Actually it's the poor fit of both. Jeans, while they can certainly look bad, will pretty much ALWAYS be an improvement over stretchy yoga-type pants, on people with unattractive rear ends. The fabric is thicker, so there is much less of a bulgy bumpy mess. Of course if women would stop thinking that their fat asses look good in anything, and that no one minds seeing their disgusting blob of a rear, then none of this would matter.

Workplace yoga pants. Now that's a line in the sand that even I won't cross. Not even on Casual Friday.

Strange, because I see still see skinny jeans everywhere. A very common outfit for teen girls here involves blue skinny jeans, white shirt and leather jackets.. incredibly common actually.

A lot of people do wear joggers though - particularly from Adidas.

wemon can wear yoga pants, spandex but they must be given permission by the opposite sex first if you a large person.

I find jeans to be very comfortable. I don't wear skinny jeans. I buy jeans that actually fit me. I don't try squeezing in a cookie sheet when only a muffin top will fit.....get what I'm saying?

Now bras on the other hand.....OMG! EVIL EVIL EVIL torture devices that only someone who hates breasts would ever force upon women!

Those aren't "yoga pants" no matter what the manufacturer calls them. When did you ever see yoga pants with belt loops?

They're just trying to cash in on name recognition or the assumed comfort associated with "yoga pants". Further, stretchy dress pants for women are not a new thing.

Yoga is such a misnomer for what the attire is.

Yoga pants are supposed to be wide leg, roomy, white cotton sort of "zen" wear, not the skin tight look.

Stretch leggings? You mean long tight underwear. Cover up ladies. Your parts are showing.

Yes. "athleisure" is comfortable. Nice to get in to after work.

Athleisure is the most depressing trend ever.
