It is fair to say that over the past few years, athleisure styles have firmly earned a place in our wardrobes, but as comfort and style have become even more synonymous it was only natural that we’d start to demand more from our activewear. Now that a comfy pair of leggings has become the unofficial uniform for any errand day or coffee run (as well as any workout, of course) it’s pretty much essential that they’re also as practical as possible, which is why leggings with pockets get our vote every time.

Now if anyone understands how to merge performance with style, it’s Nike, so trust us when we say the Swoosh has thought of everything when it comes to its latest leggings launch. Available in a selection of colourways, each pair features a flattering high-waisted fit, and is made from a smooth, midweight fabric for a sculpted look. They also come with not just one, but two (!!!) pockets, providing plenty of room to stash your valuables when you’re out and about.

Though we can confirm the Nike Universa Leggings are totally gym-ready (you’ll be pleased to know they’re squat-proof) they’re also comfy enough for everyday wear. We also put them to the test on the track, where we styled our favourite colourways with the sporty Nike Free Metcon, the retro P-6000 and the Y2K-inspired V2K runner, and we can confidently say that styling options are endless. So, whether you’re training for a half or off on a smoothie run, Nike’s Universa Leggings will well and truly have you covered.
