Even some of the most dedicated fans of yoga apparel giant Lululemon have multiple reasons to want to diversify their workout wardrobes. While the company was at the forefront of establishing the "athleisure" style that is so common today, you may want to branch out and find other companies that suit your style, yoga practice, and budget better.

The marketplace has exploded with options for great looking, functional yoga clothes. Take a look at a few brands that are widely available in the U.S. Also, check out local yoga studio boutiques for more unique options. Or if you're just over the whole thing, try your asanas with no pants at all. Whatever gets you on the mat.

Athleta

Athleta, which has been owned by The Gap since 2008, specializes in clothing for active women. If you're looking for a basic legging or bootcut pant, there are plenty to choose from here. The range of sizes is kind of amazing, too. Some styles come in regular, tall, petite, and plus-size up to 3X. With stand-alone stores in more than 43 U.S. states, you can try before you buy, though the size selection in-store is more limited.
