Women were asked to answer three multiple-choice questions: age, how long they have been practicing yoga and what they wear under yoga pants (nothing, a thong or underwear). The survey revealed that 39.19% women wear underwear, 35.87% women wear thong and 24.94% women wear nothing.

Style Guide: How to Wear Yoga Pants in the Right Way

Pair them up with longer tops

If you think your yoga pants or leggings are too revealing or your butt is not your best feature, then pair them with shirt, eye-catching blouse or longer top that covers your rear end. But make sure that the top should not reach your mid thighs.You can also wear them with mini skirts or short dress.

Choose the right undergarments

Wearing wrong undergarments can cause visible panty lines and camel toes. Seamless panties and thongs avoid panty lines. Wearing nothing under yoga pants can be a bit too revealing as well as increase the risk of camel toe. So before leaving the house, check yourself.

Check thickness

Checking the thickness of the material is very important factor to avoid any embarrassing situation by showing a little too much. Thin-material yoga pants become sheer when you bend over or when it stretches.

Go for quality

Unlike cheap or discounted yoga pants, quality yoga pants work as a push-up bra for your butt. They have thick material, great fit and an extra panel in the crotch area.

Right size

Most of the women buy yoga pants a size smaller because they are stretchy. Poorly fitted pants are uncomfortable, cause camel toe, muffin tops and make you butt look weird & shapeless. Thus, wear perfect size pants.

Include a cover-up

If you are wearing a short top, then try to cover it up with jacket, cardigan or long hoodie.

Go for simple colors

Stick to black, brown or grey color yoga pants as they match up with most of the outfits. You can also wear other bright colour but avoid nude colored yoga pants. Nude yoga pants make you look like you are naked.

Distract Attention

Those who want to wear tight yoga pants can go for printed, striped and geometrical print yoga pants. They don’t reveal your figure and distract attention of viewers.
