Whether you exercise regularly or don't, leggings are a tried-and-true wardrobe staple that will never go out of style. These versatile pants are a must-have for running errands, grabbing coffee, lounging around the house, and most importantly, enduring nearly a year of quarantine.

But like my denim preference, I pretty much only wear high-waisted leggings. Not only is this cut universally flattering, but high-waisted leggings also pair well with all things cropped—including sweatshirts, workout tees, and jackets. Even if crop tops aren't a fixture of your wardrobe, the high-waisted silhouette simply feels more comfortable, secure, and oddly natural compared to low-rise styles—there's a reason high-waisted pants made such a profound 21st-century comeback

Ahead, we've rounded up the best high-waisted leggings on the internet. Bonus: you can snag all of them on Amazon.
