Yoga pants

Yoga pants for the studio, the gym and every day: high waisted Evolve Seamless Leggings with a scrunch bum, and mid rise Legacy Sculpt Leggings. Both are squat proof, in sizes XS to XXL.

Our yoga pants

The Evolve Seamless Leggings are high waisted, with seamless contouring panels, a supportive waistband and a scrunch bum, made from 100% recycled lycra. The Legacy Sculpt Leggings are a mid rise in 75% nylon and 25% spandex, with the same supportive waistband. Both pass the squat test, so they stay opaque when you fold forward or hold a deep lunge.

Yoga pants or yoga leggings?

Much the same thing. In the US, yoga pants is the everyday name for fitted, stretchy leggings, while in the UK most people say yoga leggings or just leggings. Older yoga pants were looser and flared below the knee, and you will still see flare yoga pants and bootcut yoga pants sold that way. See all yoga leggings and flared leggings.

What to look for

For yoga and Pilates, look for a waistband that stays flat when you bend, enough stretch for deep poses, and fabric that stays opaque. A high waist gives more coverage in twists and inversions, and a mid rise suits anyone who prefers the waistband lower. Fitted yoga pants sit close to the leg, so they stay out of the way on the mat.

How yoga pants should fit

Yoga pants should feel snug from waist to ankle without digging in, and the waistband should not roll down when you sit or bend. If you are between sizes, size up.

What to wear with them

Pair them with a low impact sports bra or a bralette, add grip socks for the studio floor, and throw on a hoodie for the walk home. Black yoga pants go with everything, or see the full leggings range.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right size for me?

We are very much true to size so we recommend sticking with the same size that you normally wear. If you are in-between sizes then we recommend sizing up.
Are Powerlete leggings and shorts squat-proof?

Yes, Powerlete leggings and shorts are 100% squat-proof, providing full coverage and confidence during any workout. It’s essential to choose the correct size, especially since our seamless items are made from a woven material that ensures durability and flexibility. Proper sizing guarantees the best fit and maintains the squat-proof integrity of the fabric.
How tight should gym leggings or shorts fit?

Gym leggings or shorts should fit snugly but not feel overly tight or restrictive. They should hug your body comfortably without digging into your waist or thighs. A good fit means the fabric moves with you without bunching, sagging, or sliding down during your workout. You should be able to move freely, squat, and stretch without feeling restricted. If you notice any discomfort, pinching, or see the waistband rolling down, the fit might be too tight and you should try a size up. Conversely, if they’re slipping down or feel loose, you might need a smaller size. The right fit provides both support and flexibility, allowing you to focus on your workout without distractions.
What’s the difference between gym leggings and regular leggings?

Gym leggings are specifically designed for performance, offering features like moisture-wicking fabrics, four-way stretch for flexibility, and enhanced durability to handle intense workouts. Regular leggings, on the other hand, are typically made for casual wear and may lack the technical features needed for high-impact activities.
