yoga pants
noun [yoh·guh pants]
1. a subset of leggings but with more performance attributes, such as a higher and wider waistband that helps keep the pants in place to prevent them from falling down and giving people even more of a show than they’re already getting because there’s only but so much hoeing that can be done with plausible deniability while working out.
2. article of clothing people were able to perform yoga without for thousands of years before its creation and marketing by apparel manufacturers who were able to convince millions of women that bending over in all sorts of provocative poses in public settings around men is better done in tight, stretchy bottoms than in looser shape-concealing garments that don’t reveal everything.
3. leggings designed for the purpose of performing yoga in comfort but are mostly the default clothing option for a lot of women for whom the closest they’ll ever get to downward facing dog is doggystyle with their face buried in a pillow.
