Well. My pants split at the gym today. Pants recommendations?
Doing some stretches in aerobics class today and my crotch split. My dignity will recover in time. But the pants are toast, the fabric started to unravel once the seam split.
All of my snug fitting gym pants seem to have seams that start to fray after less than 10 wears. A little breakage, a couple threads, usually still holds together overall in my better quality pants, but these cheap ones didn't stand a chance.
My lululemons have broken threads and so do my Walmart pants. What are you guys buying that is holding up to major stretching? TIA!

I can't speak to the top name-brand stuff because it exceeds my budget, but I find Old Navy holds up pretty well. I really like their compression leggings. After losing a BRAND NEW Joe Fresh pair to the brutality of the washing machine, I asked my best friend, a super intense gym-goer, for recommendations and she swore by Old Navy as well. So I'm buying more for when all my Wal-Mart purchases inevitably fail me.
Awesome, I haven't tried there yet thanks!
Worth a shot. I've had my first pair of the mid-rise compression leggings for about 8 months now, and they're still in good shape. I jog 2-3 times a week and do free weights, stretches, aerobics and weight machines in 'em so I think they're a solid bet for any weird manoeuvres your routine requires. I also love how they don't roll down like most leggings do around the waistband (avoiding the awkward chub-fold/crotch-droop situation), but that's just me and it probably depends on each person's body dimensions.
I work at a climbing wall and my old navy leggings have held up really well. The harness rubbs at my inner thighs and I've had no issues with my leggings. I prefer the high waist ones because my shirt rides up, but old navy leggings hold up really well.
