The Best Leggings, Sweaters & Jackets On Sale At Athleta
To make shopping a breeze, we’ve rounded up 10 must-have pieces that our team already owns, loves, and swears by. From tried-and-true staples to seasonal favorites, these are the items we can’t stop wearing. Keep scrolling for our top picks!
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10
1. Rainier High Rise Bootcut Pant
While Athleta describes these as pants, they’re basically bootcut leggings. We love them so much, especially in winter, because of the fleece-y lining and compression that feels supportive rather than squeezy.
“The bum is epic (lifts and sculpts), and I found that my regular size fits the best.” – S
2. Rainier High Rise Leggings
The straight leggings version of those bootcut pants, above. These have that same brushed interior lining which makes them a cold-weather essential, and they play perfectly with our winter boots.
“These are the fleece-lined leggings I wear running! The fit is perfection – the rise is high, there’s some amount of supportive compression happening, and the outer fabric is super sleek.” – S
3. Easy Fleece Crew
Athleta completely nailed the old-school fleece sweatshirt – it’s short, without being cropped.
“I think I tried on every. single. piece. in Athleta’s fleece collection, and this was one of my very favorites. The sweatshirt literally hits exactly at the top of the waistband.” – S
4. Altitude Fleece Lined Funnel Neck Sweatshirt
Linzi’s go-to winter outfit for running has been this fleece-lined sweatshirt over a base layer (this top, specifically – $35 at checkout!) + joggers. The result? Cozy, but not too heavy.
5. Summit Cropped Puffer
These little puffers have a really elevated fit, and look almost designer. Lightweight, super comfortable, and come in some seriously fun colors – good luck deciding! 😉
6. Alpine Spirit Wrap Sweater
If you’re not familiar with Athleta’s Alpine line, it’s all machine washable cashmere-wool knits. AKA… a wardrobe hero. Linzi’s loved the fit of both this cropped hoodie and crewneck, and Amy’s wrap sweater above is just the thing to pop over any outfit and elevate into a look.
“You can wear almost anything underneath it (say, oh I don’t know, like your coziest, most-worn loungewear??) and you’ll look completely put together for anything, from running errands or having guests pop over.” – Amy
7. Elation High Rise Shine Legging
Next up? Metallic leggings. Athleta’s Elation Shine Leggings are comfortable – both S + Laurel are a fan. They don’t have that cold feeling of other metallic leggings, nor are they stiff – they live up to that buttery soft feel we’ve come to know and love from Athleta leggings.
“These make me feel like I’ve upped my black legging game. They feel bold and stylish all without getting too far outside of my comfort zone. (And they’re super comfortable, too.)” – Laurel
8. Elation Flare Pant
These flares feel just like our favorite leggings – stretchy, snug and buttery soft. Whether you’re hitting the gym or styling them for casual outings, these leggings are just as cute as they are practical.
“The fabric is soooo smooth and soft but provides supportive compression without being uncomfortable. Fit is true to size. LOVE these as a streetwear-to-workout wear option, too!” – Laura
9. Trekkie Parachute Pants
Both S + Em wear these lightweight pants during the spring and summertime. Snag a pair on sale now and thank yourself later – they’re perfect for hiking, trekking around the city, travel, etc.
“The Trekkie High Rise Pants are some of the coolest I’ve ever worn. Parachute-y without being too swishy, with smart details like zippered cuffs, stash pockets and a flattering rise. I’m usually a 2/25 in pants, and the 2 here fits true to size.” – Em
10. Conscious Crop Bra
This is one of the tops we collect for year-round wear. It vibes more like a cropped tank or a simple baselayer, but with the added bonus of built-in bra support. Down to $25 in cart!

Team TME
Looove Athleta but they really need to provide actual measurements for their rises – “sits at natural waist” is not helpful if all women do not have the same rise length! I would love to give them that feedback. Raniers do not work for me, the rise is not high enough but I do love their Ultra High Rise Elations.
We’ll pass that on!!
