Cons
Not as many sizes
Yoga pants are back, baby—but with an update that brings the Y2k staple into 2022.

The fabric is buttery soft, and they have a waistband pocket for holding essentials during a long walk.

Fan Favorite Legging
Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant
Pros
Super soft
Lots of color options
Cons
Some don't like the new double-lined design
The Align leggings are among Lululemon's most recognizable pieces of apparel—and with good reason. Not only are they incredibly comfortable and flattering, but they are also great for walking, low-impact sports, and daily wear, in addition to their primary purpose as yoga pants. They also come in multiple length and color options, so it's easy to find one that's right for you.

Best Jogger
Lululemon Ready to Rulu High-Rise Jogger
Pros
Comfortable, relaxed fit
Moisture-wicking
Cons
May feel too heavy for some workouts
If you prefer your workout pants to have a looser fit, you may like this jogger. These are a bit of a thicker, more sweatpant-like material, but they are also moisture-wicking, so if you want to wear them to work out, they won't pool your sweat. They also have a drawstring, which helps keep them up and secure when you're walking or doing cardio.

Best Hiking Pant
lululemon Cargo Super-High-Rise Hiking Tight
Pros
Thick and durable
Lots of pockets
Cons
Won't protect your legs as much as a more durable hiking pant
As temperatures drop, you will want to swap out your hiking shorts for a pant or legging. These are flexible yet durable, which means they will stay comfortable as you clock mile after mile, and you don't have to worry about brushing up against a rock wall or pricker bush, thanks to their abrasion-resistant fabric. These also have multiple pockets, giving you plenty of room to keep your essentials, from keys to gels, within reach.

Best Cross-Training Legging
Lululemon Wunder Train High-Rise Crop 23
Pros
Thick, supportive fit
Soft to the touch
Cons
Runs small
A lot of Lululemon's leggings are focused on light exercise and yoga, but these cross-training leggings were made to work. Made with Everlux fabric, these are designed to be soft to the touch, and they dry faster and more efficiently than the brand's other fabrics. These have four-way stretch that moves with the body, and a tie at the waistband keeps them from falling down.

Best Running Legging
Lululemon All the Right Places High-Rise Drawcord Waist Crop 23
Pros
Won't move around
Fabric designed for friction reduction
Cons
Not a ton of color options
These leggings are extra high-waisted and have a drawstring at the waist, which helps keep them snug and secure when you're running. The fabric has four-way stretch and is both moisture-wicking and low-friction, which makes them feel like a second skin. The slight crop also keeps a bit of ankle skin bare, which can keep you cooler, and the leggings have both back and side pockets.

Best Casual Pant
Lululemon Throwback Still Pant
Pros
Super comfortable fit
Unique, elevated design
Cons
May be too long on shorter people
Prefer a looser fit? These are the pants for you. Perfect for yoga—or just lounging around—they have a snug high waist with a drawstring, and a wide-leg fit. They are incredibly soft and lightweight, and have both four-way stretch and lycra, the latter of which helps with shape retention.

Cropped Yoga Pant
Lululemon Groove Super-High-Rise Crop 23
Pros
Great for between seasons
Very soft and comfortable
Cons
May feel too short on some
If you were in elementary school in the early 2000s, you probably had a drawer full of capri yoga pants. But unlike many trends from that time period—we're looking at you, cargo pants and bucket hats—we're glad they are back. These are great for low-impact workouts, a light jog, or casual wear.
Available in eight cute colors and made of super-soft materials, they're about as lightweight and comfortable as any workout pants out there.
