Speed Up Tight 28" Brushed Full-On Luxtreme, $118, lululemon.com
“My personal leggings platform: I am of the school that sweats are for lounging, and leggings are for exercise. Also, I am firmly against any leggings without pockets, because otherwise I absentmindedly stick my phone in the waistband, and it ends up halfway down my butt. Finally, I am extremely unimaginative about exercise gear in general (basically, I wear Lululemon, because I know what size I am, and their stuff is well-designed). For running, and general working out (aka, hiding from my children) in the basement, I like these leggings because they offer the right amount of compression/support, my phone doesn't fall out of the pocket, there's another pocket for my travel-sized hand sanitizer, plus one above the butt for my key.” –Gillian Grace, deputy editor
