![]() ![]() But Superfit Hero goes the highest (40–42). All of our picks offer sizing up to at least a 20 (and several of our favorites also come in extended sizes, including Girlfriend Collective and Universal Standard). Why they’re great: Superfit Hero transitioned to all plus and extended sizes in late 2020, allowing the company to cater fully to an often underrepresented population of athletic-wear aficionados. Available in sizes L (12–14) to 7XL (40–42) and in one length (29 inches), they fit our 5-foot-2-inch plus-size tester (who wore a size 2XL) a bit snugly in the waist, but were otherwise comfortable. They felt good during sweaty workouts and less-intense sessions. How they fit: Smooth and dense with a supportive hold, the Superfit Hero Superhold Pocket Leggings have conveniently placed pockets. We think they work well paired with a favorite T-shirt or a cozy cardigan for everyday wear or layered under shorts (for workouts) or skirts. But if you prefer a higher level of compression or a fabric with a more substantial weight, these leggings may not provide adequate support. We didn’t notice any issues with coverage (though thinner, the fabric wasn’t see-through). The company describes the Core Legging as having “soft support,” and that’s accurate: These are thinner and stretchier than many pairs we tried. ![]() These leggings are also somewhat less supportive than some other pairs we recommend, and they feel refined enough to wear with non-sport clothing. The fabric feels cool and smooth, and it’s more matte than shiny, so this pair doesn’t appear specifically geared toward workouts. Yet I found myself wearing them mostly on days that held lighter activity or longer spells of sitting (thank you, no-pinch waistband!). These leggings did show a few sweat streaks post-cycling, but they dried speedily. (The phrase “super-comfortable” popped up more than once.) They performed well during indoor-cycling classes, and they also planked and lunged their way through other workouts with ease. With a thinner fabric yet still a quality feel, these leggings won over wearers with their unrestrictive stretch and wearability. Why they’re great: We found these leggings to be fine for workouts, and they actually became our go-to for casual everyday wear. ![]()
