Leggings are probably one of the best items of clothing to become a staple in our wardrobes. Not only do they serve as a chic alternative to looser sweatpants and joggers, but they're also unparalleled in comfort for any activity—whether it's working out, running errands, or lounging at home. On top of all that, they happen to give your legs an extra lift and added shape. Who doesn't love that?
If you want to take the shaping effect to the next level, you can always opt for tummy-control leggings. Between high-waisted styles for everyday outfits and actual shapewear, these formfitting bottoms are perfect for the moments you feel your middle section could use an added tuck or extra support.
Below, we've gathered the best styles that'll give your center a little more control. Scroll down to shop them all and add a few pairs to your wardrobe.
