For everyday lounging and running errands: Look to Gymshark staples that are super comfy and flexible like the Everyday Seamless, Training or Crossover leggings.

For high-intensity and weightlifting: Gymshark has a few collections that are intended completely for workout use, and you'll find these in the Sweat (of course), Adapt Fleck and Vital 2.0. These all have different features to really push your workout like breathability, seamless finish and cooling technology. We'd highly recommend these if you're an avid gym-goer or fitness freak.
