Maybe it’s because it’s been a crazy year, maybe it’s because Brooks Running makes awesome holiday shoes now; I feel the need for Christmas Running Leggings.
I was Forrest Gump for Halloween and now I just want to be happy, holly and jolly for some miles this winter too!
In case that’s up your alley as well, I went digging and here’s what I found!
Best Christmas Running Leggings
For me a good tight needs to stay put while running, but lots of these aren’t going to be the best running gear ever (few notable exceptions). Since we aren’t looking for these to be worn 12 months out of the year, I’m not always looking for the most durable tight or running leggings with pockets.
You’ll notice some are straight up Ho Ho Ho and some you can turn in to an holiday running outfit then wear again.
Listed in order of price so you can decide if it’s a great one wear option or something longer term!
And pictured in order above!!
Elf or Santa Leggings ($17)
Listen these aren’t listed as for working out, but they are polyester and spandex…so basically what most of your gear is. I’d just check sizing to make sure they’ll be tight enough to stay up, but for the price a fun one day outfit!
Holiday Lights Workout Tights – ($23)
Listed as an athletic fit and dry fit…what more can you ask for in your holiday gear. Probably a lot, but these seem like a great cheap option to enjoy the run without worrying you’ve started to sag.
Red/White Striped – ($29 sale)
Turn yourself in to a candy cane with these fun tights!
Grinch – Stink Stank Stunk – ($29)
I LOVE these and am thinking of getting the shirt over the pants. I’d say these would become after your holiday run something you pull on around the house!
✅Gone for a Run Performance Capris – ($39)
We know they’ve made these truly for running and they even have a PHONE pocket. There are a ton of styles from elf leggings to ugly holiday sweater.
Snowflake Capris – ($45)
Not dealing with the cold? Awesome, these printed capris will brighten up your wardrobe without overheating you.
Lululemon Red Word High Rise Crop
You’ll have to keep checking because these keep selling out. But they remind me of wrapping paper…and yet they actually aren’t holiday specific so I’d wear them year round! Red is said to impact your brain and make you run faster…love!!!
Metallic High Waisted Leggings – ($70)
You can turn yourself in to an ornament and then enjoy these silver (or gold) running leggings the rest of the year with a muted top. In fact, these would work with this years Brooks Running Ugly Sweater shirt. I have the one from a few years ago, it’s very thin and I just layer it on cold days.
✅Nike Metallic Run 7/8 Leggings – ($85)
Another splurge option, but man you are going to feel like a bad ass year round in this! Personally, I’m a fan of their tights. They fit well and don’t fall down, so I can just keep going.
These articles aren’t good for me, I just want more gear!
