Why do women wear yoga pants everywhere?

I fully admit that I have no real booty to speak of and just kind of an up/down square waist-hip figure, so maybe that is why, but I could not feel LESS scandalous than when in my yoga pants or capris! If anything the cold weather running leggings (or summer leggings) for working out in are much more scandalous looking (but still, its gym gear!) Girls have been wearing track suits/sweat bottoms to school (MS and HS) since I was in school...........when the earth cooled- how is this new?!

Yes...but in the 80s are track suits/sweats were baggy heavy cotton with that elastic at the ankle. There wasn't even tight Juicy back then. The real scandal were the tight Jordache/Calvin/Vanderbilt/Guess designger jeans which is nun-wear nowadays!

I don't think yoga pants, in and of themselves, are a problem. Don't wear them at a nice eating establishment, please, but as long as all the bits and pieces are covered or at least not highlighted I seldom notice them. HOWEVER- last week there was a mom picking up her child at an Arlington Montessori school wearing skin tight gray yoga/workout pants and a tight little top. She has a nice body and is proud of it. But she may as well have been wearing flashing neon suspenders pointing at her crotch. Half a block away you could see that crotch approaching. No one is looking at your awesome abs when you are offering up your lady bits like a "parental guidance suggested" anatomy lesson, scaring gay men everywhere. Please, Arlington Montessori mom, switch out the pants or wear a longer shirt.

Laziness. Same reason I wear jeans everyday. Aside from the few who are really mixing up their outfits, most of us are probably not in a position to feel superior!

if you wear yoga pants for comfort, why the hell would you wear a thong???

Maybe she wears skin tight because that's what feels best to her. Maybe she wants to look sexy for men. Either case, what a woman wears is her choice, as long as what she is wearing is not blatantly lewd indecent exposure. A case of "camel toe" is not indecent exposure because the crotch is covered, and it is not lewd because the form of the female body is not lewd.

I had my second baby 6 months ago and still cannot fit into my old pants/jeans. I did break down and buy another pair of jeans, but I only have one pair and with a reflux an issue, I can only wear them once before cleaning again. I hate it, but all my pre-pregnancy yoga pants fit so I wear them when the jeans are in the laundry. I can't wait for spring/summer so I can wear my skirts!

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 wouldn't consider a meal at Lost Dog "out to dinner." It's a small step above McDonalds.

But come on over to Country Club Hills - tennis dress season is right around the corner.

It has nothing to do with hating the female body, idiot. It's about common decency. The same goes for the outline of male genetalia in spandex, in public. Is there a large dick project we should check out, too?

Yoga pants are soft and comfy and don't cut into your midsection like jeans do. I can wear a long top over it and go almost anywear during the day. I don't buy clingy ones, they are cut a lot like boot cut jeans. The capri style/legging style ones I reserve for actual workouts. Most women I see, even older and portly ones, look pretty good in yoga pants.
The unfortunate trend I am seeing in DC is loud leggings and fold down shearling trimmed boots.

I wear lululemon and athleta with longer tunics and flats. I look better in this outfit than jeans and a sweater, IMO.
And I go to yoga 4-5 times a week and work from home part time.
