5 Reasons Why Yoga Pants Make Your Life Better

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UW Stout chapter.

I shuffle through my drawers and evaluate my options. Yoga pants or yoga pants today? Yoga pants, or leggings, are a rising fashion statement. They have so many great purposes and there are a ton of reasons why everyone is choosing to go with yoga pants. Here are five valid reasons why women say yoga pants are better. 

They are hella comfy 

You can sleep in them, you can stretch in them, and you can look great doing it all. Unlike jeans, yoga pants don’t constrict our legs and we have no limits. It’s the second best thing after no pants, and we all love it.

They match with almost anything

Almost anything goes with a good pair of leggings. Toss a flannel over a camisole, wear a cute sweatshirt, or pair with a nice shirt and a scarf. Plus, they look super cute with Nikes, boots, Converse, and flats. 

You can trick people into thinking you’re active

Are you going for a jog? Hitting up the gym? Or maybe on your way to yoga class? No one knows, but you certainly look good.

They’re easy to put on

One of the best thing about yoga pants is that they are easy to put on for when you are late for class in the morning, or if you are just plain lazy. We all know the struggle of the jean wiggle dance, and it’s not pleasant.

They are less expensive

A nice pair of jeans can get really spendy, usually from about $65 to $150. Leggings, on the other hand, can be just as much as a top. Save more, look good.

For all these reasons and more, it is clear that yoga pants are the best solution to most of a woman’s wardrobe issues.
