Have you ever signed up for a sweat-inducing bootcamp class and made it a quarter of the way in before realizing that you were woefully unprepared, clothing-wise? A series of high kicks can make wearing shorts uncomfortable; likewise, thick cotton leggings can make you unbearably sweaty.

To solve this frequent dilemma, we found the three most flattering – and functional – tights for your common workout needs. Here they are:

Cropped Tights For Boxing

You are going to sweat a ton in your cardio boxing class, and sometimes those mats can be really dirty. Plus, these classes typically have you on the ground for core-focused moves, and shorts can be a little too revealing. Instead, try covering up your legs with a 3/4-length cropped legging. You'll protect your skin against the flooring, and if your class includes any kickboxing, you'll save your shins.

Long Tights For Early Morning Runs

Depending on where you live, it could be chilly in the morning when you step out for your pre-work jog. You can help muscles warm up faster by wearing long tights. Plus, this compression fit provides muscle support in key areas, which can help ward off potential runner injuries.

Capri Tights For Yoga

Yogis do a lot of poses and will want to try a seamless sports bra and capri pants with a soft elastic waistband. With capris, you'll get full coverage – no pesky shorts slipping up – while still feeling like you have freedom to move. Here's an important tip: Make sure there are no zippers on the back of your pants. While waistband zippers are great for stashing your phone and money, the actual zipper itself can be an irritant while lying on your back in class.
