Yoga pants and leggings are fashionable items that you can wear to different events or for various activities. You wear them when you go for a run, gym, and even when you do yoga. But most women out there do not know the real difference between yoga pants and leggings because they look much alike. The two are entirely different, and you should know what they are to wear the right one at the right moment. Yoga pants are supposed to be used mainly for yoga, while leggings are meant to be worn under your clothes to give comfort and warmth.
Yoga is much more comfortable than leggings because it is more flexible while leggings aren't. Yoga pants are always more thick, elastic and opaque and are made from fabric cotton, spandex, and Lycra which can withstand wear and tear from the medium of several yoga poses with reinforced stitching to avoid tearing during yoga. They are specially designed to enhance you to reach the expression of all yoga pose. On the other hands, leggings are made of non-elastic materials, generally thin, and are designed to be worn under long skirts to give warmth and comfort. Leggings are only made with natural stitching that can easily rip during a yoga pose.
