As a fitness professional — I'm a trainer and a fitness editor — I spend a lot of my time in workout gear. I'm always looking for the best products that are functional and won't make me cry immediately after purchasing because of how expensive they are.
The one brand I always find myself getting leggings, sports bras, socks, and even running sunglasses from is Nike. In my opinion, they always have the best colorways and designs, not to mention that the product can withstand intense gym sessions and is cozy enough to wear on days when I'm dressing for extreme comfort.

Nike Power Speed 7/8 Running Tights
You can't go wrong a pair of black tights. I really like the Nike Power Speed 7/8 Running Tights ($75) because they won't fall down when you move, they wick sweat, and they go with everything.
