10 best yoga pants and leggings, tried and tested by a fitness writer

I looked for leggings and pants that stayed put during my sessions - (Ashleigh Spiliopoulou/The Independent)

Whether you’re stepping onto the mat or heading out for brunch, the best yoga leggings are an absolute wardrobe essential. As the activewear’s popularity booms there’s now a huge range to choose from, ranging from £20 high-street options to £130 high-performance flares. However with so many options available, finding comfortable, high-quality yoga pants that actually perform can feel overwhelming.

As a former track athlete and daily yogi, I’ve spent a month testing top-rated yoga leggings to separate the best from the rest. To help you avoid common pitfalls like see-through fabrics, rolling waistbands, and uncomfortable chafing, I put dozens of pairs through rigorous workouts to find the best yoga pants for every style, budget, and practice. I know just how personal yoga pants can be, with the right balance of style and comfort being key to a confident practice.
