Anyone who dons spandex pants on the reg knows how important it is for them to fit right.

Since then, I’ve tried to exclusively wear high-waisted leggings.

(That’s me in the photo above, rocking a pair.

If the waist doesn’t come to at least my belly button, I’m not enticed.

I want my leggings to reach my ribcage, ideally.

And I want to wear themon a run, at the gym, and in the grocery store.

I don’t have six-pack abs, but mybutt is really strong, if I do say so myself.

High-waisted leggings flatter your midsection andaccentuate your behind.

I just feel really damn good in these pants, and I want everyone to know.

I also want you to feel comfy and confident, too.

Which is just how I like it.

The seams around the butt lend a nice contouring effect.

Alala Captain Ankle Tight, $110

Alala’s Captain Tights are the epitome of athleisure.

The seams along the leg are really flattering, too.

Bonus: There’s mesh at the bottom (speaking of athleisure trends…).

Lululemon Fast & Free Crop, $118

Lululemon’s also a treasure trove of high-waisted leggings.

There’s also a drawcord in the waist, so you might make them more snug if you oughta.
