In the land of stretchy bottoms, few things rival the best yoga pants—and finding a pair of workout leggings that’s a tiptoe away from pajamas can be as satisfying as falling asleep in savasana. The perfect yoga pants are a closet must-have, no matter if you spend your mornings doing sun salutations or just want to add some leggings to your wear-sleeve-repeat rotation.
We know, we know, it can be tempting to write off structured activewear when dressing for comfort and heat—but looser doesn’t always mean comfier. And even if you’re not hitting the yoga mat, you still need a great pair of yoga pants for walks, hikes, and bike rides that won’t roll down or squeeze you like a stress ball.
So many brands, from Alo Yoga to Girlfriend Collective to Nike, are dedicated to delivering the “perfect” multihyphenate leggings, and you can find them everywhere you look, including Amazon, Nordstrom, and REI. And with the range of styles, colors, and cuts currently out there—cropped, full-length, yoga shorts, leggings with pockets, sweat-wicking materials, boot-cut yoga pants—settling on the right pair can start feeling overwhelming and very un-zen.
So we went to the experts—real people who teach yoga—to find out what they actually wear when perfecting their yoga poses (or just lounging around). Check out their top picks below for the best yoga pants.
