"I guess @united not letting women wear athletic wear?" Watts tweeted to her more than 32,000 followers. Related: Standby travel: Not for the faint of heart United's initial response -- that it "shall have the right to refuse passengers who are not properly clothed" -- exacerbated the confusion and anger online. Many asked whether the airline was saying that it could deny service to paying customers just because they wore yoga pants. "Leggings are business attire for 10 year olds. Their business is being children," tweeted actress Patricia Arquette. Hours later, the airline clarified its response. It tweeted that the passengers who were flying "were not in compliance with our dress code policy for company benefit travel." On Sunday evening, a United spokesman clarified what had transpired at the gate. Two groups were traveling separately on the Minneapolis to Denver flight on Sunday morning. The first group of three traveling on a travel pass through United's company travel perk program included two teenage girls wearing leggings who attempted to board the flight, according to Jonathan Guerin, a spokesman for United. The two teenagers, whose ages were not identified by the airline, were notified by a female gate agent that their mesh yoga pants leggings violated the travel pass dress code. There was "no uproar, no tears" and the teenagers left the gate area without incident, according to Guerin. A second group in line behind the teenagers, including a younger girl also wearing leggings, is believed by United to have seen the exchange between the gate agent and the teenagers who were denied boarding, according to Guerin. A woman in the party took a dress out of the party's carry-on luggage to cover the younger girl. Guerin said there was no exchange between the family with the younger girl and the gate attendant nor was there any mention of the dress code to the family, which was believed to be flying on a regular ticket. They departed on the flight to Denver. Guerin also said there was no discussion of what had transpired between Watts and the gate agent. The longstanding policy requires those who enjoy the perks of airline employment, which include free travel passes for family and guests, to present themselves in a way that represents the airline well. According to the policy, which was provided to CNNMoney by a United employee, "pass riders" aren't allowed to wear clothing that doesn't look "neat and professional." That includes form-fitting lycra or spandex tops, pants and dresses, offensive or derogatory words or graphics on clothing, "excessively dirty" clothing that has holes or tears, or anything that is "inappropriately revealing." "Pass riders should use good judgment and common sense" about items not explicitly on their list, according to the policy. And it says mesh yoga pants dress attire for those using the perks "should always meet or exceed the casual standards" of the flying public. United tweeted back at critics of its rule, including Arquette, to clarify that "leggings are not inappropriate attire except in the case of someone traveling as a pass rider." But others weren't convinced the policy had merit. "We here at @united are just trying to police the attire of the daughters of our employees!" read a sarcastic tweet from actor and comedian Seth Rogen. "That's all! Cool, right?"

A new pair of pants, called the Dress Pant Yoga Pants, are in production and ready to ship in February. Marketed as an "office appropriate yoga pant" the pants, like traditional yoga pants, are made of rayon, nylon and spandex. Unlike traditional yoga pants, they have a straight-leg cut, faux zippers, a non-functional button at the waist and belt loops. But is there such a thing as office-appropriate yoga attire? Sarah James, creator of the pants for the San Francisco-based company Betabrand, says yes. "I feel we're intervening before things get too casual," she said. "I see people wearing their yoga pants everywhere, even the office. But here you're wearing comfortable clothes but still look good." James came up with the idea after the huge success of the company's Dress Pant Sweatpants (and matching suit jacket) for men. Yes, that's a man's suit made of sweatpants material. Betabrand uses crowd funding to gauge the potential success of a product. Early adapters can invest their money in a product and if it reaches best yoga pants its goal, they can get that product at a significant discount. If the product doesn't reach its goal, the people who invested get their money back. In this case, the earliest adapters received a 30 percent discount. Dress Pant Yoga Pant has exceeded its original goal by 552 percent. And, said James, the pants have gotten more comments and feedback than any other product on the Betabrand site. "We have a strict no-yoga-pants rule as part of our dress code," wrote one woman. "Belt loops are a must. The pockets and even a real zipper would help deceive 'the man' and allow me to sport these awesome yoga-dresspants!" And while comfortable pants seems to be a trend -- remember 2013's pajama jeans? -- is it really so difficult for professional people to wear actual professional clothing? Wearing yoga pants to work is "ridiculous," according to Michelle Goodman, author and business columnist. "You wouldn't wear sweatpants or pajamas to work, so why would you wear workout clothes? Yoga pants are not business casual and if you just got back from hot yoga, they probably smell," she said. "Just change into jeans and a nice top or blazer and call it good." The funding for the pants has three days to go. People who order by Friday will get a 10 percent discount off price and pay just $79.20. This holiday season is a good year for electronics.
