When it comes to out-of-office attire, leggings are a wardrobe staple. Whether you’re a yogi, a bootcamp babe or simply looking to stay comfy while running errands, nothing beats a quality pair.

The only problem? Some athletic-wear brands often come with a pro-athlete price tag, with some performance leggings costing upwards of $100.

These “figure sculpting” leggings feature a no-slip waistband and are made from moisture-wicking, quick-dry material to absorb sweat, ensuring you stay cool during any activity.

“I own four pairs, and I’m the type that hates to spend money on athleisure wear,” one satisfied shopper wrote in her five-star review. “They are so comfy and slimming, perfect to dress up or down any time of day.”

Available in sizes 00-20, customers rave of the non-pilling fabric that’s thick enough to avoid any embarrassing see-through moments.
