The best thing about leggings is how versatile they are. Whether you're going for a morning jog, post-work Bikram session, or weekend brunch, you can definitely find leggings for the occasion. But that almost makes picking a pair that much more difficult.
And when it comes to yoga (or any workout, really), you've got to look for a few specific things. The most important factor is comfort, of course. But that doesn't just mean the fabric (although that definitely helps). These days, leggings may come with flat-locked seams that don't irritate your skin, mesh panels to keep you cool and dry in the right places, and extra-supportive waistbands to avoid sagging. Combined, these elements make sure your favorite pair is both cute and effective.
Click through to see 31 of our favorite pairs of leggings, designed with plus-sized bodies in mind. These will definitely get you through yoga class — and then some.
