INSANE: I practically live in cross waist leggings and after testing these are the most supportive stylish and comfortable pairs - The Real Truth

Sophie and Ally wearing various pairs of the best cross waist leggings tested in this guide.

If you're anything like me, you have a complicated relationship with leggings. After living in them when they were all the rage during the early 2010s, I sternly rejected all types of form-fitting bottoms in favour of spacious and baggy silhouettes that I found made me more comfortable (and were more 'on trend'). But since investing in several pairs of cross-waist leggings for exercise and leisure, I am once again a legging fanatic.

Sure, they may not be hugely different to regular workout leggings, but I have always found that the cross-over waist style is not only more supportive and less slippy around my waist (making them a joy to exercise in) but also infinitely more stylish, meaning my athleisure game has really stepped up - and that I can wear them for more occasions than just working out.
