You’d think buying something as basic as leggings would be foolproof, but it’s actually not. You can buy what seems like the perfect pair only to find out that they’re too sheer in the back when you put them on. (The whole gym doesn’t need to know what type of undies you’re wearing.) Some leggings just don’t fit right or aren’t breathable at all, which can make you feel itchy when wearing them to work out.
One way to avoid leggings problems is to discover which pairs customers have rated the highest. If you’re eying a pair and they only have two stars out of five, that’s a sure sign not to add them to your cart. To save you time, we scoured hundreds upon hundreds of leggings reviews from Target customers. Rounded up here are the highest-rated pairs.

Mid-rise knit leggings
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars
More than 2,000 people have rated these Lands’ End leggings with most giving them a perfect five-star rating. A cotton-spandex blend, they’re soft, stretchy and flattering. Choose from seven different colors. They’re available in sizes XS–3X in addition to some petite sizes.
Promising review: “I love these stretchy pants! Like most Lands End clothes; they run large. I normally wear a large, but in these I wear a medium and they are still a tiny bit big on me, though they do hold my belly in and are very comfy. I love the illusion! lol. I am average height, but always wear petite pants, because they come perfectly between my foot and ankle and I don’t need to fold them up. My only complaint is that they need pockets!” — Tammy
