How many times have you struggled to keep your lower body warm while wearing workout leggings as winter warmers? Chances are if you run, jog, walk, or spend a lot of time outdoors during the wintertime, that number is most likely high.
Let’s face it; most workout leggings are designed to provide maximum breathability and moisture management, often sacrificing softness, comfort, and warmth in the process. Enter cotton leggings, which are often touted as the ideal everyday loungewear – not exactly meant for intense workouts but perfect for lounging, running errands, and as cold weather warmers.
We absolutely love the fairly thick, ultra-soft, and opaque yet lightweight and cozy cotton material. It’s a great legging material that you want to have on to fight off the seasonal chill. It’s also quite absorbent, making it an excellent choice for low-impact activities like yoga, pilates, and barre.
You can find multiple cotton leggings on Amazon, Target, and other major marketplaces, and they come with many different features, designs, and styles to choose from. But the one we’re focusing on in this review is the crowd-favorite: Spalding Women’s Essential Capri Legging.
Even before we could order these high-cotton Capri leggings, we couldn’t help but notice that Amazon users are obsessed with them, with the latest version receiving more than 10,000 five-rating from enthusiastic reviewers in a matter of a few months. And we understood why these leggings are all the rage right out of the box – they’re the perfect everyday pair.
Featuring 92% cotton and 8% spandex, these essential leggings are thick and plush enough that we don’t need to don our trusty oversized sweatshirts or extremely long tees. We’re also impressed by the quality of construction and knitting, as you cannot see through them all (and we mean, at all).
The effect of spandex in the design is quite tangible and noticeable from the first time we touched and put on the leggings. The soft fabric is tight yet the whole design offers a high level of stretch, making it easy to put on and slip off the leggings (not that we needed to, as they’re amazingly versatile and too comfortable to remove).
Another great aspect of these cotton-rich leggings is that they’re durable and built to last. And we’re definitely not the only ones who think these leggings are superb in this regard. Amazon reviewer Kristy says, “The first pair of these I owned for at least 5 year before getting a hole in the thighs from them rubbing together. But $12 for that long….so worth it! I keep buying them! They’re way more slimming than any other workout pants I’ve owned. Try them!” 6/25/2021.
Talking of the cost, these babies come at a very low price point, which is really impressive given that they’re lightweight, comfortable, and the fabric is of exceptional quality. The versatility is the name of the game here – we can vouch for these leggings’ versatility when it comes to casual wear and for anything workout, from jogging to yoga.
The real icing on the cake is the thick and extra-wide waistband that provides added tummy control, support, and a slim fit. We think the sturdy and stretchy waistband gives these Capri leggings a nice shape and makes them feel structured and slimming. We don’t know what we’d do without these beauties for workouts and everyday wear.
When it comes to comfort and softness, thousands of happy wearers cannot be wrong. These leggings are some of the best-rated items of loungewear currently on Amazon. A raving Amazon reviewer notes: “These are the best pants ever! Buy them! They’re so soft and comfy to sleep in or lounge in and they’re super light and airy for working out.” 6/25/2021.
The good thing is that there are multiple colors to choose from when shopping for these cotton leggings. We tried them all, and they’re hands down some of the best we’ve ever worn. Of course, we prefer classic black and camo, but you can order charcoal, ultra navy, sunkissed coral, or navy blazer, as well to mix up your wardrobe.
We also find the Capri cut to be quite lovely, especially during the hot weather. They allow us to subtly show off our best socks, and they go perfectly well with any sock, from ankle socks and boot socks to novelty socks and even over-the-knee socks.
As fitness lovers, we value flexibility in our leggings, and these are functional, versatile, and comfy. We think you’d love to gift them to your mom, daughter, sibling, mother-in-law, coworkers, etc. They certainly make the best gift idea for her.
