In the United States, reaction to the wider adoption of yoga pants proved somewhat controversial for schools. Some schools adopted dress codes banning yoga pants for all students, or banning them only for female students.

Girls from middle school to college wear yoga pants to classes because of their high level of comfort. However, not everyone is accepting of the new trend. In February 2015, representative David Moore from Montana proposed a bill that would make wearing yoga pants in public synonymous with indecent exposure, which would be punishable by a maximum of 5 years in jail and a $5,000 fine. Moore received immediate backlash from the public and media and he quickly claimed that including yoga pants in the bill was a joke. The bill was unanimously tabled.

Due to their similar appearance to traditional dress pants, women can easily get away with wearing them to work without reprimand from their bosses for breaking the company's dress code. Women's reasoning for wearing them to work is similar to the reason why young girls wear yoga pants to school: comfort.
