When I was in high school, leggings first started gaining popularity, and by the time I was in college, pretty much every girl was rocking leggings and Converse on the way to class. Today, leggings are an essential part of just about every woman’s closet—even my mother has some!

However, some leggings are definitely better than others. We’ve all experienced the unpleasant side effects of wearing stiff, too-tight leggings to the gym, only to feel like a pig in a sausage casing. If you’re looking for super comfortable yet incredibly stylish leggings, the following 10 pairs are the top-rated options you can buy at Nordstrom.

1. Amazing all-purpose Zella High-Waist Leggings

Leggings comfy enough for everyday wear? We'll take two!

They call them “live-in” leggings for a reason. These bottoms are one of the most popular options at Nordstrom, with more than 6,000 reviews, and people rave about the soft material and form-sculpting fabric.

They’re made from a thick polyester-spandex blend that isn’t see-though, even when you squat or bend over, and happy wearers say the elastic band keeps them in place, even when you’re working out. However, they’re still comfy enough for everyday wear.

You can probably pass these leggings as pants...

They’re leggings, but they don’t necessarily look like leggings thanks to their unique construction. These Two by Vince Camuto Seamed Back Leggings have a seam that runs from waist to hem on each leg to give them a sleek, slim fit.

These “legging pants” are perfect for casual workplaces or school, according to reviewers, but they’re not the best option for working out. People like that they’re thick and have a nice weight, and at first glance, they really don’t look like leggings!
