5 Organic Cotton Leggings And Yoga Pants For Everyday Wear
The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
Leggings are our all-day comfort clothing staple, whether we’re on Zoom meetings (business up top, cozy down low), watching our favorite Netflix series, or staying grounded and focused with a living room flow.
We especially love these organic cotton yoga leggings made with minimal spandex or elastane (to help retain stretchiness and durability!). Organic cotton is nontoxic, and therefore free of harmful chemical treatments like PFAS. They’re all made by smaller businesses with ethical production practices and sustainable ethics. Snag yourself a pair and thank us later.
1. MATE the Label
Sizes | XS–3X

When you pick up a pair of MATE the Label’s organic leggings, you may be surprised how comfortably they move, just as you do! This organic cotton blend, made without microplastics unlike most other activewear, is ideal for low- to mid-impact exercise. 100 percent of MATE the Label’s products are cut, sewn, dyed, packaged, and shipped from the heart of Los Angeles, all within 10 miles. The brand also gives back a percentage of sales every year to sustainable causes.
2. Pact
Sizes | XS–XXL
Price Range | $28–$48
Pact has leggings for every kind of activity from lounging to exercising. All ethically made in fair trade factories, they’re either made of organic cotton or recycled nylon so they’re soft and sustainable. We especially love that some come with pockets for when we’re on the move. Plus, Pact offsets its carbon footprint with each order. A win-win no matter which pairs you pick up.
3. Savannah Morrow
Sizes | XXS–XXL
Price Range | $139
Savannah Morrow‘s latest launch includes a basics collection like no other. Take these gorgeous everyday leggings, for example—they are 93% microtencel, antibacterial, quick drying, and include fibers that are OEKO-TEX® certified. The fabric is made to lift and sculpt without creating irritation (perfect for sensitive skin). Plus, the collection is also made locally in Los Angeles and requires much less of the environment for production in comparison to cotton, which the brand breaks down on its website. Pair with one of the tanks or basic bras for your next pilates or yoga class.
