What should I wear for Pilates?

The ideal Pilates outfit should be something you forget you're wearing during your session. It should move with you, stay in place, and allow you to monitor your posture without causing any discomfort. Here are the essential criteria for choosing suitable pieces.

Prioritize a stretchy material

Pilates involves a series of flexions, extensions, rotations, and floor positions. A supple, stretchy material makes these changes in range of motion easier. It should follow the body without being overly compressive or becoming transparent when the fabric stretches.

Choose a fitted cut, without being restrictive

A close-fitting cut makes it easier to check the alignment of your legs, pelvis, and back. It also prevents loose clothing from shifting during inversions or floor-based movements.

The goal is not to wear something overly tight: you should be able to breathe deeply, raise your arms, and bend your legs without restriction.

Why choose a high-waisted fit?

High-waisted leggings or shorts provide a feeling of support and reduce the need for adjustments during your session. Ensure the waistband remains comfortable when you are sitting, lying down, or bending.

Crop top, sports bra, or t-shirt?

The right top depends on your preferences. A fitted crop top stays in place and creates a coordinated look with the bottoms. A sports bra may be suitable for dynamic sessions, while a close-fitting t-shirt offers more coverage. In any case, avoid bothersome seams or accessories for when you are lying down.

Choosing the right size

Always consult the guide provided on the product page and measure your bust, waist, and hips without pulling the tape measure tight. If one of your measurements falls between two sizes, it is generally best to choose the larger size for more comfort.

Create an outfit that reflects your style
