Why do women wear yoga pants everywhere?

| Yoga pants may in fact be acceptably flattering on most bodies, but face it, ladies--they have about the same formality as pajamas (and I actually wear yoga pants AS pajamas). I don't care how good you look; unless you've obviously just come from a workout (or are in enough of a rush that you could plausibly be on your way to one), if I see you in yoga pants, I think you're lazy/sloppy. Put on some real pants! |

I find myself not caring what strangers think of me when I'm out and about. If I'm warm, comfortable and not obscenely dressed - then it's all good. Actually, I don't think I have ever gotten dressed and thought "what would this stranger who sees me on the street think of my character based on the clothes I am choosing today." |

Me, too. Jeans, and pants, and skirts, and dresses. People wearing yoga pants as casual wear look sloppy to me. Same goes for people wearing sneakers to run errands (unless you're a senior citizen, and your feet need extra comfort). |

See... this is my feeling (for the record: mid-30's, one kid, body in good physical shape). I wear them for the convenience factor on the weekends, and I do kinda feel like a slob. Like I need to be more Momtastic or something. But DH loves them. He always comments on them. And he is not one to fake a compliment. Weird. And why would OP assume that everyone's going commando under? Obviously we're wearing thongs (right?)!

| I wear them but I always wear low-hip length tops to prevent the creepers peepers CAT (cameltoe, a** & t**s) scan from the dads at the bus stop, guys at Whole Foods, worker drones in Reston TC et al |

As if DC is some fashion mecca instead of a town full of boring frumps. Snort.
Who gives a damn? Yoga pants are comfortable especially if you are running errands on the weekends in between chasing your kids at the park, doing laundry, and cleaning. Go ahead and judge me. I'll lose no sleep and couldn't give a whit if people are clucking their tongues like hens behind my back. |

Oh Horrors! If you dont like it cough up the cash for your child to attend school where uniforms are required. Yoga pants are not scandalous and if you find them too titilating might I suggest you go live under a bridge somewhere. |

I only wear yoga pants around the house and I'll wear them to the grocery store if I don't feel like changing - but if I see you out to dinner in your yoga clothes, I'm going to judge you. I'm talking to you, North Arlington moms! It seems like almost every mom I've ever seen at Lost Dog Cafe is wearing yoga pants and hasn't combed her hair in 2 days. I want to get up and shake them, and then give their husbands dirty looks for obviously not helping out enough.

| I only wear them to yoga, and then maybe a quick errand afterwards before going home to change. And I always wear a longer top on the errand trip. |

Not that pp but xs petite isn't a preferred look for many women(not to mention men) |

| OP, once you turn 40, you don't give a flying flip what other people think about you. Well, at least I don't care. Stare all you please, but I am not noticing you. |

| Well for me it started when I finally started going to the gym in the mornings and they have childcare for my son. I tend to wear workout clothes/yoga pants there and then once I'm done we run errands because we're already out of the house. By the time we get home I figure what's the point in getting ready because he takes a nap and we don't tend to go anywhere before dinner. On days that I don't go to the gym, I do my hair, put on makeup and dress in normal clothes...jeans, boots or flats, etc. |
