How to Choose Your Size in Yoga Pants and Leggings

Buying leggings online is easier when you know which numbers matter. This guide walks through how to measure yourself, how to read a size chart, and what to do if you land between two sizes.

Step 1: Take three measurements

• Waist: around the narrowest part of your natural waist.
• Hip: around the fullest part of your hips.
• Inseam: from your crotch down to where you want the hem to end, such as the ankle.

Use a soft tape measure and keep it level and snug without pulling it tight.

Step 2: Read the size chart the right way

Our charts list garment measurements, which means the piece measured laid flat. A flat waist or hip number is half of the full circumference, so double it to compare with your own measurement. Each product page shows its own chart, and you can switch between inches and centimeters. The full size guide lists every style in one place.

Step 3: Think about stretch and fit

Leggings are made from stretchy fabric, so the garment will measure smaller than your body when laid flat. That is normal. If you like a very compressive feel, choose the size closest to your measurements. If you prefer a little more ease, go for the next size up.

Between two sizes?

Choose the size that matches the fit you like best. If you plan to wear your leggings for training, many people prefer the snugger option. For lounging or Pilates, a bit more room can feel more comfortable.

Pick the length that suits you

Check the inseam or outseam on the size chart. Full-length styles such as our High-Waist Flare Yoga Pants list the inseam, so you can compare it with your own leg length.

The High-Waist Bootcut Flare Leggings chart lists outseam, measured along the outside of the garment, rather than inseam. Compare the same measurement on a pair you already own; do not compare outseam directly with inseam.

Choosing a matching set

The Zip Jacket & Flare Leggings Set includes a fitted zip-up jacket and high-rise flare leggings. Its product page has separate charts for the jacket and leggings. Check both pieces rather than choosing from the leggings chart alone. The leggings length shown for this set is outseam; do not compare it directly with an inseam measurement.
