I like wearing compression boxer briefs when I’m working out my legs because it creates a positive feedback loop. It’s easier to discern when I’m contracting a compressed muscle. My girlfriend has told me this argument extends to yoga pants.

No one I know really cares what anyone else wears to the gym. So it’s especially weird to give a loud mouthpiece to someone railing against something with utility.

One more thing: yoga pants do not “reveal every dimple and contour of imperfection”, or whatever the exact quote was.

What's really funny is that this is New York bitching about yoga pants. Out here on the left coast we went from yoga pants to leggings like four years ago. Now nobody is even pretending to wear their yoga pants for working out. They wear shit that makes them look good.

My wife, professionally, wears dress yoga pants pretty much every.single.day. You know why girls wear yoga pants? Because the number of women who look great in yoga pants is far greater than the number of women who look great in jeans, and the number of women who are comfortable in yoga pants is far greater than the number who are comfortable in jeans.

Leave Britney Alone.
