Best Summer Leggings From Old Navy | 2021

The Best Breathable Leggings at Old Navy, So You Can Breeze Through Summer Workouts

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Now, of course it's important to stock up on special workout gear while exercising outside in winter but the same holds true in summer, too. While you may be running in your favourite sports bra and biker shorts most often, when you want to wear leggings, you'll want something breathable to stay as cool as possible, no matter the forecast.

Cropped lengths are a top pick this season — as is anything with mesh cutouts — so we rounded up several of those styles, along with other lightweight options. Ahead, see the 15 pairs that best help you soak up the sun . . . and not your sweat.
