Yoga Pants

I can actually pinpoint the exact time that wearing yoga pants to places other than yoga class became popular.
It was a couple of years ago, when a store named Aritzia first started cropping up in and around the Toronto area. With their high priced stretchy spandex flared pants, and matching tops in their TNA line, it was the dream of highschool girls everywhere to own a pair of these $75.00 pants.
Now, a couple of years later, the dream has moved on. Highschool girls have refined their tastes, and are dreaming bigger; owning a pair of $100+ lululemon yoga pants.
Wow, girls! Dream big!

Yoga pants are called yoga pants because they are for people who do yoga. If you are not going to yoga class, don't wear them.
They are constructed for people who do yoga. Not for girls who like the way they make their butt look.
I work at a store that has a yoga line, and any time a 16 year old girl comes in to try on our yoga pants, my coworker and I have taken up the habit of asking them what type of yoga they do. The same goes for anyone we see who walks in wearing yoga pants, preceeded by "Oh did you just come from a yoga class? Is there a studio close by?"
