Soft, Supportive, and Stylish: My Honest Love Letter to Old Navy Activewear π
When I told my yoga friends that my go-to leggings are from Old Navy, they were shocked.
“Really?!” they asked.
But honestly? I love them—and they’ve completely earned their spot at the top of my list.
What sets them apart? For starters, the fit is incredible. Their leggings come in petite, regular, and tall—and yes, they really do work for someone like me at 6'4". I’m not exactly blending in at yoga class, especially when I’m swishing around in bell-bottoms and baby pink... but somehow Old Navy makes it work. Whether you’re tiny, curvy, long-legged, or padded like me, there’s something that fits like it was made just for your gorgeous self.
I wear mine through everything—pigeon pose, squats, warrior flows, child’s pose—and yes, even Happy Baby (and I do mean very happy, thank you very much). The high waist stays perfectly in place without rolling or digging. It’s that sweet spot of support and comfort I didn’t even know I needed.
And the fabrics? Obsessed doesn’t even begin to cover it.
π My Old Navy Favorites:
✨ High-Waisted StudioSmooth 7/8 Leggings
These are buttery-soft, breathable, and have a barely-there feel that makes them my go-to on warm days or for gentler flows. The hidden back pocket is a lovely bonus, and the Go-Dry tech keeps me cool and dry, even in the sweatiest classes.
✨ Extra High-Waisted PowerSoft Flare Leggings
These are my Yoga Mom pants. The soft bell-bottom shape gives them that cute, flowy, retro flair—like a subtle nod to a groovy ‘70s yoga goddess. The PowerSoft fabric brings light compression and a peachy-smooth feel, while the high waist keeps me hugged in all the right ways. Whether I’m in tree pose or grabbing a post-class smoothie, these make me feel put together, powerful, and totally myself.
✨ Extra High-Waisted CloudComfy Boot-Cut Leggings
Soft as a literal cloud. The lightly textured finish and wrap-front waist make these my favorite for cozy mornings, gentle stretching, or journaling with my tea. They feel luxurious, like loungewear with an elegant twist.
✨ High-Waisted PowerSoft Full-Length Pocket Leggings
These bring all the PowerSoft goodness—plus pockets! I love pairing them with tunics or crop tops for a cute, casual look that still feels ready for the mat. Supportive, flattering, and versatile.
π Jogger Joy
Let’s talk about my other love: High-Waisted PowerSoft Pocket Joggers.
I have so many beautiful pairs, and they are divine. The soft peachy fabric, gentle compression, and stylish high waist make them perfect for days when I want to feel relaxed but still cute. With real side pockets and a flattering jogger cut, they’re amazing for travel, errands, or just a diapered stroll around the lake. They’re like leggings in jogger form—hello comfort, meet cuteness!
π Coordinated & Confident
And of course, Old Navy’s matching sports bras and active tops deserve their moment. Whether I’m layering a cropped hoodie over a coordinating set or pairing a bra with high-waisted leggings for a sleek silhouette, their pieces let me create outfits that feel totally put-together.
And can we talk about the colors? From dusky navy and heather gray, to that rich, bold Boxwood or as I call it wine I love so much (hi, Yoga Mom pants!), to the soft serenity of lavender and minty brights, Old Navy offers a palette that lets me dress how I feel—confident, calm, joyful, and yes, a little crinkly and cute too.
One of my favorite looks? My Boxwood Wine leggings and sports bra with a black ribbed tank—cute, functional, and fabulously me.
Most of my pieces are ordered online—Old Navy’s tall sizing makes that easy and reliable—but when I do shop in-store, it’s always at the Valdosta, GA location, where the staff are beyond wonderful. A special thank you to the kind, stylish blonde woman who’s often there during the weekdays—she’s been incredibly helpful, welcoming, and genuinely kind. It means more than she probably knows.
So yes, I may be the diapered yoga mom at the studio or the girl sipping a latte in her PowerSoft joggers, but one thing’s for sure—Old Navy Activewear is part of what helps me feel strong, supported, and stylish every single day.
And don’t tell Old Navy this... but I’d pay double. π
