After hearing tons of praise for Lulu’s Align Pants, I caved and bought my first pair a few years ago. I intended to wear them for weightlifting at the gym (and I do!), but their soft, stretchy fabric makes them supercomfortable for days spent on the couch too. One of my favorite features? They don’t have a top seam, so the waistband doesn’t dig into my stomach—instead, it actually moves with my body.

In addition to being a time-tested fan-favorite, the Aligns are hugely popular among other SELF editors. Associate social media manager Katie Gunderman describes them as perfect for low-impact workouts and chill days. Contributor Amy Winderl agrees: “The material fits snug, but not compressive, which is perfect for when you just want to be comfy while working from home or running errands. But then I don’t need to change if I end up doing a workout later on,” she says.

Finally, a version of Lululemon’s best-selling Align leggings without a front seam. If you’ve ever been plagued by the dreaded camel toe, you’ll want to get your hands on these ASAP. A couple of SELF editors managed to snag a pair and quickly put them to the test at the gym and out on runs.

“Leggings where nothing digs in? Sign me up,” shopping market editor Angela Trakoshis says. “These new Lululemon leggings are a true game changer. They’re made with that same buttery Align feel but have no seams, so they’re more flattering and more comfortable.”
