Ladies who wear yoga pants, do you guys get any criticism for wearing it ?

[Etrain2330]

There are yoga conventions?

I'd rather the yoga convention... I can drink scotch and go to the best strippers in niagara falls if I want to...but hanging out with a pile of good looking/not so screwed up people is more my cup of tea now...hmmm, I did have my stag at a rave club (guvernment) back in the day....

There were free yoga classes, tons of different booths and lots of energy in the air...my friend freaky Freddy antwi (google that!) is now the publisher of an mma/crossfit and yoga magazine...his booth was pretty cool...also, if you have never had a Thai yoga massage, I highly recommend...(no, not one of those you guys....come on...

Where I go to a school if we get caught wearing them they clock us out and send us home lol but nowhere else.
Haters gonna hate and yoga pants are sexy!!!

[Nosoalero]

I have a couple that I wear sometimes either when working out or just as casual with hoodies since I wear athletic clothes most of the time. I never thought of them as bad. I mean they are comfortable, and they look better than the sloppy baggy sweat pants I wear sometimes. Anyways, my older sister recently visited me and she got really argumentative with me because she's made a really narrow minded statement that girls who wear yoga pants are attention seeking and that only "sluts" wear them. I told her that there are bigger problems in the world than girls wearing yoga pants lol. She got mad at me. I am still really upset over this, because women are always being judged over what they wear. I understand that it's a totally different story if a woman walks around in her undergarments and then she is being judged. Why don't people make a huge deal about a guy wearing a tight shirt???

Unless your walkin around in booty shorts and a see thru sports bra your golden!!

It's sad that this day and age how a woman should look and their sexuality is topic #1.

I just wanted to come here and thank all yoga pants wearing women personally

ITT we learn that many people are incapable of independent thought and instead, allow their psyche to be manipulated by the pervasive Puritanical influence that has ruled this country since it was founded.

I've been a silent reader for a while, but I'd like to say something to the ongoing discussion :-). At first a little introduction, I'm from Germany / Europe (I'm female), please excuse my imperfect English now and then.

I think it's important to not give in in such stuffy accusations coming from your sister (or anyone else) regarding e.g. the yoga pants / leggins and the visible bra stripes.
Because if you give in, their ideology will take more and more space and you'll live life according to their suppressing moral standards - and that will not only take your freedom bit by bit, but will make you unhappy in the long run.

A little example - years ago no man wore beach shorts that are knee long and concealing to the beach in Germany. But the stuffy trend came and everybody changed their practical speedos for those unnecessarily "disguising", hindering swimwear for men (you have to try them on in water, they pull you down like a little weight during swimming - I gave it a try and imo they are deliriously incommodious and bad to wear in water), as if they have to be ashamed of their anatomy; whereas in women's case it's ok and accepted to wear tight, revealing swimwear - hello double standards...

But not everything became plain - for example in the summer some people still like to swim naked in rivers and lakes nearby. This is great in my opinion because it also holds up and secures partly freedom of the indiviual and it provides with liberating perspectives.

Hope you could understand my point of view :-). My advise is, don't give in when you're confronted with boring, stuffy conventions of narrow minded people (even if they are family). Continue to wear what you prefer and what you like most, more than ever when those complaining people are in your company.

Regards,
MeFromG(ermany) :-)

PS: I like to wear leggings too ;-).

[zizzfanatica]

Your sister is an insecure moron. Don't fret.

as long you feel comfortable with what you wear, who cares what other people think. I love yoga pants because they feel awesome and they look good.

Try since humans existed , though is not a good thing, it keeps your mind on your problems , your past , your future , your hopes , desires , ect...... We need to fully take in the NOW since that's all we really have.. When in the NOW , it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, when your at that level of thought the ego doesn't effect you the same :P meaning listen to yourself and do what makes you happy , its your experience have fun

How did you go from yoga pants to mary jane?

How did you go from yoga pants to mary jane?

Because people that are high say crazy sh!t?

I'm glad you explained that because I had no idea what she was talking about.

[BrotherWolf]

Totally agree, it's bizarre that in 2013 this is even an issue

[MrsBru]

Agreed. One of my sayings is "Just because they make it in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it."


Now back to the yoga pants debate. I say if you look good in them, then rock them.

LOL! I don't look good in them...well not compared to all the beautiful people that live in Austin...but I don't care, I wear them anyway. They're comfortable and some of the only clothes I don't care about sweating in. Typically you'll see me in them Sat mornings going to the grocery store, hair a mess from my morning cardio workout, reaking of sweat because why shower when you're just going to lift when you get home, topped off with no makeup, and some random likely permenantly stained t-shirt from one of my prior races. If it's summer, I'll rock flip flops with them, winter I'll put in the extra effort of tennis shoes. Sexy, eh?

My husband, on the otherhand, needs to be pretty to grocery shop. We're quite the sight when we go together...me in my yoga pants outfit, him all showered and hair combed rocking some nice color coordinated duds....

Frankly, I don't care what people think. Life's just easier that way!

[supersaiyan-dre]

fascinating

[jgttlb]

You'd wear the shorts for the attention right? That is the point of "showing off."

Not really. I'm pretty thick at the moment but I get plenty of attention. It's not about looking for attention at all, which to me is all an attention whore does. I don't think showing off has much to do with the opinion of strangers. I want to look hotter for myself.

[DaisyNP]

My argument to her would be it is less "slutty" to run in yoga pants then run in shorts that can ride up and show the rest of the gym your butt. Personally I only wear yoga pants when working out because when stretching or running they keep me covered and they don't bind or get in the way. So yoga pants are not just for the slut as she said.

[bigxjojo]

ladies who wear yoga pants in the gym is extremely sexy but I never try to pick up a female at any gym. They have the worst attitudes, even some of the less attractive ones, lol. If I don't know the person, I won't even bother speaking because they automatically think your trying to hit on them.

[thomps1523]

Your sister is an insecure moron. Don't fret.

haha, she may not be a moron, but it is silly to criticize yoga pants!

[thomps1523]

Agreed!

[JrM703]

I only criticize guys that wear yoga pants...

...cant hide much..

[thomps1523]

I thought so too...

If you're going to wear the short shorts to show something off, or even if you're not trying to show it off but know it's going to get that reaction, DON'T get mad when you get a reaction! That's like laying out a buffet and getting mad when the food gets eaten.

amen sister!

[Squatticus]

haha, she may not be a moron, but it is silly to criticize yoga pants!

The first time I learned not to give a F*c* about others I was 14 years old. I was a rhythmic gymnast, before we were allowed to wear tights or unitards. Of course, all the creeps came out of the wood work when my body was pictured on the cover of a large city newspaper, ESPN, etc. What really got on my nerves was my mom's need to show off my child body to everyone. And I mean everyone. It drew a lot of attention and comments.

And they were not compliments. They were calls from my very recognizable chem. teacher's voice on the phone, "I hear your bush needs trimming, would you like me to come over and care for it?" They were door calls from my dad's work buddies asking me on dates, they were complete strangers recognizing me at the water park and stalking me for a year or more.

They were not fans of my beautiful gymnastics leotard that was sport appropriate, they were all depraved psychos. My leotard, my athleticism, ignored. My body in my sports attire, suddenly a topic of discussion. Yes, at 14 years old. From men of all ages. Girls at school were just as presumptuous and horrid. Jealous, but wretchedly horrid.

There is pretty much nothing you can do when a psycho notices you but hope and pray someone else will catch his attention and he will move on.

P.S. Your sister is a psycho if she feels threatened by your awesome yoga pants.

Yoga pants, revealing *A holes in society since the appearance of spandex on MTV

[NatalieBartlett]

I used to wear baggy(ish) joggers in the gym but since wearing yoga pants once I cannot wear anything else! DO what makes you feel comfortable x x

[MadAlice]

and this is where being autistic comes in handy...no seriously, it's awesome not to pick up the 'vibes' of others in this sense...to the topic at hand, no in general but it's like that with all clothing and common sense (which many seem to be lacking these days) For example I don't use one machine in the gym because it's immodest even I picked up the 'vibes' from dudes looking at my rear while using a leg curl machine laying down style...I was wearing average stuff, but if attention is drawn to the rear area well yea...

Again it's common sense to me at least...wear things you like, and scratch your boobs and move on It's what I do, no one's bothered me about this or much else...just my two cents, your sister needs a bear hug and I'd give you one as well... (hug)

[Authenti]

Exactly lol!
