When it comes to everyday wardrobe staples, Ashley Iaconetti isn’t convinced you need to spend a fortune. In fact, the Real House of Rhode Island star swears by an affordable Amazon favorite that starts at just $10 and has become her everyday uniform. The high-waisted leggings feature tummy control, deep side pockets and a soft, stretchy fabric designed to move with you throughout the day.
After testing countless athleisure brands over the years, Iaconetti realized these budget-friendly leggings consistently outperform some of the pricier options in her closet.
“One of the biggest misconceptions is that people need to spend over $100 for a good pair of leggings or yoga pants,” she told Us Weekly. “I promise you that some of the ones that are $40 and under are my very favorites.”

What feature sold Iaconetti immediately? The pockets. The leggings are designed with drop-in side pockets large enough to hold a phone, keys or other essentials, making them ideal for busy days on the go.
“I have thought that maybe I should throw out all of my athleisure if they don’t have pockets because pockets are so crucial to my life,” she said. “I need my phone on me at all times. I love having a podcast going while I clean the house, and if I’m running errands, I love to just go in without a purse.”
Another reason she’s a fan is the flattering fit. The leggings feature a wide, supportive waistband that smooths and hugs without digging in, plus a high-rise silhouette that enhances your natural shape. The breathable four-way stretch fabric also helps keep you comfortable whether you’re lounging, traveling or tackling your to-do list.
“I love a high-waisted yoga pant,” Iaconetti admitted. “It makes my tummy look pretty tiny and flat. It’s stretchy, but it still holds form.” She added that, unlike some leggings she’s tried, these don’t leave uncomfortable seams etched into her skin by the end of the day.
Perhaps most surprising is that Iaconetti doesn’t even wear these bottoms primarily for workouts.
“These are definitely more of a lifestyle legging for me,” she said. “I wear them with sweatshirts, sports bras, crop tops or a big baggy band tee. Sometimes I think they look better than jeans because they hug the butt and show off the waist better.”
The best part, according to Iaconetti, is that they wash well, retain their shape and don’t shrink. “They hold you in and make me feel like my body shows curves in the right way when I’m wearing them.”
If you’re looking for a comfortable, flattering pair of leggings that won’t blow your budget, Iaconetti’s favorite Amazon find is definitely worth adding to your cart. At this price, grab more than one color before they sell out!
