Once you have worn leggings with pockets you rarely go back, here is what to look for so your phone stays put and the leggings still look smooth
Side pockets vs waistband pockets
| Pocket type | Holds | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Side pockets on each leg | A phone, keys, cards | Walks, gym, everyday |
| Inside waistband pocket | A key or a card | Studio classes, a sleek look |
| Back waistband pocket | A phone and keys | Biker shorts, running errands |
What to check before you buy
- Pocket depth: it should cover most of your phone so it does not bounce out
- Waistband height: a high rise stops the weight of the phone pulling the leggings down, our crossover V waistband sits high and holds firm
- Fabric weight: a heavier fabric hides the outline of what is in the pocket, HFF crossover leggings use 290 g/m² fabric with mild compression
- Light prints: on very light prints the double layer of a pocket can show slightly, a darker or busier print hides it best
- Length: HFF crossover leggings have an inseam of about 26 inches, full length on most people around 5 feet 2 to 5 feet 6, ankle length if you are taller

Pockets matter even more in bigger sizes, where stretch can pull a shallow pocket open, all HFF crossover leggings with pockets come in 2XS to 6XL, waist about 23.6 to 50.4 inches and hips about 33.9 to 60.6 inches, see the full size guide
