As a busy mom, I have two pairs of yoga pants. This might leave you with a few burning questions:
- Why do you have more than one pair?
- Why only two pairs? I have a whole drawer full!
- Do you actually do yoga?
- Why bother with yoga pants if you don’t do yoga?
Why Two Pairs?
Let’s tackle the first question. Why two pairs? Simplicity is key in my life. One pair is for daytime use—perfect for running errands, chasing after the kids, or lounging around the house. The second pair, however, is a bit more… unconventional. I call them my “evening pair.” This doesn’t mean I wear them for fancy outings; rather, they are designated for home use only. They have holes in places that would definitely not be suitable for public viewing (nobody wants to witness my granny panty situation, after all). These pants are reserved for cozy nights in with Netflix and a tub of ice cream—my guilty pleasure.
Why Only Two Pairs?
Now, why do I only have two pairs? Well, the aforementioned “evening pair” is hardly fit for going out. The other pair, my go-to, is what I wear almost daily. I make sure it stays clean because, let’s be honest, the only way a load of laundry gets done around here is if my yoga pants are in the mix. If I only have one decent pair, laundry gets done more often. It’s a little life hack I picked up along the way—Martha Stewart would approve!
Do I Actually Do Yoga?
As for whether I actually do yoga—nope! I used to, but if you’ve ever attempted yoga with toddlers climbing all over you, you’ll understand why it’s been a while. On the bright side, my flexibility has improved thanks to all the bending and stretching I do while retrieving lost toys and snacks.
Why Own Yoga Pants?
Now, the big question: why own yoga pants if you’re not a yogi? Isn’t that like wearing a chef’s hat without being a chef? Yes and no. Sure, it might seem like I’m trying to project an image of that fit mom who jogs at dawn and enjoys green smoothies. But really, wearing yoga pants is about embracing a lifestyle.
These pants give me the freedom to run after my kids without worrying about a skirt flipping up or skinny jeans making me feel like I can’t breathe. Sure, leggings could be an option, but I’d have to wear a tunic to feel comfortable—and that’s just not realistic on a busy day.
Yoga pants are incredibly versatile. They’re not pajamas (the name clearly states “pants”), but they’re comfortable enough to pull off the pajama look if I want to. They’re the ultimate lazy-day outfit. Just throw on a hoodie, maybe a baseball cap, and voilà! You’re ready to face the world, or at least the grocery store, looking effortlessly put together. Plus, they help hide the postpartum pooch while still allowing room for nachos!
In Summary
In short, yoga pants are my wardrobe MVPs. They make me feel like Martha Stewart, Harry Potter, and Audrey Hepburn all rolled into one. To anyone who thinks they’ve gone out of style, I completely disagree. As long as there are tired moms out there, yoga pants are here to stay.
