Sometimes it can be difficult to find the right workout pants. They come in many different styles, and are sold everywhere. It is important to have workout pants that take you from the gym to the grocery store, without looking foolish. And it's important to choose pants that fit you well while remaining comfortable. Choose a fabric that wicks moisture away from the body as you sweat to prevent chafing or a rash.
For Every Figure
My absolute favorite workout pant is the Victoria's Secret Yoga Fold-over Pant. These pants come in a variety of colors and lengths, and have a slim fit and a boot-cut leg. You can choose full length or capri length. You can also customize your order for the appropriate inseam so that your pants aren't too long or too short. The fold-over waistband is extremely comfortable and, most importantly, they are flattering on every figure. Price: $29.50.
For Cold Weather
As a runner, I can tell you that warmth without bulk is extremely important. When exercising outdoors in colder temperatures, you need to have fitted pants with great insulation. My top pick for outdoor wear is Under Armour ColdGear Frosty Tight Leggings. (Available for men, too.) These pants keep you warm and dry, without adding weight so you can keep your fast stride. They're also great for walking and cycling. Price: $49.99
Most Luxurious
If you have a little room in your budget, splurge for Lululemon Groove Pants. Theses pants are flattering yet stylish. They are also made of a wonderful fabric that wicks moisture away from the body while keeping you comfortable. Find these great pants in local yoga/fitness studios, or order online at Lululemon.com. Price: $98
Best All-Purpose Pants
Sometimes it is great to stock your closet with pants that you can wear for any activity, from lifting weights to group cycling class. My top pick for all-purpose workout pants is the Nike Knit Knot Women's Yoga Capris. They come in a great variety of colors and look great on. Price: $40.
