Why do women love wearing yoga pants/leggings?

There are many different reasons why women love wearing yoga pants and leggings. Here are just a few:

1. Comfort – Let’s be honest. Yoga pants and leggings are just super comfortable. Who wants to try and squeeze into a tight pair of jeans on a day where they feel all bloated and gross? Yoga pants will always stretch and give you room to move.
2. Perfect form – No one has a perfect shape to their body, no matter what they might tell you. Yoga pants help provide structure and support to legs and butts that give a little lift in just the right areas. So whether you have a perfect peach of behind or one that is on the flatter side, yoga pants, in the many different styles to choose from. can help provide the smooth lines everyone wants.
3. Versatile – Yoga pants and leggings go with everything! OK, we’re slightly exaggerating but for the most part, they will work in almost any circumstance. From out on the town, working out in the gym, or even at work, possibly, no other piece of clothing can be worn in so many different places or work with so many different outfit choices. Leggings can be worn with almost any shirt or dress. Plus, with all the different color choices and patterns available, you could have a different pair for all 365 days a year.
4. Flexible – Leggings don’t bind like a pair of jeans, giving you the flexibility to move around freely and comfortably. This is something most jeans, skirts, and regular old pants do not allow. Plus, leggings and yoga pants will cover your legs and naughty bits completely. We find they’re great to wear under skirts to lessen anxiety when sitting or bending over.
5. Lightweight – If you have ever worn a pair of jeans out on a hot day, you know how uncomfortable they are. The heat radiating off your thighs is about the same hotness as the surface of the sun. Plus, when you take them off, you’re all sweaty and gross. Leggings or yoga pants are usually made out of ultralight, thin material. For the love of all things holy, let your skin breathe.
6. They just feel good. Everyone likes the feel of the soft material. Yes, I’m looking at you.
7. Look Great – Leggings and yoga pants look good from the front, the sides, and the back. They can come with control tops or higher waist to help control those trouble areas or add a few more inches in length to make your body look slimmer. You do you.
What are the benefits of wearing yoga pants?

Really, just looking above list will tell you the benefits of putting on yoga pants and leggings but we’ll add a few more, just in case you need extra convincing.

1. As stated above, they are versatile. They’re great for working out, relaxing at home on the couch, or running around town. If you’re lucky enough to work for a cool employer like us, you can even wear them to work. Plus there are so many styles available out there so you would never run out of prints or you can just stick to the basics. Whatever you choose, we like it.
2. They are hygienic and sweat-free, meaning you don’t have to worry about them getting smelly or sweaty when wearing out in the sun or just going for a quick lunchtime walk. Look for sweat proof fabrics.
3. They can reduce stress by providing you an always option to wear. I don’t know about you but we often spend way too much time finding the pair of jeans that fit just right. On days where we’re a bit bloated or just puffy, the jeans that fit just right don’t. Time, stress, and in our cases, tears can all be avoided by just going with a fashion-friendly, stylish pair of hot leggings. You can also get yoga pants that provide compression for your legs and help with circulation. Can jeans or dresses do that? We think not.

Yoga Pant Styles
1. Yoga pants and leggings come in so many different styles and materials. You can find yoga pants in shorts, capri length, high-waist, compression, or even padded. It is important to find a style that best fits your needs. We recommend getting several different styles so you always have something to choose from.
2. Capris and yoga shorts are great for summertime, heat, and humidity\with a shorter length to the legs. Also, easier to get some sun on those legs.
3. High-waist is great for working out and giving you extra control. It’s also high enough so you don’t have to worry about plummer crack when you’re bending and lifting.
4. The color and design of your hot yoga pants are also very important. Although your pretty colored yoga pants may look great when out with friends, they may not be the best for the gym doing squats or at work. Your basic black may not be the best for working out but is versatile and can be worn with almost anything when going out.
Pick That Perfect Pair
1. Picking the perfect pair of yoga pants and leggings is really about all comfort and your personal style. Each brand is just a bit different than the other. They always say that money is an indication of quality but that isn’t quite true when it comes to yoga pants. Just because a pair of yoga pants cost $90 doesn’t automatically mean it will feel or fit better than a $15 pair. In fact, some of our favorite yoga pants were $15 for a pair of two. It’s best to shop around and try a few different brands until you find the style and fit for your personality and body.
