Flared and wide-leg yoga pants combine freedom of movement with an easy, feminine look. Wear them for yoga or Pilates, then style them with your everyday wardrobe when you leave the studio. 

Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, flared and wide-leg pants have two different fits. Flared yoga pants fit closely around the hips and thighs before widening from the knee. Wide-leg yoga pants fall loosely from the hips, giving you more room throughout the entire leg. 

Which style is right for you? In this guide, we compare the fits, waistbands, fabrics and lengths of our flared and wide-leg yoga pants. 

Flared or wide leg: what is the difference? 

Flared yoga pants, also known as flared leggings, have the fitted feel of a yoga legging around the waist, hips and upper legs. The leg gradually flares out from approximately the knee. This creates a streamlined, feminine shape while still allowing you to move freely. 

Wide-leg yoga pants have a looser fit from the hips down. They feel airy and relaxed, making them ideal for gentle yoga, meditation, loungewear and off-the-mat outfits. 

Choose a flare when you like a close fit and a more defined shape. Choose a wide leg when you want extra room and a relaxed feel. 

Our flared and wide-leg pants are made with soft natural fibres and stretch for comfortable movement. Depending on the style, you can choose organic cotton, bamboo or lyocell blends. Every Urban Goddess style is certified according to the GOTS or OCS standard applicable to its material composition. 

Our flared yoga pants 

Anandafied: the classic cotton flare 

The Anandafied are our classic flared yoga leggings. It has a slim fit around the hips and thighs, followed by a narrow flare from the knee. The wide waistband can be worn mid or high on the waist and stays comfortably in place as you move. 

Made from 92% organic cotton with 8% elastane, the fabric feels soft yet stretchy. With an inseam of 81 cm in XS–S and 83 cm in M–XXL, the Anandafied is one of our longer flared styles.

Pranafied: the adjustable flare 

Love the look of the Anandafied but prefer more control over your waistband? Meet the Pranafied. 

These flared yoga leggings has an adjustable fold-over waistband. Wear it higher for more coverage or fold it down to create a lower rise. This allows you to adjust the fit to your body, outfit or practice.

Aura: supportive and dry-fit

The fabric combines bamboo, organic cotton and elastane. It feels soft and is dry-fit, making the Aura a great option for more active yoga practices, Pilates and workouts. The inseam measures 78 cm in XS–S and 80 cm in M–XXL, giving it a slightly shorter fit than the Anandafied and Pranafied. These studio flared pants have a more sporty look and feel.

Cayha: extra-high waist with a refined finish

Its lyocell and organic cotton blend feels soft and smooth and has dry-fit properties. The Cayha is fitted without feeling like a traditional compression legging, making it a comfortable choice for yoga, Pilates, meditation and everyday outfits.

With a 75 cm inseam across all sizes, the Elun is the shortest style in our flared collection. It is a lovely option for gentle yoga, meditation, travelling, relaxing and casual off-the-mat looks. 

Choose the Elun if you want: 

  • A relaxed rather than legging-like fit

The Nyx is a lightweight wide-leg pant with a relaxed fit and soft waistband. Its bamboo and organic cotton blend feels smooth and light, making it especially comfortable for gentle yoga, meditation, travelling and warmer days. 

The legs are wide without having the extra volume of the Maeve. This gives the Nyx an easy, understated look that is simple to style beyond your practice.

Choose the Nyx if you want: 

  • A lightweight, relaxed fit

Which yoga pants should you choose? 

Your perfect pair depends on how fitted or relaxed you want your pants to feel. 

  • For firm support and a dry-fit feel: choose the Aura. 

  • For an extra-high waist and elegant details: choose the Cayha. 

  • For a relaxed flare or shorter leg: choose the Elun. 

  • For extra-wide organic cotton pants: choose the Maeve. 

  • For lightweight wide-leg comfort: choose the Nyx. 

How should flared yoga pants fit? 

Flared yoga pants should fit closely around your waist, hips and upper legs without digging in. The flare should begin around the knee and fall freely towards the floor. 

Length is particularly important. Ideally, the hem should almost reach the floor when you are wearing your intended shoes, without dragging underneath your feet. If you mainly wear your pants barefoot for yoga or Pilates, choose a length that lets you move safely and keeps the hem clear of the floor. 

How should wide-leg yoga pants fit? 

Wide-leg pants should fall loosely from the hips without pulling across the seat or upper legs. The waistband should feel secure but comfortable, while the fabric should have enough room to move freely around your legs. 

Because these styles contain more fabric, getting the length right is essential. Check the inseam of each style and compare it with a pair of pants you already own. 

If you are between sizes and prefer a more fitted look around the waist and hips, choose the smaller size. For a softer, more relaxed fit, choose the larger size. Always check the measurements and fabric composition of the individual style before deciding.

From yoga studio to everyday life 

Flared and wide-leg yoga pants offer the comfort and flexibility of activewear but feel polished enough for the rest of your day. 

Pair your flared pants with a fitted top or yoga bra to balance the shape. With wide-leg pants, a close-fitting or slightly cropped top defines the waist and keeps the look balanced. Add a soft longsleeve, cardigan or structured jacket when you leave the studio. 

From fitted and supportive to soft and flowing, there is an Urban Goddess style for every body, practice and personal style.
