"Who needs pockets?!" (Um, said no one, ever.) From dresses [1] to sweats [2], some place to slip your stuff is at least a very-nice-to-have, if not absolutely mandatory. Of course, when plans include outdoor workouts [3] or other excursions where you don't want to carry a bag [4], grabbing a pair of leggings with a roomy pocket [5] — or pockets! — can save your whole hands-free day.
We browsed a bunch of Old Navy pairs from crops to full-length and picked out 13 that deserve a closer look. There are front pockets, side pockets, flap pockets, and hidden pockets, too, so check 'em all out ahead.

If a slip-in or zipped pocket isn't for you, these Old Navy High-Waisted PowerPress Cargo 7/8-Length Compression Leggings [12] ($15-$30, originally $35) have two flap pockets on the thighs. (Oh, and if you have a lot of stuff, there are two additional hip pockets as well.)

Old Navy High-Waisted PowerSoft Rib-Paneled 7/8-Length Leggings
Switch up standard black tights for these Old Navy High-Waisted PowerSoft Rib-Paneled 7/8-Length Leggings [14] ($45). Not only are there diagonal pockets on each side, but there's also a nice ribbed detail down below (which is even more visible in the mauve alternative).

Old Navy High-Waisted PowerSoft Side-Pocket Crop Leggings — 16.5-Inch Inseam
We like these Old Navy High-Waisted PowerSoft Side-Pocket Crop Leggings — 16.5-Inch Inseam [19] ($18-$30, originally $37) for their shorter-than-average length, but the same style comes in a standard crop [20] as well.
