CHOOSE YOUR YOGA LEGGINGS

Are you new to Yoga, or a veteran? What kind of yoga wear do you choose?

1. Length and style:

When selecting a pair, the first consideration you need to make is what length and style are best for you and the type of yoga you practice. No one wants their poses impeded by their clothing, nor do they want to wear something unflattering or uncomfortable.

1.1Full Length vs. Capri

Whether you prefer to practice in long pants vs. capris or shorts is a matter of personal preference, as well as the climate you live in and the type of yoga you practice. Hot yoga practitioners often wear as little as possible in their heated studios. However, you're not leaving your house in shorts or capris in the middle of winter

1.2Straight or Flared leg vs. Leggings

The cut of your pants is entirely up to personal preference. Some people don't like the look of leggings and opt for straight cut or flared legs. Others prefer the feel of leggings during strenuous classes as there is less material flapping around. Some like to mix and match, practicing in leggings but wearing flared legs when running errands or lounging around the house. 

2. Different yogas different wear

When it comes to the type of practice you do, we have some tips for buying the perfect pair to complement whichever style you prefer.

Gentle Hatha or Yin

If you prefer your yoga calm and gentle, then comfort and fit are likely your top priorities. Look for looser cuts, full-lengths, and soft materials (including cotton or cotton-blends).

Basic Yoga

If you practice "Level 1" type classes with various poses but nothing too complicated, any leg design will work. Most tight leggings have enough stretch that they won't feel restricting, and some extra fabric around your calves and ankles likely won't get in the way if you choose to go with a looser pair.

Vinyasa, Ashtanga or Other Vigorous Styles

When performing a dozen or more Sun Salutations and a vinyasa between every pose, you'll want a pair that is streamlined and breathable. Look for leggings that are lightweight and breathable.

Hot Yoga

If you like your yoga extra sweaty and hot, you need to dress for success. In this case, less is more. Look for shorter capris or "booty" shorts that give your skin its maximum opportunity to breathe. Some of the models that we tested have short options.

3.Material

There are three options in terms of materials: cotton, synthetics, and cotton-synthetic blends. There are pros and cons to each one.

Cotton
Cotton is considered a "natural fiber," as it is grown rather than manufactured from plastic-like synthetic materials. Properties include:

• Soft feel

• Resistant to pilling

• Sheds pills when they do form

• Moisture absorbing

• Not as breathable as synthetics

• Prone to fading

Synthetics
There are many different synthetic fibers used in yoga pants. The most common ones are polyester, nylon, and spandex. You might see terms like "Lycra" spandex or "Supplex" nylon, which are trademarks of a specific type of this fabric. Synthetic materials are known for their:

• Moisture-wicking properties

• Propensity to pill

• Shape retention

• Stronger smell after sweating in them

• Not as soft as cotton against the skin

Cotton-Synthetic Blends

After reading the above lists, you'll notice that each fabric has positive and negative attributes. We'd love a pair that combines the soft feel of cotton with the moisture-wicking and breathable properties of synthetics without the stink or pills! Unfortunately, when combining the two in cotton/synthetic blends, you end up with a little bit of everything. While we've tested cotton-synthetic blends in the past, we left them out of the review this time as we have yet to find a pair that performs well. Material engineering is steadily improving, though, so you never know what the future of these blends holds; in the meantime, the best option is synthetic.

Why is synthetic best?

If you look at any endurance athlete or mountaineer, you'll notice that their gear is typically all synthetic. Cotton Kills is even a popular catchphrase. We don't need to worry about a pair of cotton yoga pants being the cause of our demise in a yoga studio (that headstand you're trying without proper alignment is more likely to do it!). However, we can learn a lot from extreme athletes about performance fabrics.
