Don’t @ us, but leggings are the absolute best kind of pants. If you haven’t found your holy grail leggings (it’s the Lululemon Aligns for us 🥵) or haven’t hopped on the leggings-or-bust train because of the lack of pockets, we’re here with some of the best leggings with pockets you’re going to obsess over in 2023.

Wondering if the pockets will 1. ruin the sleek, stretchy look of your leggings, 2. end up looking all bumpy and wonky, or 3. be too small to fit anything? Don’t worry — there are no pesky fake pockets or lumpy leggings on this list. In fact, a lot of brands you know and love make pocketed versions of your favorite styles. Some come with small zipper pockets that sit against your waistband to securely hold your keys and Airpods case while you’re running, while others have deeper thigh pockets so you can easily stick your phone away when you need a free hand.

Keep reading to see our favorite leggings with pockets to shop in 2023 — you’ll be able to go for a run without holding your phone in your hand and leave the house without your trusty tote bag in no time at all.

Thick High Waist Yoga Pants with Pockets

Customers say that these cotton leggings don't roll down and aren't see through when you squat. You might get a little warm in these during the hottest weeks of the summer, but the thicker material will help keep sweat from peeking through.

Shopper Review: "I hope they never discontinue these because I want to buy these again and again. They are great quality and stand up to many washings. They stay put and don’t need to be constantly hiked up every time I bend over like some others do."

Yoga Pants with Pockets

Over 36,000 ratings on Amazon don't lie — these flattering leggings are buttery and snug. The leggings come with a high, thick waistband for maximum comfort, and they're also anti-chafing so they won't wear out in the thighs over time.

Shopper Review: "Some of my fave leggings. Only buying leggings with the side pocket from now on! It's so convenient for hiking."

Align High-Rise Pant with Pockets 25"

These leggings come in 25", 28" and 31" lengths for a cropped or full-length fit just like the regular Aligns. The side thigh pockets are low-key, but big enough to hold your phone during a workout.

Shopper Review: "I almost wish I hadn’t bought these leggings because now no other leggings will compare."

High Waist Yoga Pants with Pockets

Happy customers note that these leggings don't show sweat easily, so they're perfect for wearing during your hardest, sweatiest workouts. Note that these are a full-length legging, not a 7/8 style, and if you are very petite you might prefer a more cropped fit.

Shopper Review: "It is SO hard for me to find leggings as a plus sized woman that are good quality and low priced. Every pair of leggings I’ve ever had either rolled down or were see-thru. EXCEPT THESE! I was skeptical to buy leggings online without trying them on, but these are the best leggings I’ve ever bought! "

4 Pack Leggings with Pockets

Shopper Review: "I’m pretty picky when it comes to leggings (and the way pants fit in general), and these lived up to every great review I read about them."

Plus Size High Waisted Leggings

These stretchy mesh leggings are a hidden Amazon gem. The side detailing is both aesthetically-pleasing *and* functional (maximum air flow, please!) and the cropped length works on all heights.

Shopper Review: "I loveee these pants. The mesh keeps you cool and looks cool, they fit great, have pockets on both sides and are some of my favorite workout pants."

Studio Pocket Legging - Short

Calling all petite queens: these matte finish leggings with a shorter inseam will help you achieve that perfect fit (a.k.a. no bunching at your ankles).

Shopper Review: "I am short and typically find leggings do not fit my legs. These fit perfectly and are flattering. They are also functional for all types of workouts."

Modal Pocket Legging

Sometimes you just need a pair of non-compressive, comfortable leggings for hanging out. Leave the tight spandex in your drawer for gym days, and reach for these super-soft modal leggings instead.

Shopper Review: "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! They are incredible comfortable, light weight and buttery soft. Perfect for running errands or just lounging at home. I hope they come out in even more colours :)"

Hi-Fold No Ride Recycled Ride Bike Shorts

Shopper Review: "Love the no centre seam for no camel toe. They are very comfy and I can wear them all day."

Mid-Weight Leggings

These leggings have four pockets — a front waistband pockets, a zipper waistband pocket, and two side pockets. You could, in theory, go on a run with your phone, your keys, your AirPods, and your water bottle stashed in your leggings.

Shopper Review: "The fabric is of high quality ladies! This is a heavy weight material yet buttery soft with just the right "give" to it. The "compression" is very good as well."

Salutation Stash Pocket II 7/8 Tight

These leggings offer a super high-waisted fit thanks to the wide waistband. Customers say that they're just tight enough while still being soft and stretchy.

Your favorite criss-cross leggings from Aerie come in regular, flare, double V, and now, pocketed styles. What more could you want?

Shopper Review: "I love how they have pockets so I don’t have to worry about my phone bouncing out of my jacket. The waist might start to roll down when sitting but it’s not that bad. They’re thick enough that you won’t get cold but thin enough that I don’t feel like I’m suffocating."
