23 Best Yoga Pants of 2022—It’s Vogue’s Definitive List

​​For yoga practitioners, it’s never a good sign when halfway through class, your pants begin to slide down your waist or scrunch up around your ankles. Yoga is an often meditative practice that’s about connecting your body and mind, so it’s best not to plague yourself with annoying distractions. The best yoga pants may differ in style, but their purpose is to become almost unnoticeable—to let you enjoy your practice without thinking about what you’re wearing. The same can be said for any occasion—mat not required!—when you’re wearing yoga pants.

What you may think of as traditional yoga pants (or flared leggings, thanks to TikTok) may be a pair of slim, stretchy, flared pants. But, in truth, yoga pants come in a myriad of styles. There are leggings, which hug your legs to the ankle, and flared iterations. There are neutral hues, bright colors, and even wacky prints. And, while spandex may be a familiar material, cotton with a slight stretch can be a worthy choice for working out too.

Ahead, you’ll find a breakdown of 23 styles that we recommend for your own practice. Since these labels also have long lists of celebrity fans, know that you’ll be in good company, even if you’re doing a quick 10-minute flow at home alone.
