LOVE these leggings. I don’t know how much money I’ve spend on LuLaRoe leggings in the past at $25 a pair, but I can tell you these are just as soft and not see through. Also, if you’re plus-sized, you know that all leggings and pants pill in the thigh area where our legs rub together. But these hold up great, and they get washed sometimes twice a week. And at this price, if they wear out, you can just buy more. They are soooo good and high waisted. I can’t rave enough about them." —James N.

Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical about purchasing these leggings. I am a personal trainer and having the right pair of leggings on during a workout is EVERYTHING! I would say the fit can very much be compared to Gymshark leggings (though Gymshark leggings may be a tad bit tighter). When I put them on I was pleasantly surprised by how great they looked! I ran, jumped rope, did squats and walking lunges to see if they held up and they passed the test. You NEED these!!! They are functional and half the price of most other workout leggings!" —Peter Guzelak
Get them from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and a variety of colors).
Promising review: "These pants are so cute! I love the stretchy material, and the cute ruffles at the hems make it look different. They are a bit high-waisted, which I love, and they're opaque enough so you're sure your underwear won't peek through. You can easily just slip these on, and you'll be good to go! Plus, they're very comfortable and fit true to size." —Corinth
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in sizes XS-XL and in 10 styles).
Promising review: "These leggings have a great amount of stretch to them, but not so much that they feel loose. Holding them up, they look like they won't fit, but the stretch in them makes these leggings fit great! I love the thick waistband as it feels like it's holding everything in. The leggings are a nice thick quality, so no concerns about them ripping or stretching to the point of see-through." —Practical Mama
Get it from Amazon for $31.41.

Promising review: "I LOVE these leggings. I am very active; I work out daily doing 90+ minutes of running, walking, yoga, and strength-training. These leggings have held up through that daily abuse.

Promising review: "These are some of my favorite leggings ever! I got them in grey and loved them so much that I had to get them in green too! They are perfect for everyday living or for working out. The waist is so perfect because it doesn’t slide down throughout the day and it has a zipper pocket." —rachellw99
Get it from Free People Movement for $98 (available in women's sizes XS-L and in 14 colors).
Promising review: "I am obsessed with these leggings! They are buttery soft and fit perfectly! I own at least eight pairs and each one arrived in perfect condition. They last a very long time; I've had my first ones over a year and I wear them weekly. The fabric has amazing recovery and does not go slack like some other brands do. I wear these to work, workout, and sometimes even sleep! The colors they offer are great too!!" —Nicole Kogler

Promising review: "I am always very skeptical buying tights online. I have to try them on, squat in them, bend over in them, and move all kinds of ways. But, these fit me great, much to my surprise. They feel so soft. They don't squeeze at my waist so tight that I feel or look uncomfortable. I just added three more pairs to my cart. These fit like my Fabletics tights but wayyy more affordable." —Delia

Promising review: "These leggings were everything I was hoping for and then some. Great breathable fabric, squat-proof, and lightweight but not sheer. These are excellent high-waisted leggings for leg day. I will be purchasing in the other color-ways. A steal of a price, too!" —E. ZICCARDI
