Leggings are everything to Us — but there are still some pairs out there that are lacking. One of the main aspects we use to decide if a pair of leggings is worth it or not is whether or not the material is squat-proof. Can we squat without the material becoming totally see-through?
Below, you can shop 17 pairs of leggings we love that are designed to remain opaque so you can lift and stretch comfortably even in a crowded gym. Prices start under $10. Let’s go!
