It’s definitely workout season…….and we all are on the search for the BEST WORKOUT PANTS.  After 8 months of testing, I’m sharing the best workout pants for a pear shape body!

I know, I know.  We all have workout wear on the brain.  After months of cookies, cocktails, and you know……celebrating……I feel like the whole world has vowed to get healthy.  Gyms are full, we’re all trying new workout classes (I’m on a total Orange Theory Fitness kick)…..and sometimes, having a great workout outfit is the only thing that gets me moving.  

Here’s the issue with workout pants for a pear shape body.  The best ones? Have enough give to workout in, fit hips and thighs, and don’t stretch out mid workout.  Bonus points? The best workout pants are actually flattering.

After trying over 20 pairs of workout pants…….I’m sharing my top five picks for the best workout pants!

How To Dress for A Pear Shape: Workout Pants

AERIE MOVE HIGH WAISTED LEGGING  (size Large, $44): I know, I know……I talk about these workout pants all the time.  They’re THAT good.  I own them in about a million prints.  They fit like a dream, wash and wear well, and I’ve worn them for casual daywear with a sweatershirt as well.

FABLETICS POWERLIGHT GIA CAPRI (size Large, 2 for $24 with VIP Membership): These are a recent find, and they fit amazingly well.  Each month they release fun, new prints and they’re a KILLER price.  I love that they’re high waisted enough to hold everything in.

RUNNING GIRL HIGH WAISTED RUNNING LEGGINGS (size Large, $17.99): Who’d have thought? Stellar fitting running tights for under $20.  I found these on Amazon, by reading buyer reviews.  And honestly? They’re worth a million dollars.  They fit like a dream, stretch perfectly and are GREAT for longer runs.  No rubbing, and they come in a bunch of fun colors.

ZELLA HIGH WAIST LEGGINGS (size Large, $54 – $59): These are the holy grail of workout pants.  They’re the BEST WORKOUT PANTS I’ve ever worn.  I even did a full on review of them (you can read it HERE).  I couldn’t believe they were as great as everyone said.  They are.  Fit perfectly.  High waisted enough to stay put over large hips.  Come in a ton of fun colors.  Worth every penny.

JOCKEY ACTIVE JUDO LEGGING (size Large, $21): I teamed up with Jockey to do an instagram post last month.  And was blown away by how much I liked these leggings.  They’re a great price, a little thinner fabric, perfect workout pants for outdoor workouts in warmer weather.  I love that they’re a great neutral color.
