Every workout wardrobe needs a pair of versatile leggings—and these high-waisted leggings from Athleta come highly recommended by Glamour senior commerce editor Jenifer Calle. “I’ve worn these leggings (with matching sports bra) to many reformer Pilates classes, and even a hot Pilates class in Fuze House NYC. I particularly like them for the gym when I’m on the stair master or strength training because they don’t ride down.”

She says no matter how much she sweats or stretches, the material remains soft, stretchy, and comfy. “In addition to wearing them to Pilates classes, I also regularly wear them to the gym or when I’m out running errands on the weekends.” Since they aren’t sheer, the leggings are great for squatting and they aren’t super long on the bottom, so they’re a top pick for short women.
