Real talk: No one wants to walk into a workout feeling uncomfortable in their gear. Not only could it mess with your performance, but it can also affect your confidence. Well, the good news is that athletic wear designers agree, and many of our favorite brands have recently released high-waisted leggings that hug your body in all the right places. TBH, you’ll feel so good, you might even ditch your shirt and just go straight sports bra. These 10 stylish picks work for a variety of workouts from the trail to the treadmill, but we call out what we liked them for best below.

1. Best for HIIT: Lululemon Wunder Under 7/8 Hi-Rise Tight

These form-fitting leggings feel like a second skin. The lightweight, sweat-wicking material makes them great for high-intensity efforts, but it has enough stretch to keep them from feeling restrictive or suffocating.
