When searching for the best yoga pants and workout leggings, there are many things to consider. Vogue editors say that leggings must be flexible enough to be worn at home and still look good for running in the park.
Whatever your favorite activity, whether it’s hot yoga in the studio or a spin class in the living room, finding the right balance of leisure and athletics is crucial.
We asked our colleagues for their top picks and we gathered their favorites. They are so flattering that they will even do some sculpting for your body–no squats necessary.
There are many essential all-black pairs available, including Spanx’s tight pair or Alo Yoga’s sleek and smooth style. You are looking for something with more flair? You might like a style with flared bottoms. This is one of our favorite yoga pants trends right now.
These are the essential styles that Vogue editors won’t let go of. Below are 19 of our favorite yoga pants.
Steff Yotka Fashion for yoga pants
These leggings are simple black and high-waisted. They reach my ankles from the couch to my yoga mat on the kitchen floor, to my daily walks with my dog.
These are great for all kinds of activities. Walking outside, Zoom calls, Tracy Anderson workouts and cooking. These are my uniforms.
I love Spanx leggings! They make me feel great before any workout begins.
Spanx Look at Me Now seamless leggings
I enjoy yoga but I don’t like leggings. This is why I haven’t paid much attention to my workout clothes. It took a pandemic for me to let go of my basic, now faded and threadbare black yoga pants that I’ve worn for many years.
The leggings from Prism2 are the perfect upgrade that I have been searching for since forever. These leggings are flattering and more flattering than any other pair I have worn. This is due to their jersey-to-stretch ratio.
They keep you in place without making it uncomfortable. The silhouette is cut high at the waist and pairs well with a sports bra.
The same Outdoor Voices leggings have been my favorite for many years. They’ve served me well for any activewear occasion: running, yoga, running, lifting weights, or curling my biceps in the bedroom. They are the perfect thickness, the fit is great and they are so colorful!
Outdoor Voices Warmup leggings for yoga pants
Fabletics’ classic black leggings are the right amount of compression, stretch, and comfort to allow you to work comfortably from home or exercise at home.
Beyond Yoga’s leggings are my favorite. These are the most comfortable yoga pants I’ve ever worn. They also offer the perfect amount of compression.
The brand’s bra tank tops are a great match for the high waistband. I highly recommend them. You will find several Beyond sets in various dark colors in my closet.
Beyond Yoga midi high-waisted leggings
This high-rise pair Tory Sport leggings is my favorite because it comes with a matching sports bra (and sweater!) My yoga mat is my favorite place to be.
I find that being dressed up in a head to toe workout looks helps me focus on the work at hand and not worry about the emails.
Although I am not a yogi, I can now put my favorite yoga pants to good use since I have been working remotely.
They are comfortable and soft, and make the perfect #WFHOutfit. All you have to do to make your next Zoom call is to add a blouse.
After they became viral last year, my sister gifted me Lululemon’s super high-rise flares. They are truly amazing! They’re perfect for me at 5’4″ and I was concerned they would be too long.
They might need to be hemmed for shorter girls. If you are lazy like me, grab some extra-sharp scissors to cut them yourself.
These pants are my favorite. These pants are like tight, vacuum-packed sausages that suck into your body.
These Athleta leggings are the best I’ve ever worn! They are very soft and reach just above the ankle.
High-rise crop leggings are my favourite (and most denim cuts by chance). These are perfect for yoga and early morning runs. They don’t make me look too shabby when I wear them right after a run to the park with my toddler.
Cropped leggings are my favorite for being five feet three. They reach to my ankles and don’t require hemming. These Alo leggings can be used for both yoga and high-intensity boxing.
