only my "Lucy" brand ones. Forget the pricey Nordstrom Zella pants...

Aside from the woman who teaches yoga and pilates at my gym, I don't think so. But I suppose the Lululemon-wearing masses would disagree.

My legs are too stubby to wear yoga pants anywhere other than the gym.

I've never tried them but I seriously doubt the stretchy material
could stretch far enough to cover my booty.

The only time they looked good on me was right before I got married and I was in amazing shape. I still wouldn't wear them anywhere but to workout and home again, but I could pull them off w/o making sure I had my a$$ covered! Not anymore!

I do have a pair of maternity yoga pants that I absolutely love, but the booty MUST be covered!!!

ETA: The women in the Athleta catalog I get look amazing- of course- and make me want to buy everything in there after I have this baby. Like I'm going to look like them---HA!---but they make me want to!

Nope

It shows off my cellulite to much.
The only time I wear yoga pants is in the dark or when I have a very ,very, very long shirt.

4 year olds look cute.

Good call. 2yo, too. Not fair that they can wear them and when someone says, "Oooh, look at those good chunky legs!" it's okay!!!

And yes, I've had people say that about DD- both in leggings AND in her bathing suit! Poor kid!

I wouldn't look good in them but I do see a lot of moms at target who wear them and they look good in them.

Yup, those Athleta models doing the perfect Cobra and Warrior, but I am convinced they never had kids, cause when I put those very same pants on I know something went terribly, terribly wrong!

Yes, I know many ladies who look great in them.

Everyone I can think of who looks really good in them is:
a) under 24
b) never had kids
c) less than size 6

Then again, I get that they are quick, easy and comfy for mom's running around so I don't think too much about it when I see mommy friends wearing them.

Ya know, I may be totally kidding myself, but I think I look better in yoga pants than in jeans or slacks or sweats! They have to be a very dark color, though. I have 40 pounds to lose, but am lucky that my booty is a J-LO type - big but luscious. But then again, maybe I really don't, ha ha :)

I like how I look in yoga pants, and I'm still a bit jiggly after baby #3.

What I'm looking for is men's yoga wear for my husband that is not going to make him feel effeminate. He enjoys yoga but wears the worst grey sweatpants with elastic around the ankles and a baggy grungy t-shirt.

ANother possibly delusional mom here but I think I look pretty good in them. Mine have the fold over top so they aren't crazy low rise style (which doesn't look good on me). I don't know, they hug the right places on me and redefine the nice shape I have on my bottom half. I know they aren't real pants so I resist the urge to wear them in oublic except the gym. But, at home I think I look pretty cute.

The mom at ds's gymnastics though...not so much. I see why too much of her butt and thighs and they aren't pretty.

I like them (at least what I *think* are yoga pants) especially the ones with the foldy band at the waist, like the ones at ON now. But not the super tight ones. Those are ridiculous.

As long as you ignore my thrice-pregnant belly, I think I look okay in them. I have a very nice booty, if I do say so myself.

Not me. Definitely not me. Even before I had kids I had saddlebags which made me look terrible in knits. I have 20 lbs to lose now and i swear it's all hiding in my saddlebags (how convenient). Wearing yoga pants makes me look like I"m hiding a kid under each butt cheek. Not pretty.
