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!

I love the bootcut yoga pants from Jockey. So comfy!
I would live in jeans if the office agreed. Dressed up or down. Yoga and sweat pants are more of my home uniform. Yes, I like comfort. 😀
Love the look of the wide leg sweats but inseam is way too short on all of them 😩
I love the slim stretch knit straight leg pants and bootcut yoga pants. Anything that is comfortable but has that “girdle” effect for my middle! Love your styles!
Your Matti is a doll. What a fun way to celebrate her birthday! I live in leggings year-round as well and any kind of knit pant is my choice for travel.
You should try out the NoGa bootcut pants from Duluth Trading! They are spectacular; like a yoga pant, but better plus they have a pocket on the side for your phone and a hidden “key” pocket in the waistband if needed. I think I own 5 pairs and wear them everywhere!!!
I do love leggings, but I also love all the styles you posted – I have a variation of a few. Thinking I’d like to get the first pair (wide-leg yoga), and the Talbot’s jeans and the cargo pants are also nice! 🤗
I love the look of the split hem pants by Talbot. I would probably get them in the indigo blue. You can never go wrong with Talbots. Great post Tania.
Love alternatives to leggings since I am not a jean person (they just don’t fit me right). And the split hem comes in petite length too.
I really like the Sketchers walkers pants. they aren’t dressy but they’re great for running errands or relaxing at home. Costco carries them at a reasonable price from time to time. I’d like to try the yoga pants here and maybe the wide leg ones. I don’t like to tuck in my tops so I have to watch proportions.
