Compressive, high-rise leggings will create a streamlined silhouette and won’t fall down when you run or do a Downward Dog. These design features will affect both form and function. Yoga pants vary in how high they sit on the waist as well as how thick and compressive their fabric is. Whether they’re durable tights approved by personal trainers, super-stretchy maternity leggings, or even a yoga skirt that can be worn from “studio to street,” you can find recommendations for every style and price below. The pants on this list have been praised by fitness instructors, yogis, and other experts we’ve talked to.

Although the term “yoga pants” might mean different things to different people, here I’ve defined it to be pants made of a thick enough material to cover your butt (even when you’re in Downward Dog) and stretchy and sweat-wicking enough to get you through your class, a run around the park, or a day at your desk comfortably - regardless of silhouette. But wading through all the styles and brands to find a pair that fits well, stays put when you move, and actually looks nice is no easy task. In theory, these should be the most comfortable pants you own. Whether you’re working out or working from home, yoga pants are probably somewhere in your day-to-day wardrobe rotation.
