Im talking about yoga pants (or as Gen Z likes to call them, flared leggings).
Jessica Kasparian / Christa Sgobba / Laneen Wells
The best yoga pants are my safe place.
Read on at your wallets risk.
Dont get me wrong, thoughI wear these out and about around NYC plenty.
Theres a lot of merit beyond the look and fashion of flared yoga pants.
Theyre very high quality but for an Old Navy price.
I love the versatility!
Theyre SOOOO buttery smooth and very comfortable, she says.
Dont worry, we have a rec for sportier occasions coming soon.
But this pair seriously won her over.
I LOVE that Athleta offers petite sizingthe length on these are great, she says.
They are more flattering than I thought theyd be and they feel super comfy on.
Her advice for anyone else on the shorter side: Definitely try a petite size.
And wear them for a hot minute to let them stretch out.
Basically, I arrive at my destination looking more put-together than I usually feel.
Their sleek fabric runs tighter to support you through more intense movements.
The leggings are high-waisted and cover my entire tummy as a plus-size woman.
Where have these leggings been all my life?
They pull moisture away from the skin, allowing it to evaporate so you dont feel damp and gross.
Plus, they give the pants the stretch that you know and love them for.
But thats where our testing comes in!
Instead, they typically describe or rate how compressive they are or list which activities theyre best for.
Its worth glancing at the product description to see to it they align with what you want.
Only the pairs wed emphatically recommend to friends made it to this list.
