I have multiple pairs in different colors - that’s how much I love them.” Testing out a pair for myself, I was surprised by how luxe a performance fabric made out of recycled plastic could feel. Jones is a fan, saying that these are by far “the most sustainable” yoga pants that are “still concerned with fit and look.” Health-care entrepreneur Hil Moss, a breast-cancer survivor who has undergone a mastectomy and rounds of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, says that Girlfriend Collective’s leggings made the process just a bit easier: “They are insanely comfortable. We’ve written before that these Girlfriend Collective tights are one of the athleisure brand’s best products - especially for their environmental credentials (fabric made using 25 recycled plastic bottles) and size inclusivity.
Size range: XXS to 6XL | Rise and compression: High-rise, mid-compression | Pockets: None “And for running as well, they have a little bit of compression, which you need, but not so much that you’re suffocating.” “Lululemon’s pants are great if you do lots of different styles of yoga,” says Jones. While expensive, they’re versatile and durable and can definitely handle all kinds of workouts. I tried out a pair of these myself, mostly for running, and found them to be just as luxurious in look and feel as all of these experts imply. It isn’t so heavy, but I have assurance that you can’t see my butt in them.” Ashley Rosenberg, a modelFIT instructor, calls the style “the forever classic” that’s “just unbeatable.” Katherine Gundling, a coach and programmer at ICE CrossFit NYC and Oculus CrossFit, agrees that they stand out among a sea of imitators: “They will last you years and stay in great condition.” At the same time, I’m like Goldilocks: I don’t like the superthin ones, but some are too thick. “They’ve really refined it over the past 20 years, and it has gotten better and better.” Kate Posch, who teaches at Sky Ting, praises the high-waisted fit in particular: “I live for high-rise and for not having to keep pulling up my pants while practicing or teaching.” They’re also a favorite of Erin Brockovich, who was very particular about what she likes and does not: “If I’m doing yoga, and I’m down on my knees and lifting my butt up, I don’t want to wear leggings that you can see through. “Lululemon has nailed the yoga pant,” says Jones. Lululemon’s workout gear has been recommended to us by many, many fitness experts, and Wunder Train tights are the brand’s longtime best-selling pair - and a favorite among yoga instructors. Size range: 0 to 20 | Rise and compression: High-rise, mid-compression | Pockets: None As for the rise, Jones notes that if you’re doing yoga, “you want to be able to breathe through your diaphragm,” which means super-high waists are out, because they can restrict belly movement. Sky Ting Yoga co-founder Krissy Jones, who has “been living in yoga pants for the past 12 years,” compares the supportiveness of compressive yoga pants to an ankle brace: “It just gives you a little extra firmness and actually supports your muscles to activate and work tighter towards the bone, which is a good thing.” All good yoga pants will cinch your legs and waist somewhat, but if you’re a runner or wearing them for more intensive workouts, you’ll probably want to invest in a more compressive pair than you would use on the mat. Compressive, high-rise leggings will create a streamlined silhouette and won’t fall down when you run or do a Downward Dog. These design features will affect both form and function. Yoga pants vary in how high they sit on the waist as well as how thick and compressive their fabric is. Whether they’re durable tights approved by personal trainers, super-stretchy maternity leggings, or even a yoga skirt that can be worn from “studio to street,” you can find recommendations for every style and price below. The pants on this list have been praised by fitness instructors, yogis, and other experts we’ve talked to. Although the term “yoga pants” might mean different things to different people, here I’ve defined it to be pants made of a thick enough material to cover your butt (even when you’re in Downward Dog) and stretchy and sweat-wicking enough to get you through your class, a run around the park, or a day at your desk comfortably - regardless of silhouette. But wading through all the styles and brands to find a pair that fits well, stays put when you move, and actually looks nice is no easy task. In theory, these should be the most comfortable pants you own.
Whether you’re working out or working from home, yoga pants are probably somewhere in your day-to-day wardrobe rotation.
