favorite leggings & affordable leggings?

i’ve been wearing the same three pairs of random leggings for so long i think it’s time for some more. they all have a thin/elastic waistband that is unflattering so i always make sure that’s covered.

i’d like some with a thick/high waistband that doesn’t cut into my sides and give me a muffin top. they can be every day or athletic ones, i use them for the same purpose lol.

what are your favorite pair of leggings? what are your favorite affordable ones? i’ve been looking on amazon and don’t know how to choose!
