I have a pair of the BetaBrand yoga dress pants and have been wearing them for two years. I did originally buy them for casual work days, but I couldn't pull them off. While the material is thick, there's no sheen, the stitching looks like pants, the quality is great...it's just too tight across the butt and thighs. I'm a size 6, but I don't need my colleagues to know the exact shape of my butt. However, they are a really great pants for work flights where you need to look put together but be comfortable. I wear them on the weekends a ton. But I can't wear them to work.

I have a pair of the BetaBrand ones. I got them for a poorly-planned corporate planning meeting that involved a romp around the park. They were perfect for that -- during the active portion of the day, everyone else there either was uncomfortable in more professional attire, or looked sloppy in athletic gear. I have also worn them on long flights and would recommend them for that as well.

They look fine on, and if you have a casual office, you could probably wear them to work. Unfortunately, I do not, so other than the park romp day, I have not worn my dress yoga pants to work.

But no, you need to be at least mid 60s and through menopause and just over the tight waists of clothes to wear these as anything other than sweats

No idea what this person is talking about. I'm young and wear these to work: https://www.betabrand.com/collections/dress-pant-yoga-pants-collection/womens-black-straight-fit-dress-pant-yoga-pants.html

+1 these are great. Person you quoted is clueless.

IMO those look like pants that NY and CO and other brands like that have been selling for YEARS and for more like $40, which is what you should spend on elastic pants made of this material.
They look fine for business casual but the fabric and fact that they are stretch everywhere does in fact make them look more casual. They just do. They fall differently. We can agree to disagree but I'm hardly clueless.

I have these too and love them. I think they are called ponte pants. I initially got them for long flights, but they ended up looking nice enough that I wore them to work.

I own two pairs - the black pair has a slight touch of sheen to them, but the grey pair does not. So I think it depends a little on the fabric.

I have a pair of cigarette pants from JCrew that kinda fits the category. I love these pants!

Ditto. Crunchy, stiff and not yoga like at all to me.

My husband bought me a pair of these. I had never heard of them before. They're comfortable but I would never wear them to work or to yoga! Too casual for the office and the fabric is too thick for yoga. I also don't like the fake pockets.

At $150 a pair, they better be comfortable.

Love Rekucci and BodyLove. But limited colors and no pockets on Rekucci, at least on the ones I like. Does Betabrand have pockets??

Do the beta brand pants have a sheen to them? That is the only thing holding me back from trying them. Don't like the sheen that stretchy clothes can have sometimes.

Oxymoron. No such thing.
