You look down in shock and horror and realize you are wearing the same black yoga pants for the second day in a row! (Deep breaths..)

Have no fear! You can take those yoga pants from frumpy to chic in 5 minutes or less with these easy and effortless fast fashion tips!
Yoga Pants To The Rescue
Think of your most favorite piece of clothing. Maybe it’s an old, soft, knitted t-shirt? Or perhaps a large hooded sweatshirt that swallows you up in the coziest snuggle of your life? You love it because you feel comfortable, confident and it makes you feel like everything is right in the world! (Sigh)
[Enter Yoga Pants]
Yoga pants are all those things and more! You can actually use yoga pants for more than just yoga exercise! (Btw, if you need some awesome exercise-with-kids-around tips, we’ve got you covered.)
Let me tell you, if you don’t already own a pair of yoga pants, you are MISSING OUT; it’s a must in every mom’s wardrobe:
- They are stretchy enough to flatter that miraculous postpartum body
- They hug just the right amount of curve
- They are easy to wear when chasing the littles all day long
- And most importantly, they come in black! (Because instead of a little black dress, every mom NEEDS a black pair of yoga pants!)
You can’t go wrong with yoga pants because they come in so many varieties, colors and styles to fit all your fashion needs:
With yoga pants your wardrobe isn’t limited by time, season or occasion. Yoga pants is your answer to an effortless, but trendy, outfit change when you don’t have much time!

Tip #1: Layer It Up
Layers, layers, layers! You can use just about anything with your yoga pants.
The key to fashionably layering your yoga pants is to choose something that makes your yoga pants look like they were chosen on purpose and not just because you were short on time.
In other words, layers instantly take your yoga pants from “play date” to “chic date.”

Tip #2: Accessorize All The Things
It’s time to think outside the jewelry box and accessorize! And I don’t mean just the bling. There are LOTS of ways to add interesting details to plain old black yoga pants:
- Statement Necklaces
- Charm Bracelets
- Dangle Earrings
- Fashion Scarves
- Elegant Headbands
- Stylish Belts
- Classy Jacket pins
Accessorizing your yoga pants outfit will add a touch of glamour and sophistication that the usual ponytail yoga accessory is lacking. Even better, use multiple different types of accessories in one outfit. Try a cute scarf like this or a set of fun bangle bracelets that feel good to wear as you’re sauntering down to dinner.

Tip #3: Fabulous Footwear
I know this may come as a surprise, but you can actually wear more than just flip flops or sneakers with yoga pants! *Gasp*
Think outside the tennis shoe box and look for comfy ballet flats, sophisticated heels, strappy sandals or butt-kicking boots. As you’re picking out your finishing footwear, keep these tips in mind:
- Go Bold: Use a shoe with a pop of contrasting color or pattern.
- Go Complimentary: Match your shoe with a color in your layers.
- Go Glamorous: Choose a shoe that rocks the same jewelry in your accessories.
Leave the sneakers at the front door and step out with shoes that will give you a mega-boost in comfortable confidence. The “Frumpy” has been left on the couch, it’s time for “Fabulous” to take over!
