Title: See-Through Yoga Pants

Oh thank goodness somebody brought this up.  A few months ago I had the misfortune of seeing a young woman (who definitely wasn't in shape to wear them) at Panera in some see-through yoga pants.  There was nothing left to the imagination, back OR front, and I can't believe her friend didn't say anything to her.  I didn't know what to do, how do you walk up to a stranger and say "pardon me, but...".   Finally they got their order and sat down.  And bike shorts are also see-through.  All you fitness types, we know you are very proud of the fact that you work out and it apparently must be chic to run around town in your workout togs, but take a look in the mirror first!  You probably should have had a shower and changed clothes anyway.

The easiest way to handle this would have been to tap the young lady on the shoulder and then tell her she could use a bikini wax.  That ought to do it.  lol

See this at the gym occasionally. I assume one or more of the following: 1) they didn't try them on beforehand, 2) the fitting room didn't have the right kind of light, or 3) they didn't look at themselves from every possible angle before buying them.

There's also the possibility they just didn't care, and who am I to judge?

Sorry, but I can't help myself, but for those of us who do not regularly attend yoga classes need a visual reference before making a decision one way or the other.

After extensive research, I have come to the conclusion that 'See-Through? Yoga Pants' are acceptable.

If people want to engage in public nudity, I have no problem with it.

And you thought WalMart had the corner on these.


It seems to me that often women want men to look them in the eye and not the........other parts. Maybe that is a good idea for everybody.

I have no problem making it a crime for "certain" people to engage in public nudity.  Some things should not be seen by the public.   :P

I think the problem here is some women are buying yoga pants that are a few sizes too small for them.  All the manufacturer has to do is what many other manufacturers of women's clothing do, and change how they size things.
