6 Top Leggings from Sustainable Brands

Yoga leggings have become a wardrobe essential. Their stretchiness and durability make them perfect for everything — working remotely, lounging, running errands or working out. But most of these yoga leggings are made from virgin synthetic fibers that are harmful for the humans and planet.

‍

Some sustainable brands are using alternatives such as organic cotton, recycled polyester and hemp to make these leggings, making them more safe and sustainable.

Here are 6 brands that make sustainable leggings:
