Finding the best leggings on Amazon should be considered an art form. Sorting through so many styles and descriptions—rise, waistband, material, thickness, stitching, breathability, price—can take hours. Is there even such a thing as the perfect pair when there are literally thousands of brands with near-identical black leggings? Yes, there is, and the mega-retailer’s detailed, unflinchingly honest reviews are the key to narrowing down your options. (The same can be said for finding the best sports on Amazon.)

From helpful pictures and videos to lengthy treatises that read like novels, customer feedback gives you a taste of exactly what you’re putting in your cart, whether it’s a viral TikTok product or the famous Colorfulkoala leggings.

First of all, pockets. Second, these leggings are soft, breathable, and perfect for all workouts, from running to yoga. Better yet, they come in sizes XXS through XL. But seriously, let’s get back to the main event: pockets that actually fit a large phone!
ICYMI: Amazon shoppers are very into these viral TikTok leggings. These textured “butt-sculpting tights” are the number one bestseller in Amazon's Women's Workout & Training Leggings category, offering a booty-boosting fit in addition to a comfortable, high-stretch fabric.

If you thought these leggings were a thing of the past, you were wrong.
