Fashion Pet Peeve
Pretending that yoga pants are dress pants.
Don’t go there! I know the Yoga pants today are darker and nicer than ever before, and certainly wearable out of the gym or yoga studio…but they are still casual sporty pants THAT ONLY LOOK LIKE DRESSY BLACK PANTS FROM A DISTANCE, meant to be worn with casual sporty accompaniments, whether working out or at the mall.
Shoes: If you are not into running shoes type shoes (and really, I don’t get why anyone that doesnt own at least one pair of sporty shoes would be into sporty pants, but whatever) then yoga pants also work fine (for summer) with casual flip flops. But please, noplatforms, loafers, pumps, dressy boots, strappy sandals or heels of any style with yoga pants. It just looks wrong and I cannot take it.
Tops: T-shirts (long and short sleeve), tank tops, hoodies, and casual sweaters work well with yoga pants. Blouses, business type shirts and dressy tops do not. Don’t do it. You are the only one that thinks your yoga pants are passing for actual dress pants.

So, if you aren’t against a little bit of re-wearing (it is a great green habit!), hop on over, and make it spiffy.
The bag I narrowly avoided buying:
