Well, today marks almost a full year of wearing nothing but leggings. Fine, that may be a slight exaggeration, but it feels like leggings and matching sets have become the norm, whether we're actually being active or not.
It turns out, when it comes to unique workout tights, woman-owned [1] brand Alala [2] has some of the most stylish, high-quality ones we've seen, with several even tempting as leggings-as-pants [3] to wear with heels or boots. We can never have too many [4], and picking up a pair means we're getting four pants in one since we can lounge in them, dress them up or down for daily activities, and, of course, wear them for our favourite workouts [5], too.
It was an exercise, but we picked our 21 favourite pairs, and we absolutely love that several of these styles are found in sizes up to 3X as well. Check them all out ahead.
Alala Captain Ankle Tight
It's hard to describe the liquid black material of the Alala Captain Ankle Tight [7] ($110) and Alala Captain Crop Tight [8] ($105) unless you've seen it in person, but easy to see how they'll become the leggings you want to slip on with boots or heels when you're not working out, too.
Alala Surf Tight
Meant to look like a wetsuit, the Alala Surf Tight [9] ($125) still stands out on shore.
Alala Base Tight
Look holiday-ready thanks to all the little palm trees adorning the Alala Base Tight [10] ($110).
Alala Vamp Tight
If you don't have white workout gear in your wardrobe yet, may we introduce you to the Alala Vamp Tight in White [11] ($115) and the Alala Vamp Tight in White with White Rib [12] ($115), too?
Alala Heroine Tight
If you want compression leggings, both the colorblock Alala Heroine Tight in Teal [13] ($110) and the Alala Heroine Tight in Black + Liquid Black [14] ($110) come in sizes XS-3X.
Alala Aphrodite Tight
You can't go wrong with pockets . . . especially when the gold-trimmed ones on the Alala Aphrodite Tight [15] ($125) look so good.
Alala Mirage Tight
The Alala Mirage Tight [16] ($125) are dressier than normal leggings as the side cutouts are like actual textured stockings.
Alala Peak Tight
These matte Alala Peak Tight [17] ($125) in ruby red make you pretty much unmissable on outdoor runs.
Alala Bolt Tight
The powermesh waistband on the Alala Bolt Tight [18] ($135) ensures they stay up during workouts from barre to bootcamp.
Alala Blocked Crop Tight
When you want a shorter style, we especially love the Alala Blocked Crop Tight [19] ($105).
Alala Love Tight
Channel your inner superhero on workouts or errand-running, thanks to the platinum Alala Love Tight [20] ($125).
Alala Essential Seamless Tight
The name's no lie as these leggings can be your everyday go-to. Now, do you prefer the Alala Essential Seamless Tight in Army [21] ($95), the Alala Essential Seamless Tight in Oxblood [22], the Alala Essential Seamless Tight in Navy [23] ($95), or the Alala Essential Seamless Tight in Black [24] ($95)?
Alala Trailblazer Tight
The Alala Trailblazer Tight [25] ($135) is more like a pair of very slim-fitting joggers, and there are pockets for outdoor workouts, too.
Alala Lithium Tight
We bet you'll want to grab a crop top to show off the waist detail of the Alala Lithium Tight [26] ($135).
Alala Raya Rib Tight
Who would guess the Alala Raya Rib Tight [27] ($110) are actually workout pants when you pair with a blazer or leather jacket instead?
Alala Velvet Tight
These smooth Alala Velvet Tight [28] ($125) are great for yoga poses (and simply posing for pictures, too).
Alala Primary Tight
While we love the Alala Primary Tight in Liquid Navy [29] ($85), there are actually six colours of Primary Tights [30] to choose from coming in either ankle or 7/8 lengths.
Alala Thermal Tight
If you zoom in, you can see the textured jacquard pattern on the cosy Alala Thermal Tight [31] ($115)
Alala Mirage Tight
No basic black leggings here as we love the ribbing, pockets, and ankle detail on this Alala Mirage Tight [32] ($125).
Alala Cinch Tight
We'd wear the super-shiny, ruched Alala Cinch Tight [33] ($125) for mat workouts and everyday activities, too.
Alala Nice Tight
We're hypnotized by the zigzag patter and jogger-like ankle detail on the Alala Nice Tight [34] ($125).
