20 Sustainable Leggings We’re Grabbing During Earth Month

Happy Earth Month! It's a time to take stock of how we can better honor our planet — during April and beyond. And we know that our purchases contribute to the bigger picture, long before we buy them and long after we dispose of them. Shopping sustainably has thankfully become easier, with more brands offering eco-friendly clothing and even recycling programs. And some of the newest sustainable options come from surprising sources, like activewear, which is often made from synthetic fibers with poor manufacturing processes. But thanks to some forward-thinking designers, founders, and innovators, there's no shortage of sustainable athleisure brands out there now.

Here, we've specifically looked for the best sustainable leggings for working out or lounging around in, though many brands also sell coordinating bras, tops, and more to match. Important factors like the use of recycled and organic fabrics and ethical practices and certifications were been considered in selecting the best sustainable leggings. Both plant-based and recycled synthetic fiber options are included, and we also noted if brands offer ways to dispose of well-loved leggings after they've run through their lifecycle. So read on to look through and find the best eco-friendly leggings on the market, and understand exactly how your purchase can positively impact the planet.
