The 9 Best Pairs of Men's Yoga Pants

Remember the days of having to choose between performance and style? With the rise of athleisure, you no longer have to settle. Joggers, sweatpants, and tights have become sleek and tapered for a more fashionable appearance while being engineered with fabrics to make them as soft and stretchy as possible.

Whether you need joggers for a yoga class-to-brunch morning, tights for compression as you exercise, or durable yet comfortable pants for a labor-intensive job, the best yoga pants for men have got you covered.

Chill in the air? These compression tights are made with a warm polyester fabric that’s also moisture-wicking, so you can get a sweat on without soaking the material. Wear them to a class at a drafty yoga studio, on a cold day, or for a winter run. 

These wear-anywhere Freeflex pants are water-resistant, which means they can handle a light rain or puddles on a hiking trail while also being exceptionally stretchy. The gusseted crotch ensures freedom of movement while practicing yoga or rock climbing.

The ribbed waistband keeps these sweatpants snug around your hips while the textured fabric feels comfortable on your skin. They’re excellent for building heat in a vinyasa class or lounging around the house, since the cotton in the fabric blend adds a bit of weight and thermal insulation.

When you think of the best yoga pants for men, these should immediately come to mind. Made from a blend of hemp and polyester, they’re incredibly stretchy and roomy without feeling loose. Plus they have odor-reducing qualities and are comfortable enough to make them an incredible pair of practice (or pajama) pants.

Breathable and lightweight, these leggings will make you forget that you’re even wearing them. They fit like a second skin, retaining their form as you practice yoga, run, cycle, and much more. The second skin nature is perfect in a yoga class because the mobility of the pants won’t restrict your movements.

These joggers are some of the most comfortable—and versatile—pants that you’ll ever own. The ankle cuffs and waistband keep them snug on your body as you practice yoga, run, rock climb, and anything else that gets your body moving, while being extraordinarily soft and stylish for running errands on a chilly day. They’re especially cozy to wear when working from home.

The quick cord waistband on these pants allows for cinch-fitting comfort, keeping the pants secure around your hips as you stretch your legs in yoga or extend your stride during a run. Plus, the cotton fabric is nice and warm for slow Restorative or Yin yoga classes.

As creators of trusted yoga gear for over 24 years, it’s no surprise that Manduka’s joggers were built with your practice in mind. The relaxed fit provides ample space to move without constriction while the drawstring closure keeps the pants firmly around your waist.

Level up your morning flows with unparalleled warmth. This base layer provides the perfect balance of next-to-skin contouring and elasticity so they’ll hug your body without feeling tight or constricting. And merino wool naturally moves sweat away from your body, so the pants won’t soak through in a sweaty class.

Ah the hour-long yoga class. It’s quite luxurious, isn’t it? But let’s be frank—some days, it seems impossible to carve out a large chunk of time for your practice. If you ever feel this way (and who hasn’t?) know this: even a few minutes of movement can make a huge difference in how you approach … Continued
