We’ve opposed it, but tights continue to be viewed as pants by many. And, last spring, jeans fused with leggings to become “jeggings.” Now, exercise apparel company Athleta is trying to sell us on their Bettona Pant, “a yoga pant that thinks it’s a jean.” With a faux fly, rivets at the pockets, and contrast stitching, these pants have jean-like details but are made from a stretchy, sweat-wicking, breathable fabric with an antimicrobial finish. Sorry, but we don’t get it. Why can’t tights just be tights, and leggings just be leggings, and jeans just be jeans, and yoga pants just be yoga pants?! Can we stop combining clothes and trying to give them multiple functions? [Athleta]

I’d actually like a pair of these to wear at work. I’m a massage therapist so I need really comfortable pants that I can move freely in. These appear to be comfy and have more of a “jean” look… works for me.

I like them! Don’t worry though, I wouldn’t try to wear them as a substitute for jeans.

I see no difference between these and maternity pants, except perhaps the size in which they are purchased.
