I’m always on the search for fab yoga pants. Even if ya don’t practice yoga, they’re great for workouts at the gym or just walking around the ‘hood. My perfect pair would be cropped (because I’m super-short and I hate stepping on hems), slightly flared or wide-leg and cute enough to wear in public.
The first pair I checked out was American Apparel’s Fine Jersey Capri Pant. They were def comfy and way easy to move around in. Key when you’re tryin’ to get tangled up in tricky poses! The down (dog) side? Cotton doesn’t wick, so if you’re sweating a lot…it kinda just sticks to ya. But if you’re sticking to low-key postures (like tree, downward dog…or chillin’ on the couch) you’ll be set as they’re a sweet alternative to sweats.
Next, I stretched out in So Low’s Loop Terry Foldover Crops, in bold ‘n’ bright fuschia. Normally, terry cloth isn’t my fave. It reminds me of those matchy-matchy track suits. Ick! But these pants were made flex with ya. They were extra stretchy (unlike, um, me!) and the thick waistband meant they didn’t ride up or fall down. These puppies are on sale right now, which is key—their original price tag is definitely outta my reach.
Om, is it just me, or do new athletic threads give YOU extra motivation to get moving?
