S/O Do you all really wear yoga pants?

[KKD]

When I think of yoga pants, I think of tight stretchy bootcut pants, which aren't exactly the kind of pants I like to wear to lounge around the house.

Has "yoga pants" become a term for, I don't know, dressier sweatpants, similar to "lounge pants," as to distinguish them from the cuffed sweatpants of yesteryear, or are so many of you literally wearing yoga pants?

Because they still all count as sweats to me. I just prefer not to have to wear a thong with mine.

There are wide-leg yoga pants that are more comfy.

[jaylea]

Mine aren't skin tight, but they're called "yoga pants". I have one pair with the foldover waist, and one pair that's more of a stretchy running pant (straight leg vs. bootcut).

I also have some gauchos.

[janegold]

Mine are real yoga pants, like you described. I don't think I own any actual lounge pants or sweatpants.

[mrsbro]

I wear yoga pants as you describe tight stretchy bootcut pants and comfy Gap sweatpants. I wear yoga pants more often though.

[pedanticwench]

I don't wear pants at home in the summer. It's too fucking hot for that shit.

[birdistheword]

I have a couple pairs that are actual yoga pants just with wider legs, a couple pairs that are just cute sweats, and a pair of tight running leggings that I alternate.

I wear yoga pants with the foldover waist or stretchy running pants all the time.

[fuckyourcouch]

[Chirp]

I have these:

I wear them around the house, on the elliptical or when walking DS around the neighborhood. I do not wear them in public. Ever. Unless you count walking around a development as "public".


I also wear pj pants around the house too. But I don't use them on the elliptical or outside of the house. Ever. Not even to get the mail. I can't do it. I just can't.

Are these considered real yoga pants? I mean, that's what they're sold as but I don't do yoga so how the hell should I know? lol
Anyway, I wear this kind and they're amazingly comfortable.

[vicky]

i love yoga pants. so much. i also like gauchos. whatever.

[cbwm1]

I have these in both the capri and long version:

I do not do yoga. But they're my favorite lounge/PJ pants in the entire world.

I do not even own a pair of yoga pants.

I love the Costco brand yoga pants. Since I do not do the yoga, I don't care about rocking it Kirkland style. They are like $18 and very similar to lululemon (IMO).

[bleubook]

I wear "real" yoga pants. they are Lululemon and they are amazing.

[Deleted]

All of my yoga pants are lululemon. Incredibly comfy.

[poppyseed]

I have a pair that are more straight legged (I guess?) and a maternity pair that are boot cut. I also have a couple of pairs of lounge pants that are like a jersey knit material. I also like guachos.

They are a pretty good replica! I'm a Lululemon nut but I bought a pair of the Kirkland ones a few months ago and they are equally comfortable and durable. (I just wish they were a bit longer; their "Long" size is shorter than LLL's.)

I don't know if the ones I wear are actually yoga pants. I think they are slightly looser than true yoga pants, but not entirely baggy.

[LLL]

I like yoga pants because they make my ass look good. I'm vain, even in my own home. ha!

[Kore]

Def real yoga pants. They are so, so comfortable. I just go commando if I'm worried about panty lines (which I'm not when I'm lounging at home).

[Lauren88]

Yup, mine are just like you described too. I just get them at Kohls, they're nothing fancy at all and super comfy. Sweats pants end up making me too hot, even in the winter, when I'm in my house.

[leahmel]

Regular yoga pants. They are tight, but still comfy. I don't actually sleep in them though, just lounge. I wear underwear to bed with a tank.
