Everyone who has ever worn yoga pants has wondered about the genius that invented them. Even though Ryan McLatchy is considered the inventor, there are more people responsible for this product. Ryan McLatchy was the designer of the yoga pants which weren’t tight and stretchy as we all know them today.
They used to fit looser before. However, there are more factors that influenced the invention of yoga pants. Most important of them being the invention of the spandex material which is the core of yoga pants. We have to thank Joseph Shivers for the elasticity of the yoga pants and that they fit so well. He was a chemist who worked with textile and he invented spandex by looking for a rubber material alternative.
