The last thing you want to worry about during a workout is whether your tights have unexpectedly become see-through. The best pair of workout tights can be worn to the gym, yoga class, hiking—wherever your workout takes you—and remain completely, comfortably opaque. It can be tough to find workout leggings that don't end up transparent once you don them out for the first time—and by then it's already too late. The best way to find the perfect opaque leggings is by looking up the most positively reviewed pairs out there. Been looking for workout tights that won't go sheer but not looking for the research element? You're in luck because that's exactly what we've done. Keep reading to see which workout tights garnered the best reviews online, so the next time you're working out, your focus can stay where it should be: on working up a sweat.
Customers can't stop praising Alo's stylish design and comfortable fit that actually stays in place. One user wrote, "The tights fit very nice for my rigorous workouts with the fabric/tights staying in place."Available in sizes XS to L.
Within its 448 glowing reviews on Amazon, this pair of leggings was most praised for its perfectly sized phone pocket. This reviewer couldn't have said it better: "I thought these seemed well made, not see through, and had the all-important pocket. My phone fit snugly but not so tight that it was a hassle to get it in and out. I want these in shorts, too."Available in sizes XS to XL.
When Nike names a pair of workout tights "hyperwarm," they'd better live up to the claim. Reviewers on Nordstrom confirmed that these leggings are "perfect for days when the outside temperature falls below zero" and also loved that the stirrups kept the bottoms in place.Available in sizes XS to XL.
Customers love the retro-inspired design of this pair. One user explained how well they fit, too: "I'm 5'8 and 150 pounds. The medium size fit great. They are comfortable and look really nice as well."Available in sizes XS to XL.
These tights not only stay opaque but are also ideal for wintertime workouts—thermal grid fabric keeps heat insulated, so feel free to take your workout to the great outdoors.Available in sizes XS to XXL.
We'll just let this one review from Nordstrom do all the talking: "I was hesitant to purchase these leggings, because well, they're leggings for $50+, BUT it was the best decision I've ever made! These are the most comfortable leggings I've ever worn. They are thick enough not to be see through, and keep enough warmth in, but not too thick they make you sweat. The material is breathable and looks beautiful with every wash. If you're on the fence, buy them! You won't regret it!"Available in sizes XXS-XL.
Fans of these leggings by Beyond Yoga rave about the buttery soft fabric and sturdy construction. One user commented that they were "not see through at all." Available in sizes XXS to XL.
These high-waisted workout tights are supportive around the midsection. Added moto paneling lends just the right amount of edge so these can be worn outside the gym, too. (Go ahead—we won't tell.)Available in sizes XS to L.
Customers go so far as to describe these leggings as the best they've ever owned. "Hands down the most amazing fit and comfort I've ever experienced in workout clothes. High rise and stays put when working out. I'll never buy any other brand!" wrote one reviewer.Available in sizes 1X and 2X.
"I think I can wash these 100 times and they will still look great," says one fan of these capri leggings by Lucy. The fabric on these tights wicks away moisture, plus they include a compression waist to maintain a smooth silhouette.Available in size XS.
The reviews for Aenlley's workout tights are unanimous: You won't worry about these being see-through anytime soon. For this price, we'd say these are an absolute steal.One size fits all.
Fans of these workout leggings by Adidas say they are "not see through at all" and are super flexible during workouts. When it comes to quality, Adidas always delivers on workout gear.Available in sizes XS to XL.
With almost 200 five-star reviews, these workout tights by Zella are frequently noted for their opaqueness and compression fit.Available in sizes XXS to XL.
For the price, customers felt compelled to spend a bit more than they usually would on leggings, given Alo's amazing quality. One user got technical about the material, explaining, "The fabric of the uppers is substantial and not slippery which is important for aerial hoop and silks. The lower part has plenty of length to wear over your heels and still scrunch. I get compliments on them every time I wear them. Expensive but a worthy quality investment."Available in sizes XS to L.
Ivy Park's workout tights are a fan favorite for their comfy material and cool logo placement. One user said, "Great stretch, not see through and keep me warm. Perfect for working out or lounging around, I use them for both."Available in sizes XS to XL.
Now that you know the best, it's probably worth finding out the leggings you should avoid when hitting the gym too.
