Liz CA Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 If I have one do I have the other? :lol: I am obviously not a fashion maven or I would not be asking this but I hate to spend money on something if I may already have a pair by a different name...

AK_Mom4 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 My leggings are thinner material than my yoga pants. Also my leggings fit tight to the leg where my yoga pants flare a little below the knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 No. Yoga pants have a slightly looser fit, more like they are bootcut, and a low, wide waistband. Leggings have a tight fit all the way down, like leotards (but heavier, hopefully), and a higher, narrower waistband. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Think of yoga pants as boot cut and leggings as skinny cut. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 You need to make a trip to Old Navy (kidding) Yoga pants are nice for aerobics workout at the YMCA. Leggings is a lazy and warmer alternative to tights/pantyhose/stockings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I think they're both comfy, but yoga pants have a looser fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Leggings you wear with boots. Yoga pants you wear with ballet flats. ;) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leggings is a lazy and warmer alternative to tights/pantyhose/stockings. I have never had a pair of leggings that was anything like tights. They're all much, much thicker. Some of my yoga pants are thinner than my leggings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I have never had a pair of leggings that was anything like tights. They're all much, much thicker. Forever21 and H&M leggings are thin which is okay for local weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeacefulChaos Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Haven't read other replies, but here's my personal answer: Yoga pants (link to VS ones, which are my personal faves) - super comfy. Made for comfort and flexibility. Fitted but not skin tight. (Remember, this is my personal definition.) Mine, for example, have a fold over waist, a slight flare on the leg, and are wonderfully comfortable. They still make my backside look good. Or does my backside make them look good? Not sure. :lol: :lol: :D Leggings (link to Charlotte Russe leggings, which I also like, but I have several brands and no definitive favorites) - also comfy, but a very different style than yoga pants. Mine aren't quite as comfy as my yoga pants, because there is a traditional elastic waistband, and I'm not as skinny as I once was. ;) Leggings are best tight, not loose in any way. They come in varying degrees of opaqueness, which is important to know when wearing. :lol: They wear differently - at least mine do. My yoga pants, I generally wear with other comfy clothes, but not long shirts that could come across looking baggy or oversized. Something like this, this, or this - not a tight shirt, but something with some flow, and not too long. Something that I can conceivably hang out in all day at home, that feels as good as my pajamas but still looks really cute. (If I'm wearing my yoga pants to actually exercise in some way, I'm usually wearing a tank top, but usually I exercise in shorts.) My leggings, I wear much the way the CR website has - with long sweaters or tunics, under dresses or skirts occasionally, with shorts and boots, etc, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimm Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 It's very common to get confused by this. People on my facebook are always ranting about women wearing yoga pants because they are too tight and see through. Ummm, not my yoga pants. Those are leggings, or even tights.
