Are Yoga pants and other tight trousers indecent?

Are yoga pants a threat to public decency? It might seem so after the beloved athletic wear but US  lawmaker is debating it as indecent  and said the pants "should be illegal".

Montana lawmaker David "Doc" Moore received national attention this past Wednesday when he proposed a bill aimed at bolstering the states indecent exposure laws. He was prompted after a nude bike ride in Missoula, Montana, made clear that the indecent exposure laws in the city were, well, bare.


When asked by a reporter what clothing he found indecent, Moore singled out the popular stretch trousers - and made a social media stir. (The law has been delayed for now.)

It is not the first time the clothes have faced banishment - several US schools have made yoga pants against the dress code, along with other tight-fitting women's clothing like leggings and skinny jeans. Administrators cite the clothing as distraction.

From your perspective, should yoga pants be banned from public?
