A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

That’s why Men in Yoga Pants exists. But the truth is, there just aren’t enough men stretching and posing in yoga pants.

We created this project because it’s odd and fun. An unsettling sentiment among several in the athletic apparel community suggests yoga pants “don’t work on some women’s bodies.” So, we went ahead and decided to showcase the versatility of yoga pants on men—of all types.

That, and there are just too many gross websites dedicated to “sexy women wearing yoga pants.” Let’s push some social constructed gender boundaries and stop the hypocrisy. Or at least try.

This is a photography project by Robert (@hovden) and Jacqueline (@skyisalandfill) with assistance from Mike (@miketheasian1).
