Growing up in California, the only workout leggings I wore were cropped, so I feel uniquely qualified to speak about their benefits. Cropped leggings are the best option in the summertime because they give you enough breathing room, but they're not as exposed as shorts. Let's face it, you don't want to worry about accidentally showing too much in bootcamp or yoga, which is why a cropped legging is the perfect pick. Plus, there are now so many different silhouettes, and they're all so flattering. So whether you want to show just a hint of ankle or are more into a crop that comes just below the knee, we've got you covered.
From basic black to vibrant colours and fun patterns, these are the leggings you're going to live in all season long. Cropped leggings are here to stay, and these are the 12 picks we're coveting. Just keep reading to shop, and meet your new go-to silhouette.
