But men’s compression pants in particular have come a long way. If you’ve never considered them for fear of… ahem, overexposure, you should know that innovation in crotch covers has come a long way. That is why tight leggings are more popular with men, and rightly so.
In addition, wearing pantyhose can help reduce soreness. A 2021 study found that wearing compression leggings has potential performance benefits, from supporting blood flow to aiding post-workout recovery.
Even if you’re unsure about the benefits of compression wear for physical performance (which we can understand since the scientific evidence is still not certain), you can also reap the psychological benefits. Because something happens when you put on leggings. You don’t just wear jeans or a sweatshirt, you wear super-thin material around your hips and calves. This is a deliberate behavior that keeps you focused on the training task.
If you are looking to invest in functional workout clothing, you are in the right place. Here are 15 editor-approved compression pants to add to your workout wardrobe.

Besides looking cool, there are several good reasons to buy yourself a pair of leggings.
The theory behind wearing compression gear is that tight fabrics compress and support your veins, which can help your blood return to your heart, improving oxygen flow. While the science isn’t definitive, tights can help prevent muscle soreness and speed up recovery.
“It can help with biomechanics,” Dr. Gerardo Miranda-Comas, a sports medicine physician and associate professor at the Icahn School of Medicine, told Men’s Health. “Personally, that’s why I sometimes recommend it… Compression helps to fully engage the muscles and allows for more synchronized movement.”
They’re also a must-have piece of gear, helping to keep you warm during cold-weather runs without making sweatpants or joggers bulky and chafed.
Leggings have become widely accepted and fully integrated into women’s casual and sportswear as a must-have, so why should it be any different for men? Unsurprisingly, for most men, the stigma associated with wearing only leggings comes down to the fear of looking too revealing.
When our Senior Fitness Editor Brett Williams polled Zac Efron on this topic in a 2019 interview, his responses were open-ended. “I don’t blame anyone for the shape of leggings – I believe that superheroes wear leggings for a reason,” he said. “If you take it off, it will work… I just have to wear something over them or I’ll be too shy.” unwanted bounce, we also recommend that you pay attention to what kind of underwear and sweatshirt you choose to complete the look. Chances are you won’t be the only one at the gym who loves this look.
