We\u2019ve made it a point to cover some high-end brands as well as some that will leave a little green in your pocket. If you\u2019re buying online, you can check different sites like the manufacturer\u2019s own or Amazon for free shipping and sales, but be sure to check fit and sizing charts carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n The best workout pants wick moisture away from the skin. This is especially important for clingy or extremely tight-fitting leggings.<\/span> Look for leggings that are advertised as seamless to deliver the best comfort.

While leggings are often worn by dancers, the difference between leggings vs. tights is that tights must be worn under another garment.<\/span><\/p>\n Always check the laundering and care instructions for each brand of leggings, especially for more expensive pairs.
