If you’re new to the world of Fabletics, all you need to know is that with a subscription, you can pick out new activewear (like a pair of leggings) every month. Oh, and that they stock some of the most popular workout gear in the world! But start with one of the best Fabletics leggings!

Introduction: What is Fabletics?

Founded by actress Kate Hudson, the company is best known for its wide range of booty-sculpting, body-contouring leggings. In a brief moment, you’ll discover the best Fabletics leggings available right now.

Word on the street is that Fabletics rival famous brands like Lululemon when it comes to price, quality, and product offering. It comes as no surprise that this brand has accrued a huge fan base globally.

Before we get down to the details. In no particular order, these are the best Fabletics leggings worth adding to your arsenal:

How Does Fabletics Work?

Much like JustFab and ShoeDazzle, Fabletics is a clothing subscription service geared towards fashion-obsessed fitness lovers. With your Fabletics VIP subscription, you can shop their extensive catalog of premium fitness and athleisure pieces at a significantly discounted price.

Throughout the year, you can shop as much or as little as you like – with a hefty VIP discount. Alternatively, either opt to skip a month with no hassle, or wait and let the standard $49.95 monthly VIP membership fee go through, which you can redeem as a store credit at your leisure.

If Fabletics is anything like JustFab, their sister brand, you can skip months without getting charged at the beginning of the month. Plus you still retain access to your VIP membership if you decide to shop after skipping the month.

Today we’ll be taking a look at the many different styles they offer in their vast range of luxury sports leggings, to help you decide which might be right for you.

Fabletics Fabrics 101: Best Suited For…

As you can see from the table above, there are five key styles of Fabletics yoga pants. Let’s take a more in-depth look at each fabric type:

POWERHOLD – Best Leggings for Sports

Easily their most popular legging, the PowerHold style offers maximum compression, for the ultimate hold-you-in silhouette you’ll be proud to show off, no matter where you are. They also have UPF 50+ sun protection, for working out on hot summer days.

Speaking of sweaty weather, you’ll feel supported no matter what, as the PowerHold signature fabric effectively wicks away moisture like no other. With an all-way stretch, they’re ideal for any activity but especially great for sports (even marathon!).

The PowerHold pants have been successful since the beginning of Fabletics. And these leggings have the most options when it comes to styles, colors, and prints. For bold and bright or subtle and sculpting, you can’t go wrong with a pair of PowerHolds.

MOTION365 – Best All-Rounder Leggings

With slightly less compression than the PowerHolds, though still offering superior support, the Motion365 activewear is Fabletics’ most versatile design. That’s probably why they’re recommended for wear during any activity and workouts!

Motion365 are incredibly resilient, whilst retaining a soft, silky-smooth feel. This fabric is designed to offer the benefits of sculpting AND maximum breathability, all in one go. Made from state of the art, high-performance fabrics, Motion365 are truly the yoga pants of the future.

For those who struggle to stay cool when they’re giving it their all, these are great at better regulating your body temperature, without losing the seductive sculpt that makes Fabletics leggings such a popular choice.

SCUPLTKNIT – Best Training Leggings

To find the freedom of movement curated by seamless leggings, without losing out on that all-important compression, SculptKnit offers the best of both worlds. The moisture-wicking fabric AND body mapping technology will flatter your shape.

Unlike other alternatives, these styles of leggings will stay exactly where they are: no sliding down or thank tugging and pulling necessary. You’ll look good, feel good and perform at your best.

These sleek leggings cling to every curve, but only in a way that’s as functional as it is flattering.

Added mesh panels make strategic ventilation even easier, without compromising the aesthetic of the design. And with the current Fabletics VIP prices, you can get an entire outfit without breaking the bank.

SEAMLESS – Best Yoga leggings

If you’re looking for yoga pants that feel natural, like a second skin, then the Fabletics Seamless range is just what you need. With the light compression of the elastane fabric, these have an everyday feel, which means they just might become your next go-to pair.

Regular practitioners of Yoga will know you need to be able to move as freely as possible and stay completely comfortable. The minimalist, yet the soft and breathable design is ideal, even for the most difficult, intricate positions.

Given they look less like sportswear than some of the other options, you’ll probably find yourself reaching for these even if you’re just lazing around the house. Like sweatpants, leggings are the perfect loungewear in 2022.

PURELUXE – Best Dancer’s Leggings

As you may have guessed, these leggings are pure luxury, boasting a buttery-soft feel that you won’t be able to keep your hands off. Like the seamless style, the spandex fabric has non-restrictive wear. PureLuxe forgiving fabrics offer light-medium compression.

Not only professional dancers need a combination of moisture-wicking, freedom of movement, and plenty of support.

These leggings offer exactly that, and you’ll struggle to find all three presented in a prettier package elsewhere. 

Thanks to this smoothing finish, you’ll notice that there’s a sort of sheen to all of the PureLuxe design, and because of their texture, staying in place is a little more difficult to achieve than with the PowerHolds. PureLuxe won’t let you down, though!

Best Fabletics Leggings – The Only Leggings You’ll Live In?

Now we’ve had a look at the different fabrics used for their key styles, let’s have a look at some of Fabletics most popular styles and top sellers.

Before we get started, it’s important to note the following:

• All Fabletics leggings are available in a variety of custom lengths: whether that’s full, capri, cropped, or 7/8, you will find your dream inseam for every style
• Similarly, there’s no size variation (though availability may differ from pair to pair) per category, as most styles are available in any size, from XXS to 4XL, so no need for compromises
• It’s possible to get different fit styles, too, so if you’re a high-rise hero or more of a superstar, you’ll be able to find your perfect pair
• You’ll also notice that each legging style has tens, if not hundreds, of possible prints to choose from, with more lines added every day – shop around to find your favorites, using the wide variety of filters that the site offers
• One thing I really love is that Fabletics show their leggings on a variety of model sizes, not just the conventionally attractive ones – click through each model to see exactly how the leggings would fit someone of your body type!

1: High-Waisted SculptKnit Essential Legging – $49.95

Adjustable, moisture-wicking, and chafe resistant, the high-waisted SculptKnit leggings are a range of one of Fabletics’ biggest sellers, especially in a high waist. With a shapewear inspired waistband, they compress in all the right places.

Available in Black, Vermillion, Blue Nova, Shadow, and Dark Jade, this is a simple legging that works well as a staple in your workout gear collection. With targeted compression and breathability, they’re ideal for gym-goers.

Plus, if you’d like a customized length for your leggings, the advanced SculptKnit fabric is fray-resistant.

All you need to do is cut them to your preferred inseam – there are even perforated lines to indicate traditional ‘short’, ‘regular’, and ‘long’ lengths!

70% of customers reported a true to size fit, with 15% suggesting they feel a half size too small and 11% indicating it’s more like a full size. With that in mind, you might want to consider going up a size, depending on how much ‘suck-in’ you want.

As they’re such a popular design, it can be tricky to pick them up in your size as and when you want them. Be sure to keep an eye out and regularly check their stock – if you see ‘em, add ‘em to your cart ASAP, ‘cause they won’t be there long!

Pros:

• Compressive yet comfortable SculptKnit fabric
• Breathable, with adjustable length (cut your own)
• Best suited for gym/workout sessions
• Multiple color options to suit your style

Cons:

• Only the ‘jade’ leggings are available in size 4X

2: High-Waisted Powerhold Legging – $49.95

Another firm fan favorite is the high-waisted PowerHold leggings – you could go as far as saying these are the most popular leggings Fabletics have ever had! Choose between short, regular, and tall inseam for a fit that truly fits your form.

They were the very first pair of Fabletics Leggings to be made high-waisted – with a whole host more in their wake – featuring a power mesh-lined waistband to provide you with extra support and a flattering, streamlined silhouette.

Cleverly designed to provide all-way stretch, as well as chafe resistance and UPF protection, they offer the ultimate in compression for a flattering figure whether you’re squatting or star jumping, indoors or outside. Bonus points for moisture-wicking, too.

As if that wasn’t enough, these bad boys have hidden pockets. Yes, you read that correctly. If you’re heading out for a quick run or making stops in between the gym, these can be a real lifesaver. 

In terms of fit, 86% of customers believed them to be true to size, whilst only 9% saying it feels a half size too small, so it’s easy enough to figure out which to opt for. These basic everyday essentials are available in Black, Dark Rouge, Teal, and Gray.

3: Oasis High-Waisted Pocket Capri – $49.95

Cut from their light as air PureLuxe fabric, these capris are perfect for yoga lovers, making them an excellent gift for the yogini in your life. A hand-brushed, barely-there finish allows a full range of motion whether on the mat or on the go.

Being lined, chafe-resistant, and moisture-wicking, the Oasis Pocket Capri work excellently for all of that bending and breathing, whilst UPF protection is additionally beneficial for those who like to praise the sun directly beneath it.

You’ll also notice it has that trademark Fabletics all-way stretch, as well as an external pocket – that, combined with the perfect cut, provides you with all of the freedom to move without the hassle of a seamless, pocketless design.

Fit is one of the most successful: whilst most customers (88%) would agree they fit true to size, others believe they can either run a half size too large or a half size too small. Peruse the reviews to find out what’s best for your height and size!

As they only offer a medium to light compression – depending on which size you go for – the Oasis Pocket Capri don’t offer as much sculpting as some of the other ranges. That makes sense for yoga, but it might not be what you’re after if you want to make your butt pop.

4: Trinity High-Waisted Utility Legging – $59.95

Next up is a longstanding member of the Trinity family, serving as an ideal everyday legging. With two easily accessed hip pockets and an additional invisible zip in the back, the Utility style is ideal if you want to leave your purse at home.

Thanks to their revolutionary Motion365 fabric, you’ll look good and stay comfortable as you run errands; combining the classic Fabletics high-compression sculpting benefits with added breathability, you’ll stay sweat-free and polished on the go.

For a full range of motion whatever the occasion, you won’t do better. The Trinity Utility Leggings are moisture-wicking, chafe resistant, and have that all-way stretch, fitting like a glove with no need to constantly adjust. Did I mention those three pockets?!

Silky smooth to the touch, they’re available in a whole heap of different colors (when they’re actually in stock, which is rare!) from Lapis Lazuli blue to Safari red. Pick out a few different colors and you have a brand new, totally wearable daytime wardrobe.

As for the fit, 85% of shoppers would mark them as True to Size, whilst 9% believe they feel a half size too small. If you want a less compressing fit, you might do better to size up, just in case, but their excellent return policy has you covered anyway.

5: High-Waisted Seamless Legging – $49.95

Prefer a sleeker, seam-free legging for yoga? This range, cut from their Seamless fabric, fits like a second skin. Still offering you some gentle compression, without impacting your flexibility, you can take a stroll or hit the studio in this pair.

You’ll have no trouble staying comfortable, as the Seamless leggings are equally resistant to sweat and chafing – it’s easy to forget that you’re wearing anything at all! You can stay in a downward-facing dog – and other bendy positions – for as long as you need to.

Though they aren’t quite the sculpting marvels that some of Fabletics’ other ranges have proven to be, the Seamless sets are incredibly flattering. If you want to look as good as you feel, I’d highly recommend these for a confidence boost.

Sizing can be a little trickier here – as these are more for lounging and stretching than squatting, though 77% of customers believe they are true to size, a significant 15% found they came in at a half size too big. Be sure to pick your perfect inseam!

6: Anywhere High-Waisted Legging – $54.95

For those ladies seeking a true everyday legging – one you really can wear everywhere and do anything you want in – you’ve found it in the Fabletics Anywhere range. These leggings do exactly what it says on the tin.

What else could they be made from but the revolutionary Motion365 fabric, suited for whatever occasion you desire. Providing plenty of sculpting and shaping, without compromising on breathability, you’ll look good and feel even better.

Thanks to the resilient nylon composition, their state-of-the-art design allows you to move freely, without losing that all-important chafe-resistance and moisture-wicking. There’s even a cheeky hidden pocket internally – forget about taking your purse!

Soft to the touch and streamlined, your fellow Fabletics fans report these fit 89% true to size, with 6% suggesting they might run a half size small. Use your intuition and order accordingly – you want them to move with you, not against you!

7: Mila High-Waisted Pocket Legging – $54.95

Want to be Insta-ready 24/7, even when you’re working out? The Mila range makes for a great on the go legging, equipped with a perfectly phone-sized hidden pocket, so you don’t need to worry about carrying a tote while you run!

With their iconic all-way stretch, sweat-soaking capabilities, UPF protection and added chafe resistance, these high-waisted pocket leggings are fantastic for amateur or hardcore athletes alike. Whether you’re squatting, running, or at spin class, they won’t let you down.

Choose from a short, regular, or tall inseam for your ideal fit – 87% of customers suggest it is true to size, whilst 8% believe they run a half size too small. Do with that information what you will, but there’s no harm in sizing up.

In their signature PowerHold fabric, you’ll easily achieve maximum compression. If you want to flatter your figure for those neighborhood runs, without risking rips and tears or unpleasant tightness, your search is over!
