I just bought a pair of yoga shorts from victoria's secret and I love how they look. Lets just say they look sexy but I'm not sure if they're too sexy. I would say my booty is a little more round and legs more muscular than the models below.

I would wear them to the gym, running, maybe for a morning stroll, to starbucks, and lunch after the gym with girlfriends.


I would like this thread to be the summer edition of the "Are yoga pants skanky" thread.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

I think they are acceptable, but I look my shorts shorter than that.

To me, they'd be fine for exercise, but I'd look askance at a woman who was wearing them as actual streetwear. Seems like the shorts version of "leggings are not pants."

I am going to say yoga or gym only. But those types of shorts are the kind that are perceived wildly differently based on your body type. If you don't have a butt, no one cares. If you (have one) do people will think you are "skanky."

Gym. Beach and pool social times also ok. (easy on/off over suits)

No text on them. Don't really care for that on anything though.

They're not trashy, but I don't like them at all.

A little bit on the trashy side... not a lot, but you're definitely gonna get unwanted attention from men... or maybe it is wanted.. IDK...
