Product Information

Too much flare can get you tangled, but the Practice Pants stick the balance between comfort and functionality. Quality yoga pants can last you for several years, save you money, and reduce the environmental impact of replacement.

How they fit: Simple and flattering, the Lululemon Wunder Train High-Rise Tight has a wide, flat waistband that doesn’t feel constricting and stays put. SUITABLE FOR ANY ACTIVITY — Our yoga pants are ideal for any indoor and outdoor activities, including yoga and pilates, running, weight training, or simply walking. And model Tatiana Lewis says she especially likes the high-rise waist, which offers full, comfortable coverage. The fabric is cool and smooth to the touch, with a slightly brushed texture, but it isn’t slick or shiny.Our tests rewarded for pants that perform well on the mat, but we also looked for how they transition into daily life and adventures. I narrowed down the field to 42 pairs and tried on each one, noting the quality, feel, and opacity of the fabric; general fit and comfort; performance while in motion; and overall first impressions. Lululemon is famous (or infamous, depending on how you look at it) for shaping rear ends, and I felt that these leggings delivered in a low-key way for me—not entirely transformative, but certainly flattering.

That wool blend helps to promote moisture wicking and speed up drying, and it also offers insulative properties for cold runs. It’s rare that a pair of yoga pants can even be described as pretty, but these ones from Live the Process are “shockingly beautiful,” as Jones puts it. Our top picks include a flattering and versatile all-purpose legging; a splurge-worthy, extra-comfy pair; a budget-friendly choice with pockets; a lighter-weight layering piece that is also terrific for everyday wear; a high-performance basic with a high-end feel; and a high-quality, plus-size-only legging. Some materials are less likely to get tiny holes in the knees or the butt, where you most frequently encounter rough surfaces.

Tough pants are essential if you participate in friction-dependent activities like climbing, where your knees may scrape against rough rocks. If you are using it for serious yoga practice, then choose more of a bootcut width with less fabric to get in the way. They also have convenient side-drop pockets, which feel proportionally (and comfortably) placed and can fit an iPhone. The Spacedye Out of Pocket waistband didn't need to be constantly adjusted, allowing us to relax into our breathing and movement. If you choose to go without underwear, choose leggings with built-in panties or liners to absorb the extra sweat and help prevent bacteria and yeast growth.

For what it’s worth, they performed well during a 45-minute indoor cycling class and a 3-mile run with my phone in one of the pockets. The seams wrap around the body, so this pair provides a more flattering silhouette than many competing pairs that rely solely on stretch. The Eddie Bauer Women’s Trail Tight Leggings are designed with durability for trail running and hiking. This hard work fed our intention to analyze how each pant performed in comfort and fit, ease of movement, breathability, and durability.Our testers worked up a sweat with the inner-heating ujjayi breath, a relentless flow, and arm balances. They have more seaming than other, simpler pairs we tried, but that contributed to their nice shape. You never want to go to class and have your pants waistband roll down in forward folds or the ankles scrunch up when you are finally close to slipping into lotus. Recommended fabrics: medium to heavyweight fabrics with little to no stretch, such as twill, linen, corduroy, and denim. But when you find a great pair of running leggings, you can focus on your run, rather than worry about your wardrobe.

How they fit: The Beyond Yoga Spacedye Caught In The Midi High Waisted Legging is stretchy instead of structured, with light compression.

We never had to worry about this kind of thing with the REI Co-op Active Pursuits 7/8 Ribbed because the fit is so good. Recommended fabrics: light to medium weight knit fabrics with 4-way stretch (so the fabric stretches in all directions). I put these through a range of workouts in a variety of conditions and was impressed with their overall wearability. We appreciate that the material is Bluesign-approved, a sustainability metric for textiles that emphasizes safety against chemicals, protection of workers, and minimal environmental impact. When we asked experts about the best plus-size workout clothes, three women pointed to Athleta’s Salutation Capri Leggings, which go up to a size 3XL, as the best yoga pants.
