Pocket leggings are a non-negotiable for active women. Here's how to find the best ones.
What Makes a Great Pocket Legging?
The best pocket leggings have deep side pockets that fit your phone without bouncing, a secure high-rise waistband, squat-proof fabric, and a seamlessly integrated pocket design that doesn't create bulk or distort the print.
Pocket Depth
This is the most important pocket feature. Pockets should be at least 6 inches deep to hold a full-size phone. Shallow pockets that only fit half your phone are useless during a workout.
No-Bounce Design
The pocket should hold your phone securely without bouncing during running, jumping, or high-impact movement. A snug pocket opening and proper pocket placement (along the outer thigh) are key.
Seamless Integration
The best pocket leggings integrate the pocket into the design so seamlessly that you can't tell it's there until you use it. No visible bulk, no distortion of the print, no awkward seam lines.
Bold Print Pocket Leggings
Pocket leggings in bold prints are the ultimate functional fashion statement. Animal prints, tropical florals, and geometric patterns in deep-pocket leggings — available in sizes L through 6XL at Azalea Couture.
