What's so incredibly awesome about yoga pants that y'all wear them year-round, even in 25-degree weather?

The rest of the time, it's jeans.

(4,492 posts)LEggings and yoga pants are comfortable.
Maybe it is my body type, but I can't find a pair of tights/stockings that are not torture devices. I have yet to find a pair that fits right.

(55,445 posts)Forgive me, it's not like I'm running my fingers inside them when I'm shopping to see how warm they are.

(38,611 posts)Actually, I bought them when I had surgery that left me with an abdominal catheter, and I had to go back to work. Big enough and loose enough to hide everything.
When the catheter was removed, I never wore them out of the house again.
The bigger question is... "what's up w/ the leggings?" Tight and not flattering to most women.

Don't wear them myself, but I understand they're as effective as sweat pants for warmth and look ever so much better.

(16,393 posts)Most of the very young women I work with wear leggings and tunics and they look great. Me: I'm not overweight (by much, anyway) but I just don't feel right wearing them at work. I have done it but felt naked from the waist down, kind of like in a bad dream. I say wear what makes you feel good.
