The right leggings can make a significant difference in how hip dips appear. After testing 15 popular brands, here are our top recommendations.

Top 5 Picks

• Best Overall: Lululemon Align ($98) — buttery soft Nulu fabric, high-waisted, seamless. The most flattering legging for hip dips we tested.
• Best Budget: CRZ Yoga Butterluxe ($32) — nearly identical to Lululemon Align at one-third the price. High-waisted, thick fabric, no show-through.
• Best Compression: Gymshark Vital Seamless ($54) — sculpting fit with targeted compression that smooths hip dips.
• Best Butt-Lifting: Seasum High Waist Yoga Pants ($26) — ruched seam detail and honeycomb fabric lift and shape.
• Best Plus Size: Aerie OFFLINE Real Me ($40) — size-inclusive (XXS-XXL), high-waisted, thick fabric.

What to Look For

• High-waisted: Essential. Smooths the hip-to-waist transition.
• Thick fabric: Thin, see-through fabric highlights hip dips. Look for fabrics labeled "squat-proof."
• Dark colors: Black, navy, and charcoal are most flattering. Avoid light colors and shiny fabrics.
• Compression: Medium to high compression smooths the area effectively.
• Avoid: Low-rise, thin fabric, horizontal seam lines across the hip area.
