Best High Waist Leggings for Running & Yoga

Flattering and stylish, the QUEENIEKE Women Yoga Leggings feature a smooth stretchy fabric and a handy hidden pocket. The supportive 4-way stretch fabric is soft to the touch, so not only are these leggings super comfy, but they also provide great coverage and they are fully squat proof too.
Plus, there’s a huge range of colours to choose from; keep it neutral or opt for bright bold styles. The leggings feature a 5.5-inch high-rise elastic waistband offering complete tummy control, which also doubles up as a pocket just big enough for your phone.

Suitable for runners or a yogis, the IUGA Yoga Pants with Pockets offer both compression and support in your workouts and beyond. The smoothing, stylish high-waist design is great for those seeking tummy control and it also provides a handy pocket too, whilst the ultra-stretch fit fabric makes these leggings supportive yet still breathable.
Other thoughtful features include a gusset crotch that enables complete free movement as well as interlocking seams to minimise chafing.

Made from a combination of spandex and polyester fabrics, the durable Yogalicious High Waist Squat Proof Yoga Capri Leggings are both stretchy and non-see through. The leggings benefit from a slimming high-waist style that contours your body, whilst providing that all-important support during every workout.
There’s also the option to go for leggings with or without pockets too, but there are a limited number of colours to choose from. However, if you prefer a shorter Capri style of leggings that are fully sweat and squat proof – then these could be the perfect pick for you.

At the pricier end of the range, we have the Alo Yoga Women’s Leggings. But is it worth splashing out that extra cash? Well, with a polyamide/elastane fabric mix that’s engineered to sculpt, contour and lift – there seems to be no expense spared on ensuring that this high-waist pick provides the perfect fit.
Not only do these tight-fitting leggings provide secure compression, but they also feature a stylish design with a glossy ribbed detail and sleek mesh insert – making them great for the fashion-conscious fitness fanatic.

The stretchy soft CRZ YOGA Women’s Buttery Soft High Waisted Yoga Pants are ideal for those seeking a tight, soft-feel fit.

The leggings also feature a lengthy 28-inch inseam for a long-leg flattering look that will take you from your yoga mat to your sofa. To top it off there is a huge range of colours and patterns to choose from.

Obviously Adidas has a reputable name in the activewear industry, but does this big brand live up to its big name? Well, these leggings will certainly tick the boxes for the eco-conscious shoppers out there, as they are made from a mix of mostly recycled polyester, nylon and spandex, offering a comfy fit and secure feel.
These premium-running tights have also been designed with aeroknit technology to keep you cool and air away any moisture – so they’re perfect for high-intensity workouts.

With compression and comfort at their core, the Under Armour Women’s Rush Camo Leggings are designed specifically to keep sweat at bay and support you through even the toughest of workouts.
Featuring airy mesh panels for ventilation, anti-odour technology to keep you fresh and a unique mineral-infused fabric that’s specially crafted to absorb the bodies energy and reflect it back to the muscles – this high-tech pick is sure to take your workout to the next level.
They might be slightly pricier than other options, but if you’re willing to pay a little extra, the high-performing fabric and tight high-waist fit of these stylish leggings are worth every penny.

Sticking with the big-name brands, next up is the Reebok Women’s TS LUX Highrise Tight, with a tight and supportive nylon/spandex fabric that’s extremely stretchy too – you’ll have complete free-movement and support at the same time.
Featuring a wide high-waist band, flattering curved seams and even a side-stash pocket for when you’re on the go – there’s lots going for these stylish tights, but the price tag is on the higher side compared to other options.

Offering free movement and a supportive figure-hugging fit, the Adidas ‘Believe This’ High Rise Soft Tight are great for classes and keeping cool while you’re working up a sweat.
