Workout leggings have become the pant of choice for running miles, running errands, and even running Gilmore Girls marathons on Netflix. (We support all three.) And that means they now come in all kinds of patterns and styles to cater to every type of body, activity, and preference.
The best news? More budget-friendly brands have gotten in on the trend, offering tons of options that don’t cost a ton of money (but still perform!).

So whether you’re on the hunt for a new black staple for HIIT class or something that’ll add a little pop of color to your barre routine, we’ve got you covered—with seven pairs that all cost $40 or less.
