The coming end of another year (yup, it’s already November!) can only mean one thing: It’s time to hit refresh on your workout wardrobe. And leggings—whether the classic LBLs (little black leggings) or the craziest of prints—should be at the top of your must-buy list. Why? They are perfect for going from the gym to brunch, and let’s face it, the ones you bought last year (and have worn twice a week since) are really getting worn out.
Below, check out our top 8 picks, chosen for quality and style.
