Im not talking about that little key pocket inrunning tights.
It might not seem like much of a difference if youve never tried them.
After all, you carry a purse or bag with you most places, right?
But when you’ve got pockets available, youll use them all the time.
Then consider how much time you spend digging through your purse looking for whatever you need.
Pockets just make everything easier.
This is especially true forworkouts.
Now the practice feels archaicits all on my phone.
Here are nine pairs of leggings with pockets that I love.
Ive personally tested and can vouch for every single pair.
Note: Prices reflect the online price as of the time of publication.
Actual prices may vary.
Plus, all of that at a very affordable price.
The material also feels cottony and is super stretchy (read: perfect for Sunday chores).
They come in a variety of dark neutral colors.
The mesh designs on the sides are totally on trend and provide ventilation when youre in a hot studio.
They come in about a dozen different colors and patterns, too.
The material is thin without being see-throughperfect for hot weatherand is super stretchy.
They have a hidden drawstring in the waistband to help keep them from sliding down your hips.
The hidden drawcord in the waistband is another plus.
