Women’s Pants and Leggings: Our Top Picks You Should Buy

There is something about settling into active routines that transcends beyond physical improvement in studios, gyms, or on trails, into all areas of our lives and mental well-being. Movement not only inspires energy and activity, but brings focus, tranquility, and awareness into our relationships, work, and self-care. At Skuxs, we are constantly seeking this seamless mesh, in design, pieces, and brands we partner with.  

Noli Yoga

After a long day at work, I transitioned straight into a yoga class, when my friend eyed my pants “Where are those from? Are they leather?” I laughed as I spilled my secret. Noli Yoga’s humble claim of going from athleisure to yoga couldn’t be truer as their yoga pants are a great companion. Noli’s collection is micro-focused on functional luxury activewear. So, instead of just being inspired by the beauty of athleisure and loungewear, they bring quality to practical clothing. Then, they go beyond that and look at collections from an edgy, fashion-forward vantage, putting movement first, giving rise to new fabrications, seamless wear, and design.

Our top pick is Noli’s Liquid Legging, a versatile legging with a flattering fit and metallic look made with Brazillian fabric and flatlock stitching.

•       Moisture wicking
•       Xtra Life Lycra for resilience and longevity
•       The Liquid Legging also comes in 7/8 length
•       Machine washable

Make it a set with the Liquid Studio Bra in Black Gloss. And to complete the double duty look, pair the outfit with the Women's Osito Hybrid Full Zip Jacket by The North Face during the day (or evening).

 Alo Yoga

Alo Yoga captures our hearts with their fresh colour palettes and collections built to be worn on the mat, and in other parts of your life. Their initiatives include spreading mindful movement, harnessing a community of yogis around the world, and instilling the healing power of yoga.

Soft, versatile, and chic, what sets Alo Yoga apart is the subtle, but appreciated talent they put into designing clothing. Alo’s pieces are built for movement, with designs that outlast seasons and trends. Our favourites in women’s leggings are the Womens High-Waist Seamless Moto Legging and the Womens High-Waist Airbrush Legging. Both are crafted with Alo’s signature sculpting Airbrush and glossy performance fabric, with a 4-way stretch and high waist. The feel is butter soft, with a suppleness that gently wraps you up, sculpts and lifts.

The best part is, when woven into a seamless finish, the fabric moves with your movements and flows naturally. Alo takes its durable fabric blends and transforms it into flattering pieces like the Motos and Airbrush leggings.

The Motos

The studio-to-day, patented Moto leggings have quilted-style stitching on contrast glossy fabric, moisture-wicking properties, and antimicrobial technology. Think contouring mixed matte/shine fabric, mesh paneling and pintucked detailing. Slip them on under a sweater and you can see yourself at work, then easily transition to the studio, with simplicity and elegance. Trust us, you will not want to take these off.

•   Sculpting Airbrush Fabric
•   Pintuck Stitching
•   4-Way Stretch
•   Moisture-wicking
•   Machine washable

The Airbrush

These are a wardrobe staple; the Airbrush are the ideal leggings to wear when the chill sets in. Ultralight and double-knit, compressive but smooth, with a next to nothing feel, they are the best on the mat. Again here, the fabric is ultra breathable, with enough stretch for a morning mountain hike or an evening run by the shore. Pair with the Women’s Alosoft Base Bra then move into your day with them, slipping on a cropped sweater and sneakers. 

•   Sculpting Airbrush Fabric
•   4-Way Stretch
•   Moisture-wicking
•   Machine Washable
