SIRIUS — YOGA FLARE PANTS

Yoga (hatha, vinyasa, yin), mat Pilates, barre, and gentle stretching. The flare cut, widened from the knee, allows for free hip openers and seated twists without hindering lunges. For running or HIIT, opt for tight leggings that won't catch your feet. For Reformer Pilates, the fitted leg at the hips/thighs won't get tangled in the springs.

Yes, it's even an asset. The fitted cut at the hips/thighs then flared creates an hourglass line that balances a figure with generous hips. The 11 cm high waistband gently sculpts the waist without digging in. If you are between two sizes, base your choice on hip circumference (half-perimeter measurements: 31 cm XS to 39 cm XL) rather than waist circumference.

Inseam measurement (outseam): 102 cm for XS, 104 cm for S, 106 cm for M, 108 cm for L, 110 cm for XL. For 1.70-1.75 m, size S falls perfectly to the floor barefoot. For 1.80 m, size L or XL is recommended. Under 1.65 m, plan for a slight hem (15 €) or wear ALTAIR as a 7/8 length at the ankles, the effect remains elegant.

Yes. The 250GSM weight and Galaya Sculpt knit are calibrated to remain opaque in deep flexion, in malasana (yogi squat), in standing forward folds, and in downward-facing dog. No transparency on dark colors (black, brown, blue), and opacity also tested on light colors (beige, pink) — verified in studio light and natural light, without contrasting underwear.

This is precisely the athleisure use we aimed for. The structured flare drape, the matte (never shiny) peach-skin feel, the non-rolling high waistband, and the absence of visible sporty elements allow ALTAIR to pass as city pants. Pair it with a cropped top, a fitted blazer, or a linen shirt for studio-to-office commutes and post-session lunches.

Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C, inside out, in a mesh bag to protect the bottom seams. Use a mild liquid detergent, no fabric softener — it saturates technical fibers and breaks down the elasticity of spandex. Dry on a hanger or flat, never in a tumble dryer or on a radiator. No need to iron: the flare drape naturally reforms when worn. Expect two to four years of regular use by following this protocol.

No. The 11 cm high waistband is constructed with a double layer and a flat internal elastic, anchored below the floating ribs. It does not roll in forward bends, does not fall down in downward dog, and does not dig in while seated. If you notice a "muffin top" effect at the waist, the size is too small — take the next size up to respect the 1/2 waist measurement (23-31 cm depending on size).

Yes. The Galaya Sculpt™ knit is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, a protocol that excludes over 350 chemicals of concern (heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalates, azo dyes). The factory is also BSCI audited, which guarantees that the working conditions of operators are independently verified. Two certifications absent from most mainstream flare yoga pants.

The Beyond Yoga Spacedye Flare offers a comparable drape but a more jersey-cotton feel and a lighter weight, less squat-proof. The Alo Airlift is very tight on the thighs, tighter than ALTAIR, and leans more towards a sporty look than studio-to-street. ALTAIR balances both: 250GSM opacity like Beyond, matte editorial finish like Alo, OEKO-TEX certification absent on both references, at an accessible price.
