What to Look for When Buying Yoga Pants

Material

There are a number of things to consider when it comes to material, including wicking capabilities, breathability, opacity, and type of stretch. Breathable pants that wick sweat not only limit sweat lines (especially on lighter colored pants) but also reduce the chance of bacteria buildup.

“Four-way stretch is key. You want your yoga pants to stay in place during class and to move and stretch with you,” says Mandy Enright, MS, RDN, RYT, certified yoga coach and founder of The Food+Movement Dietitian coaching service. If you’re constantly focused on adjusting your pants you can lose out on some of the benefits of decompressing during yoga.

Fit and Rise

Most yoga pants are high rise so you don’t have to worry about adjusting them as you move through your practice. “There's nothing worse than being self-conscious about your pants shifting around during class,” says Enright. However, you’ll want to find a rise and waistband that is comfortable for you. 

Amount of Compression

While you may love that sucked-in smoothed-out look, too much compression can restrict movement in a yoga class, where your body wants to be able to move freely. Also, waistbands that offer too much compression may dig into your waist and feel uncomfortable in certain poses. That said, a little compression does often help pants stay in place, so look for the right balance.

Length

“Length is definitely a personal preference,” says Enright. While you don’t want pants that are too long and getting in your way, “some people prefer capris or ankle length, while others may like something slightly longer,” adds Enright.

Bottom Style

While bottom style is up to personal preference, there are some expert recommendations to keep in mind. “I don’t recommend loose bottoms when practicing yoga. Loose bottoms can become a hazard to potentially trip or have your opposite leg get caught up in the loose fabric. Plus, I find it uncomfortable if my pants are constantly sliding around on me, especially if I’m doing inversions or raising my legs into the air,” says Enright.
