In the seven weeks since I bought them, I’ve never once worn my Sweaty Betty Garudasana yoga pants to practice yoga. JoeC Feels cheap, looks shiny I have an original pair from before the fabric change, these new one feel awful in comparison. As someone who prefers to do my exercising in the comfort of my own sitting room, I’ve never bothered with fancy sports attire.

Unlike them, they don’t cling in a way that could verge on the indecent if seen at the wrong angle (happy-baby pose, to name but one).From a humble Notting Hill-based boutique to an international brand, Sweaty Betty is on a mission to empower women through fitness and beyond. And a few weeks ago, I even wore them under a sparkly ’60s minidress to stay warm during a back- garden Zoom hangout. Boasting a cool-sporty aesthetic and highly technical fabric, Sweaty Betty supports women of all shapes and sizes in their fitness endeavors and beyond. Knitted with four-way stretch so you lunge to your thighs' content, they're deemed as 100% squat proof and even wick away moisture. I recently bought the grey and cream in the sale and like other reviewers have said, the fabric is now much thinner.

I love wearing Gary's because they are non restricting and easy to wear and lounge in as well as being great for more yin styles of Yoga, but I can't give them 5 stars as they are too short. null love GARY collection Love love love the GARY collection - the best casual trouser / legging around. With activewear collections filled with performance-boosting technology, endorphin-enhancing patterns and innovative Earth-friendly fabrics.Bukee17 Gary Yoga trousers I purchased a pair of the Gary yoga trousers last year, but the material isn’t the same as my previous pair.

Fitted cuffs also keep them in place, plus they're kitted out with pockets to keep your essentials together while in class. Founder Tamara Hill-Norton (the OG Sweaty Betty) explains: “Back in 1998 it was a very bleak landscape for women’s activewear. The fabric is thinner than that of most tracksuit bottoms but heavier than most leggings, so they can be worn with a waist- or hip-length top.

And while they’re not baggy, they fall softly from the hips, gently hugging the legs before being gathered into long ankle cuffs. Running, HIIT, barre, Yoga or Sunday lounging – whatever your favourite activity is, Sweaty Betty has the kit you need to smash your PB, push through one more rep or kick back and relax.

They are still soft but have a slight shine to them which makes them look cheap and is also less flattering as they’re thinner so you can see lumps and bumps through them. Sweaty Betty redefined activewear, shaking up a dull and uninspiring scene by combining bold, dynamic designs with technical performance to create pieces women wanted to wear and be seen in, and helping to kick-start an athleisure trend that’s still going strong today. On the other hand I already have the cropped version and absolutely love them, the fabric is super soft and comfy.
