I Put Old Navy’s $40 Leggings to the Test—Here’s My Post-Pilates Review

I’ve recently started my fitness journey. The first step: Find cute, affordable workout clothes. But that’s proving to be harder than I thought. Until I came across a pair of $40 leggings that look and feel far more expensive. The leggings in question: the Old Navy Powersoft Boundless. IMO, the best activewear promotes movement and comfort without breaking the bank. Bonus if they look cool in a post–workout class selfie. These do just that.

Scroll on to read my post-Pilates review of the $40 editor-approved leggings. Plus shop the best Old Navy activewear of 2026.

Here, I’m wearing the Powersoft Boundless Leggings ($40) and the Powersoft Sports Bra ($30) in Dark Sepia. I’ve paired them with the Bounce Fleece Bomber Jacket ($55), zipped up halfway, and the Puff Active Tote ($35), which is spacious enough to hold my laptop, charger, wallet, and a change of clothes.
