Best 7/8 Leggings
GapFit High Rise Power 7/8 Leggings ($60)
If you hate when fabric bunches around your ankles with long leggings, maybe a 7/8 length is a better option. Bonus: They have pockets to stash essentials during workouts and are moisture-wicking to keep your skin dry.

Best Wide-Leg Leggings
GapFit High Rise Wide-Leg Power Leggings ($70)
The yoga pants trend from the early 2000s is having a revival, but with a modern twist. Instead of the classic bootcut style from that era, modern versions feature a sleek fit through the thigh and a wide leg.

Best Split-Hem Leggings
GapFit Sky High Rise Power Split-Hem Leggings ($70)

Best Leggings With Medium Compression
GapFit High Rise Eclipse Full Length Leggings ($70)
Unlike Gap's "Power" fabric, known for its high compression, or its brushed jersey fabric, which offers low compression, these leggings strike a balance. With medium compression, they're ideal for workouts such as yoga and Pilates.

Best Flare Leggings
GapFit Sky High Rise Power Flare Leggings ($70)
