What color should I choose for my next leggings?

How do I find the right color for workout clothes?

Buying workout clothes can be both fun and challenging because there are so many options to choose from in terms of shape, function, and colors. Don't worry, here is the ultimate color guide for leggings to hopefully make your choice easier next time you shop for activewear.

Collections by Color

If you're looking for leggings in a specific color, we have dedicated collections for leggings in the colors black, beige, grey, blue, purple, red, green, and pink.

Workout Leggings in Light Colors

Light colors can often give a more feminine touch, and if you're training outdoors in the sun, they won’t get as warm as darker colors. Light colors can also boost your mood and make your workout more fun! If you want a more feminine or "soft" look, a light pink or peach-colored pair of leggings might be just what you need. We recommend, among others, the pink Motion leggings or a peach-colored Elevate Wave 2 leggings. Another option is our pink Pink Motion Leggings, Peachy Scrunch, or Pure leggings. When choosing leggings in light colors, it’s worth considering that not all will be squatproof if you select a smaller size. Read more about our best squat-proof workout leggings here!

Workout Leggings in Dark Colors

Dark colors often look either tough or stylish, and we believe that black leggings are a timeless staple everyone should have in their wardrobe. Another advantage of dark leggings is that they hide sweat stains more easily, so if you're worried about that or are planning an especially intense workout, it might be wise to invest in darker leggings. Some of our favorites are the Tone Leggings, Suave Tights, and Rib leggings. We also recommend Camo leggings and Tie Dye Scrunch leggings.

Bright colors attract attention and can also make you feel more energetic! If you’re the type who likes to stand out in the crowd or needs a little extra motivation to boost your energy during a workout, the Vortex leggings or Vortex leggings 2 are great options.

Patterned Workout Leggings

Patterned leggings are great for refreshing your workout wardrobe with something unique and maybe a bit more exciting than solid-colored leggings, plus there are so many fun designs to choose from. Patterned leggings can be a fun statement piece, and you can mix and match with a wide selection of colored, neutral, or matching tops. The possibilities are endless! Some of our favorites with patterns include Tie Dye Scrunch Leggings and Camo Leggings.

Matching Sets - Leggings and Tops

You can of course mix and match colors however you like when it comes to workout clothes, and there's plenty of room for creativity here! However, we find something especially satisfying about a matching set, whether patterned, solid, black, or white. Some of our favorite sets include:

Softy leggings matched with Softy Crop Top, or Endurance leggings and Endurance Sports Bra

Black Workout Leggings

Black leggings are the color everyone wears - black or dark. The great thing about black workout leggings is that they go with everything. You can easily match the leggings with any color top, shoes, and look amazing. For many, it’s important that the leggings are not see-through, and we have a wide selection of black leggings that are not see-through. Additionally, our workout leggings are squat proof.
