Nine Great Alternatives To Leggings
If you’ve read this blog for long, you know I love leggings; in fact, I have a post on rules for wearing leggings that you might want to check out. I wear them all year round, but especially during fall and winter. What can I say? I love to be comfortable. But I get it; they’re not for everyone. Maybe you need something thicker or don’t like the shape. Whatever the reason, today I’m sharing nine great alternatives to leggings.
Nine Great Alternatives To Leggings – Yoga Pants
If you don’t like the shape of skinny pants or leggings but want the super comfort of the soft material, then yoga pants are a great alternative. They are comfortable like leggings, but the flare adds just the right amount of style. These come in a TON of colors, have pockets, and are on sale for under $30. Reviewers have given these a 4.4-star rating, and even though I didn’t leave a review, I agree with this rating.
Here’s another great option. These are loose and cozy, perfect for those who want comfort but don’t like clingy leggings. Like the yoga pants above, they come in several colors and have pockets, which is a must for me. These are a little cheaper at just $24 dollars!
Nine Great Alternatives To Leggings – Jeans
If you like the look of leggings but can’t get over how thin the material is, you can achieve the same look with a pair of skinny jeans. Just like with leggings, you can pair this with a long tunic or sweater and look very chic. These are Levi’s and are available in several washes. Over 16,000 people have reviewed these jeans, and they have a 4.4 star rating!
Talbot’s gets it! These jeans + leggings, or jeggings, combine the best of both worlds. They are made from stretch denim and are great at hiding the bumps and bulges that leggings can sometimes expose. These are available in misses, petite, and plus size, too!
I’m a huge fan of the Wearever line from J.Jill, and I just spotted these pull-on knit jeans. I can’t wait to get these because they will be perfect for days you need to travel but want to look put-together when you arrive.
Nine Great Alternatives To Leggings – Stretch Pants
I love these pants! They are comfortable but so chic. I love wearing winter white, but for those of you who prefer darker colors, they are also available in black. I like the high waist, the flared hem, and especially the seam detail on the front. These would be great for lounging at home, or throw on a quilted vest, and you’re ready for almost anything.
Wearing leggings is all about comfort, so you know I’m a fan of these split-hem pants. These are for casual days out walking the neighborhood or running errands. They have a front zip pocket and a tiny split at the hem for a nice finishing detail. These also come in grey and black, but I think the navy would pop with a white or yellow sweater.
Cargo pants are definitely trending! These combine the comfort of sweatpants with the cargo pant silhouette. Being comfortable doesn’t mean you can’t be stylish. Hanging out at home alone? You’ll feel better about yourself when you’re put together.
I know everyone isn’t a fan of the legging or skinny pant silhouette, so this pair of wide-leg sweatpants is for you. Wide-leg pants might be out of your comfort zone, but if the choices are the sweatpants you wore back in 9th grade PE or these, please give these a chance. 🙂 They are available in several colors, and there are even some without the front seam. And, of course, they have POCKETS.
If leggings are a non-starter for you, let me know in the comments which of these alternatives you’re considering!

HELP! I am a 58-year-old writer … but I’m only 4’6″. Where do I look for clothes like this that will work for me. PS. I live on an island in Alaska. Often find places in Anchorage on travel, but also spend a lot of time on travel in a Salvation Army. I need comfort at the computer, and style at a signing. So, advice for what I’m seeking and how, please?
You have limited shopping opportunities, and my daughter lived in Alaska for a while, so I know how high shipping rates can be. I love wearing leggings with a comfortable top. If you need to dress the outfit up for a signing, then throw on a nice blazer, jacket, or cardigan. Dressing in layers would be helpful for you since you wouldn’t need to wear everything all the time.
Hi, Tania: What do you think of joggers as a substitute for actual leggings or yoga pants? It’s hard to find yoga pants in shorter lengths for those of us under 5’3″.
I love joggers!!!
So true about feeling better when you’re put together well! The Jean leggings are really cute!
Alternatives are always a good thing!!
