Is it wrong that I (straight guy) have been wearing women's yoga pants?

My local grocery store had them on sale for $9.99 and they seemed kind of like
the work out/X-country ski pants type of thing that I have paid $80 to $120 for
from Patagonia, L.L. Bean, or Nike? I didn't get the flower pattern ones just a
basic black type.

I wear some shorts over the top of them to hide the woman doing her stretching
logo.

BTW I'm asking for a friend.

men's v-neck t-shirts to wear as sleep shirts.

BTW, depending on the color, you might take a Sharpie to that stretching woman to make her blend into the background.

A lot of men's clothes are cheaper than similar women's items.

will know if you're wearing those shorts over them. If you don't feel like wearing the shorts, get a black marker and cover up the logo. If anybody happens to notice, tell them how much money your saving.

Black out the logo and go shorts-less.

Why did we always zero in on Rudy Nureyev when he performed. 👀 😊

I've always worn guys' articles of clothing to a point.

Dancers, gymnasts and other men wearing leotards or form fitting uniforms wear them. They have a bit of padding/lining.

The buttons are on the wrong side, but otherwise....

I think yoga and sweat pants are pretty gender-neutral.

My neighbor guy wears orange yoga pants with big pink polka dot shorts over them when he bikes. He says it makes it easy for the drivers to see him. Yes, that's definitely true.

And, at that price 😂!
My now grown sons have been wearing black womens cuddle duds as ski underwear for years-
I’m not sure they ever realized that they were women’s.
Got them at Sams Club for $12.

I wear men’s tshirts sometimes. When my boys were teenagers And had outgrown clothes I would wear them to work when I painted or gardened.

Wear what you want. Life is short.
