They're fine for quick errands and the gym. I wear them out and about with gym shoes and ponytail.

I don't find yoga shorts or yoga pants trashy at all. I think people who don't like them just can't pull them off or have the body for it.

If you're in shape or not is beside the point.
That's true. You don't have to be in perfect shape to wear them.

Do you remember when the fad was for girls to wear sweat pants with things across the butt like "juicy, naughty, etc"? I'm glad that hasn't caught onto the yoga pants. Can you imagine a pair of yoga pants with the word juicy across the butt? They are already accenting their butt by wearing them.

ETA - now that I have seen your measurements and weight, you need to keep those shorts in the gym. Don't even walk down the street in them, put some pants on if you don't want to shower at the gym. Those shorts are not for you.
Oooh, burn.

Is this directed at me? I'm 135 lbs & 5'4 my weight is mostly muscle from intense strength training. What are you talking about? Who said anything about showering at the gym? I have an athletic body and the only trouble area I have ever mentioned here was my waist and butt cellulite which even my size 0 friends have.

Your posts always have a snotty tone, but I never pointed it out. This is just borderline trolling.

I wear some pretty revealing clothing and I wouldn't wear those. Not that I think they are too revealing or anything but I would feel like I'm wearing something from the 80's and I'm sure my camel toe would show LMAO

Pear, ignore her. She has serious issues. Don't even take one of her words with a grain of salt

First off, most of the dissenters here aren't saying they don't like them. Just that they don't like them for street wear. As for not having the body being the reason for not liking them, maybe it's just that they have more class than a$$.

Why do most of the posters here want to dictate what others want to do?

Those things would be considered 'causal wear' on South Beach.
