Navy blue yoga pants: 13 Designer Tips Aussie guide

Key features to look for: Check out our quality navy for Australian women.

• 4-way stretch Lycra blend (73% Polyester, 27% Elastane) – wicks moisture 3x faster than cotton
• Dark navy dye saturation – deeper indigo shades hide sweat patches better than lighter navies
• Mesh panel placement behind knees and along the waistband for ventilation

Pro tip: Avoid cotton blends in navy – they show sweat rings instantly. Stick to performance fabrics with moisture-wicking technology like LJ’s Nothing 2 C Here fabric or Stax’s Sweat Shield technology.

In my experience with Sydney’s notoriously harsh water, colour-fading is the #1 complaint I hear about navy activewear. Here’s exactly what to look for:

1. Check the dye process: Look for solution-dyed fabrics (like Ryderwear’s Everlast Navy or Nimble’s MoveLite) where colour is embedded in the fibre, not just surface-dyed.

2. Fabric composition matters: Premium nylon/spandex blends (like 80% nylon, 20% elastane) hold navy dye better than polyester. Cotton will fade fastest.

3. Washing protocol: Always cold wash (30°C max) with activewear-specific detergent like EcoStore or Earth Choice. Skip fabric softener – it strips dye molecules. Check out our best navy for Australian women.

My top picks that survive 100+ washes: Cotton On’s Free Form 7/8 Tight in Deep Navy and P.E Nation’s Form Stash Legging in Midnight.

This is a fit issue I see constantly in my yoga classes. Rolling waistbands happen when the rise height and compression level aren’t matched to your body type.

Quick fixes:

• High-rise is essential – Look for 9-11cm waistbands that sit above your natural waist
• Silicone grip strips – Brands like Lorna Jane and Stax add internal silicone dots that grip skin
• Compression level – Medium compression (20-30mmHg) prevents sliding without muffin top

For curvier Australian women (size 12+), I recommend Nimble’s High Rise Pocket Legging in Navy – the 12cm waistband with internal drawcord stays put through headstands. Petite frames do better with Cotton On’s Low Impact Yoga Legging which has a 7cm waistband that won’t overwhelm shorter torsos.
