Yoga pants are a type of flexible, form-fitting pants designed for the practice of yoga as well as other physical activities that involve a lot of movement, bending, and stretching. Although originally designed specifically for yoga, the pants are also casually worn as everyday dress by many women.

These pants are generally made from a blend of cotton, lycra spandex, nylon, polyester, wool, or a similarly light and stretchy synthetic material giving the pants a very soft, smooth, polished and silky finish when worn. Yoga pants are most often seen in flat black or grey, but may also feature stripes, printed patterns or text. Yoga pants are often worn with, or come with, matching topwear such as sweater jackets, sports bras, tank tops, or crop tops.

Not to be confused with:

• Sweatpants - looser, thicker materials
• Track Pants - usually made from lightweight materials like nylon or polyester and do not stretch
• Leggings - while visually similar to yoga pants, leggings tend to be thinner (potentially allowing underwear to be visible) and are intended to be worn under other clothing.
