Sales of leggings have shot up due to the coronavirus crisis and isolation - if you’re in need of some at-home comfort, these are the very best pairs on the high street.
Leggings have always been the ultimate comfort clothing - whether you're a gym-goer or not. But in recent weeks, due to the coronavirus and lockdown, sales of the stretchy pants have skyrocketed as we all choose to be comfy and ditch our old everyday wear. If you haven't invested yet, what are you waiting for? These are the high street leggings that are so good, you'll never want to go back to jeans!
H&M is one of the best places on the high street to shop for affordable activewear that doesn't sag or lose elasticity. We love this chic black option at just £17.99.

Nike knows a thing or two about making great leggings. The brand has loads of styles to choose from, but we love the running leggings for performance purposes. These ones come with a wider waistband than usual, so you won’t be worried about them rolling down as you jog.
