Perks and Rec: Our favorite leggings are under $25 today

A good pair of leggings can be hard to find. They should be supportive but not restrictive, lightweight but not see-through, easy to put on but not falling down every other minute... you know the vibes. You may think the best leggings are the ones that cost as much as a cashmere sweater, but our tester said that these under-$30 leggings are the best she’s tried. And a bonus: they’re 23% off today. 

There are a few major holiday sales still happening. While they may not arrive at your door in time to wrap up, you can give an I-O-U your recipient will actually look forward to receiving. Madewell has tons of bestsellers for 40% off, and you can snag cashmere for up to half off at J.Crew. My picks: some lovely little cashmere socks and a French hair pin. 

Happy shopping,
