1. They Might Help Dial Down Your Stress Levels
Once I explain this, it probably won’t come as much of a surprise, but how comfortable you feel could have a real impact on your levels of stress. If you tend toward anxiety most days, you might want to consider investing in a few pairs of soft, cozy yoga pants that make you feel good from the inside out. A nice pair of tight yoga pants and an oversized sweater can go a long way toward making a daunting day seem a little more approachable.
2. They Make It Easier To Exercise
Kind of obvious, right? But I can’t tell you how many times I’ve copped out of a workout because I forgot to pack a pair of yoga pants to change into. Fun fact: If those stretchy bad boys are already a part of your outfit, not only are you avoiding that problem, but it’s also been said that wearing clothing you can exercise in can actually make you feel more ready and motivated for your workout.
3. They May Be Better For Your Health Than Regular Pants
Hear me out on this. Clothing of any kind that’s too tight and restrictive can make it harder for you to breathe, and in some cases, can actually have the effect of numbing your limbs if you’re wearing clothes meant to alter your shape in one way or another. To state the obvious, that’s not good for you! A sweet and soft pair of yoga pants won’t have that effect, as long as you prioritize comfort over tightness when you shop.
4. You Can Stretch Anywhere, At Any Time
I’m the type of person who will lunge in a grocery store if I feel like I want or need to, and wearing pants that stretch comfortably makes this a real possibility.
The health benefits of stretching are simply boundless, so wearing your yoga pants at all times means you can do a downward dog next to your desk, or effortlessly pop your leg up onto a fence the moment the impulse strikes. You do you, girl.
5. It’s The Perfect Pair Of Pants For Every Occasion
You can wear them to brunch under a sundress. You can pop a long dress shirt over them for work. You can take a yoga class in them (duh), or go for a jog around the park. You can add heels and a sexy sweater, and go get a drink with a friend. All of these things are possible in your trusty yoga pants!
6. These Babies Are Usually Really Cost-Effective
OK, yes, you can buy yoga pants that cost an arm and two legs (see what I did there?), but you can also get a hella nice pair at Marshall’s or Target on the cheap. Besides, regardless of how much you’re actually spending, the versatility makes the dollar amount pretty worth it in the end, no? There are lots of other benefits which you can take from it.
