Whether Imrunning, doingyoga, orbiking, I work out almost every day of the week.

Thats not asking for too much, right?

That’s why I prefer cropped or capri leggings.

Sincethe pockets go deepand the leggings are tight, anything I put in them really does stay put.

Athleta All in Capris

The thick waistband also doesn’t move no matter what activity youre doing.

I got these leggings in my size in petite and they fit just right.

The style is also available up to size 2X.

The leggings dont have pockets so they are more suitable for a studio workout.

The thick waistband rises up to my rib cage, while the crop hits just under my knee.

The nylon/spandex blend is stretchy, but I would size up for more breathing room.

Lively The Active High Waist Crop Leggings

These also come in red and in sizes up to 2X.

These fit true to size, and as far as gauging length goes, the image is pretty accurate.

The fit cant be beat, as they have a firm hold but are still comfortable.

Theyre made of a moisture-wicking material and run true to size.

The mesh panel at the back of the leg also allows for a nice cooling effect.

Sizes go up to XXL.

Koral Lustrous HighRise Capri Leggings

The moisture-wicking, antimicrobial material is thick with a decent amount of compression.

Plus, the waistband fits nicely on my stomach and doesn’t roll down as I move.

The leggings also come in six additional colors, including neon green, black, white, and beige.

Zella Hatha High Waist Crop Leggings

Theyre made of a lightweight nylon that is comfortable, although the material can sometimes be sheer.

Reviewers say these leggings run big, so opt for a size smaller than usual.
