11 Best Yoga Pants For Working Out (And Also For Lounging)
Are you comfy enough?
getty Whether for yoga class or lounging around (and not going to yoga — we don't judge), yoga pants and leggings are comfortable pants that are built to move with you in a way that keeps you flexible.
But, of course, the best yoga pants can come in endless colors and styles — high-waisted, cropped, flared, boot-cut, and so much more. And the ones you go for, whether pink and metallic or a staple like black, you'll probably be wearing these pants more than anything else in your wardrobe.
