In Jenna Belmonte’s article ” Yoga Pants Lend Comfort, Show Off Figure on Lazy Days” she discusses how the yoga-pant proliferation and phenomenon become a zenith due to the comfort that yoga pants give to women and that it is essential to purchase the right fit when shopping for yoga pants.

Belmonte begins : “When shopping for yoga pants, it is imperative to keep length, fit and color in mind. You need to make sure the hemline of the pants is not too long. Yoga pants can help make your legs look leaner and longer, but if the fabric pools around your ankles or drags, you will appear shorter. It is a pain to hem yoga pants – and any pants for that matter –, so it is best to keep searching until you find the right length – just below the ankle.”

She goes further into fit by stating: ” As for fit, you want to make sure your yoga pants show off your shapeliness. Always try on the pants before purchasing them and be sure to check out the fit from every angle, paying close attention to how the fabric rests on your thighs and posterior. You don’t want the pants to accentuate any trouble spots you may have, so pick a fit that is snug but does not strangle.”

Lastly, if you wondering what color yoga pants Belmonte recommends,  she states that black is the best bet In regards to color and that she would not recommend light grays or bright colors unless you are very comfortable with the current look of your legs, because these shades tend to be less forgiving and accentuate flaws.
