How we chose

We are OVI, so every pick on this list is one of our own styles. We started from leggings priced under $20 that are in stock, then compared fabric composition, the number of colours and the size range, and chose one standout for each need rather than seven near-identical pairs.

We did not test other brands for this list. If you want to see how our prices and fabric blends compare with well-known brands, read our leggings comparison.

What to look for in cheap leggings

Price is not the best guide to quality; the fabric line is. Check three things on the product page before you buy.

  • Fabric: a nylon-spandex blend feels smooth and holds its shape; more spandex means more stretch.
  • Waistband: a high, wide waistband stays put better during bending and stretching.
  • Opacity: check it yourself with our see-through test in good daylight before your first workout.
