Yoga type pants

What are your favorite brands and styles for yoga pants, both in terms of fit and durability?

I have to admit that I've tried very few yoga specific pants and instead just stick with Nike's Dri-Fit pant because I like how they fit me and they last forever. I have one pair in particular that I'm partial to and they have held up incredibly well. I've had them for at least 4 1/2 years and despite weekly wearings and washings (I air dry them) they practically look brand new minus a slight amount of fading.

Yoga pants are one of those things that I don't want to spend a lot of money on... I end up buying them at Marshall's or TJ Maxx. I do like pants with a wide, flat waistband and a gussetted crotch- more comfy, IMO. As long as they have those features and they're affordable, I don't worry about brand.

AT $60 or so for the Nikes, they're not cheap really but like I said; they do last. I've gotten my money out of them for sure. The few yoga specific pants I've tried are not cut generously enough in the seat. I'm a bit of a pear, and I want my butt covered as much as possible in poses like down dog. Some of the women in class leave little to the imagination.

The reason I ask about brand and durability is that I like to wear them when I am tooling around the house and be able to run errands in them and not look like I just stepped out of the gym. I've been buying some champion ones from target for $20 bucks or so, but they look so faded and trashy after just a few washes that I don't wear them out of the house anymore.

I love the Marika ones at Target/TJ Maxx. They're fitted well at the waist for a curvy bottom.

But I don't have a dryer and they don't fade nearly as quickly drying on the rack in my kitchen.
