It shouldn’t be surprising that Tembe Denton-Hurst — a writer who fully commits to each of her obsessions (from best-selling novels to scented candles to “the Telfar bag of lip gloss”) — has strong preferences for workout leggings. She stands by (and lifts in) multiple options from Everlane’s Perform line, which she says are all “buttery soft and feel really good on the skin.” These Perform leggings with a phone pocket — currently $39 (50 percent off) — are perfect for everything from running errands to cardio: “They stay up while I work out, and I love the deep-neutrals color range that pairs nicely with my T-shirt collection,” Tembe says. “Bonus points for making the cake look good.” For anyone who likes their leggings with a bit of compression, Tembe recommends the Perform Sculpt — on sale for $46 (41 percent off). “It snatches the waist and has a cumberbund-like waist band that’s thick AF. I find myself adjusting them between sets more than I do my other Everlane leggings, but the compliments are worth it. I got a ton of questions when I posted them on Instagram, and, just this morning, a woman stopped me at the gym to compliment my outfit.”
