What Kind of Clothing Is Appropriate for Yoga?

Yoga requires a certain amount of flexibility, and your choice of clothing needs to facilitate this. At the same time, it’s critical that you’re comfortable with what you’re wearing – there’s often a misconception that the official yoga uniform is tight leggings and a crop top. While this may be comfortable for some, PUMA offers styles beyond this ensemble for all fit preferences.

Yoga clothing should fit well and allow you to access your full range of motion. If you prefer form-fitting clothing, consider PUMA leggings and a matching cropped training top. For those looking for a little extra room in their yoga clothes, try PUMA Studio Women’s French Terry Training Pants.

Or, mix and match with a Studio FT Women’s Sweatshirt paired with Studio Women’s Ultrabare Trend Tights. Complete the entire outfit with our handy Studio Yoga Mat Training Bag, with plenty of room to store your yoga mat and any added extras. The possibilities are endless with PUMA.

What Should I Look for in Yoga Pants or Leggings?

When it comes to choosing a pair of yoga pants or leggings, the most important aspect is fit. Whether you prefer form-fitting tights or a looser pair of shorts, your ideal pair of pants should provide you with security and coverage.

A yoga session typically involves stretching your muscles to their limit and holding particular poses in place for a prolonged period of time. The last thing you want is to be worrying about the fit or opacity of your leggings when you’re trying to connect with your breath.

Each of our product pages has a size guide that includes item information and detailed instructions on how to measure yourself. Product pages also include information on the general fit of the garment — training leggings, for example, are typically quite tight..

Of course, you might also want to consider the appearance and cohesiveness of your outfit. While there’s no need to dress up for a yoga class at your local gym, PUMA’s range of yoga clothes includes a number of matching tops and bottoms that will take your gym fit to the next level.

Should I Wear Shorts or Leggings for Pilates?

The choice between shorts and leggings for pilates is completely up to you. Pilates is quite similar to yoga in that both involve testing your flexibility and movement. With that in mind, most people find they want pants that provide plenty of coverage and protection.

One advantage of wearing shorts over leggings is that they allow you and the instructor to get a good idea of your form and alignment as you move through the exercises. On the other hand, shorts that are too baggy or ill-fitting can turn your focus from your movement to adjust your outfit.

Leggings, therefore, have the added advantage of being form-fitting, meaning they move with you as you stretch, hold poses, and release. For men who want the best of both worlds, consider a pair of M Studio Men’s 2-in-1 Training Shorts, which are packed with plenty of features to help you get the most out of your pilates session.

What Is the Best Outfit for Pilates?

The best outfit for pilates is one that allows you the confidence to give your all. For men, this might require a Studio Yogini Lite Training Tee paired with our Studio Ultramove Training Shorts. Tie the whole outfit together with the Studio Ultramove Men’s Training Jacket for a cohesive and comfortable fit.

Women have a wide choice of pilates clothes, from form-fitting training bras to breathable tank tops. Better yet, combine the two with the Studio Ultrabare Two-in-One Training Tank Top, which features a lightweight tank top paired with a built-in bra.
