7 Leggings That Will Make Your Butt Look Amazing

By Jessica Migala, Women's Health

Whether you live in leggings or are still on the fence about them, one thing’s for sure: They don’t exactly hide anything. Camel toe can be an issue, the shapes of your legs and butt are on full display, and if you have a few lumps (you are a human being, after all), some leggings can even show that off. Besides, you’re only as tall as, well, your legs. Everyone knows what you’re working with. Let’s let that be a good thing.

The brilliant peeps at the helm of designing leggings today know what they’re doing. They’re adding cutting-edge technology to their fabric that keeps everything snug, opting for high-waisted panels and compression features to enhance your shape, and giving the illusion of lift with well-placed prints and other smart details. Simply put: leggings are now actively trying to give you a damn fine derriere. So if you thought that leggings didn’t do it for you in the past, now is the time to really jump in and give them another try.

We scoured the internet for some of the best leggings out that that will flatter your butt. They’re comfy, some are cozy, and all look amazing on. You’ll feel confident sporting these body-hugging styles whether you’re heading to the gym for a serious weights session, testing out your new half moon pose at yoga, meeting the girls for a mimosa Sunday Funday, or kicking it around home. (Dance your way fit with High-Intensity Dance Cardio, the first-ever socanomics DVD!)

Gymshark Flex Leggings

One look at the rear of these and you know they’re designed to give you a round tush, whether you have one IRL or not. The seamless knit means there’s no crack seam, so your butt—and only your butt—is on display. Panels on the sides further flatter your thighs.

Alo High-Waist Tech Lift Airbrush Legging

These classic black leggings have a double-knit fabric that sculpts a fine backside with Tech Lift technology. (Major props.) The high waist helps suck everything in, too, so you can wear these with cropped tops or a sports bra. The full-length legging is great if you’re on the tall side.

SPANX Women’s Ready to Wow Faux Leather Leggings

Everyone needs a pair of these in order to show off their booty—they’re that good. Coated fabric gives the leggings a leather-like look, a (pretty) tight fit sucks everything in, and you can snatch them up in six cool colors from black to bronze. This is one pair that deserves to be taken out.

Beyond Yoga Spacedye Essential Leggings

Definitely a second skin full-length legging (as long as you order down a size!), these stretchy leggings use spacedye performance material to keep you comfy and rounded—if you know what we mean. The waistband also works to keep your butt lifted, as its designed to prevent slippage and sagging.

Athleta Stealth 7/8 Tight

The seams wrap ever-so-elegantly go around your curves to accentuate your butt, so make sure you pair these with a top that will show it off, not cover it up. Plus, Sculptek technology helps them retain their shape and boost your backside. Yass.

Sweaty Betty Contour Workout Leggings

Let’s put these squarely into the ‘wow’ category. There are two prints to choose from here (black-and-white geometric or a burgundy) that are eye-catching and help disguise any lumps or bumps that solid leggings don’t. The quick-dry fabric keeps you cool—a good thing since you’re wearing these babies out to lunch.

Gymshark Geometric Legging

High-waisted wins again. Not only are these great for holding in a tummy, but the fact that they come over your belly button also helps accentuate your legs and rear. What’s more, the tight geometric print and almost subtle sheen makes your tush pop. And everyone likes a pocket (for practical purposes, right?), these have a hidden one at the waistband. You wouldn’t want anything to distract from your derriere, right?
