Why Every Mom Loves Yoga Pants

Let’s talk about yoga pants. I’ve got two pairs, and you might be wondering a few things:

  1. Why do you have more than one pair?
  2. Why only two? I’ve got a whole drawer full!
  3. Do you even do yoga?
  4. Why wear yoga pants if you don’t do yoga?

Why More Than One Pair?

Let’s tackle the first question. I have more than one pair because I’ve got a “daytime” pair and an “evening” pair. The “evening” pair? Not for fancy outings like dinner dates or solo trips to the store. It’s more like the “I’m home, the kids are in bed, and I’ll binge-watch Netflix with ice cream” pair. This pair has definitely seen better days, with holes in places that would embarrass anyone—nobody wants to witness my questionable underwear choices.

Why Only Two Pairs?

Now, why only two pairs? Well, we already established that one of them would definitely get me a ticket for indecent exposure if I wore it outside. The other is my go-to, the pair I practically live in. The only reason I might wear something else is laundry day, which, let’s be honest, is also when I’m most motivated to get things done. If my yoga pants are dirty, you can bet I’ll be washing them as a priority. Kind of like Martha Stewart’s laundry philosophy, right?

Do You Even Do Yoga?

As for whether I actually do yoga, the answer is a big no. I used to, but trying to practice with two toddlers climbing on me is a whole different ball game. However, my flexibility has definitely improved thanks to the constant bending and stretching to retrieve lost toys and snacks.

Why Wear Yoga Pants If You Don’t Do Yoga?

And finally, the biggest question: why wear yoga pants if you don’t do yoga? Isn’t that like having a chef’s hat without being a chef? Well, kind of. Sure, I might not be the type who wakes up at the crack of dawn for a jog or a juice cleanse, but wearing yoga pants represents a lifestyle. They give me the freedom to dash around the house or chase kids without being restricted by a dress or tight jeans.

Sure, leggings are an option, but they come with their own set of rules—like needing a tunic to cover up. Yoga pants, on the other hand, are comfy and versatile; they can even pull double duty as pajamas. You can easily throw on a hoodie, hide your messy hair with a cap, and you’re out the door in seconds! Plus, they give off that “I’m sporty and put together” vibe, even if you literally just rolled out of bed.

They hold in my postpartum belly while still allowing for nacho indulgence. No buttons, no zippers—just pure comfort. And they often come in black, which is classic. Seriously, what other clothing item can make you feel like a combination of Martha Stewart, Harry Potter, and Audrey Hepburn?

I’m unapologetically a fan of my yoga pants. For all the naysayers who think they’re out of style, I beg to differ. Yoga pants are here to stay, as long as there are tired moms in the world.
