What do I wear with these yoga pants?

It's summer, I'm bored of denim/chino shorts, and in a moment of clarity/insanity, have decided to fully embrace the Vegemite of fashion — yoga pants as streetwear.

The problem though, is that I have absolutely no idea as to what I should pair them with! These are the 3 'starter' pieces I have bought thus far. They're pretty thick, they've passed my squat test with flying colours, and there's no camel toe on display here so no worries I'm not limited by any of those factors. Mainly looking for something I can wear to the shops/brunch.

Any suggestions, wise fashionistas of MN? Grin

Put some proper clothes on fgs

They're yoga pants so maybe a yoga top? I can't imagine wearing them with anything else at all. You will always look like your on the way to a yoga class though, not sure if that was the look you were going for?

I think it's an Australian thing. You don't see it much in the UK.

How are yoga pants not 'proper clothes'? I was out yesterday and a good majority of people were wearing boardshorts, tank tops, and thongs (flip-flops), which IMO, isn't any 'better'. Yoga pants are widespread during the cooler months (usually with a sweater/coat) and I was just looking for ideas to summer-ify them, that's all.

Tough crowd here. As someone else said- not much yoga-pantage going on in the UK... except if you're about to get into a downward dog. What are other yoga-clad specimens wearing on top? Maybe just replicate them?!!

Black t shirt.

fallfallfall · 07/12/2019 00:15

anything tight and color coordinated. usually includes a built in bra but looks like layers
this is streetwear in canada as well. make sure your footwear doesn't clash too much.

Crop top and massive trainers. I'd roll the top of the pants down too for the full instagram gym-bunny look.

dudsville · 07/12/2019 04:30

So, I haven't seen this but I'm going to suggest the white trainers and two layers of top. Something fitted and then a loose top, maybe that's waffled or meshed a bit.

I'd look on yoga sites such as Alo Yoga, LuLu Lemon, Yoga Rebel etc for ideas.

Bigredumbrella · 07/12/2019 05:01

Lots of people wear them where i am, usually with a cropped tshirt or sweater or a tank top. Take a look at the lululemon website for some inspiration

Be careful of light grey, so impractical for yoga or anything vigorous

riverrunsred · 07/12/2019 08:45

I'm very much of the opinion that we should wear what the fuck we like, but I would perhaps invest in some that a) aren't grey and b) look a bit...less cheap.

Sweaty Betty or similar stuff can be picked up on eBay for a fraction of the retail price and if you want to wear yoga stuff day to day, then you need to not look like you've wandered out of F&F.

Sweaty Betty have some nice sweatshirts which go well with yoga / workout leggings. Again, not the cheapest, but they look good.

A yoga top?

wasthatamistake · 07/12/2019 10:42

I'm Ozzie op Smile nothing weird about yoga pants. I'd just get some nice quality white T-shirts and a pair of La Coste or nice sneakers like in the photo.
