If you haven't given in to the stretchy call of workout leggings (whether you're working out or not), now's the time to take the plunge. They're unbeatable when it comes to the practical-yet-comfortable genre of dressing that you get with gym wear - and they can look surprisingly polished. Wear yours with a supersized hoodie à la Kaia Gerber. Or, channel Hailey Bieber, who wear hers with comfy casuals for trips to the gym/coffee shop for green juice.
Remember that if you're working out, always look for technical fabrics and clever design details. Alo Yoga is a favourite of Bieber's - not to mention Victoria Beckham's - and has the most 'grammable selection of leggings we've seen with sumptuous shades like dark plum, iced tea green and teal agate.
What with a mixture of hybrid working and heading to the gym, shops or office, we're still spending a lot of time dressed in multi-purpose workout wear. For leggings that will fast become your favourites, look for styles that have a pocket for your phone - Vuori's Studio Pocket Legging is one of our flattering and functional go-tos - and a sculpted, supportive waistband.
Varley has brilliant prints, Lululemon is the gold-standard in terms of do-it-all leggings, Ernest Leoty is your one-stop-shop for beautiful block colours that will make you feel motivated (or a little more cheerful, at the very least).
Gymshark, the hugely successful brand seen on many gym goer, is also one to watch when it comes to leggings (although its sports bras, long-sleeved tops and jackets are also worth adding to your basket).
