The Best Leggings That Aren't See-Through
GapFit High-Rise Blackout Full Length Leggings [4] ($42, originally $70)
"There is nothing worse than leggings that become see-through when these stretch, but this pair stays true to its name and that doesn't happen. The high-waisted fit sits comfortably on my hips, so I don't have to worry about pulling them up on my runs. Bonus points: the smooth material never picks up lint."— Macy Cate Williams, senior editor, Shop
