Outdoor yoga is one of my favourite fall activities — yes, it even tops pumpkin picking. The beautiful foliage and the crisp air make for a refreshing, soothing practice, and I don't have to worry quite as much about getting overheated after just one Sun Salutation.
But outdoor yoga in the chillier weather does call for a small edit to my workout wardrobe — in my opinion, lots of layering, cosy fabrics, and long sleeves are all essentials. Ahead, see the 11 items I'm eyeing for all of my fall flows.
Beach Hours Resort Python Highrise Leggings
Found: your new favourite leggings for fall. Trade in your summer tie-dye shorts for the
Beach Hours Resort Python Highrise Leggings [1] ($50).
The EleVen by Venus Williams Absolute Long Sleeve
When the Downward Dogs start flowing, you'll want a formfitting, long-sleeved shirt that doesn't fall over your head, so add the EleVen by Venus Williams Absolute Long Sleeve [2] ($69) to your fall workout wardrobe. The top is made with a four-way stretch, quick-dry, breathable fabric that's actually perfect for all outdoor activities.
Girlfriend Collective High-Rise Pocket Bike Short

Everlane The Perform Bra
The brand's first sports bra, the Everlane Perform Bra [5] ($32) is touted as being sweat-wicking, ultracomfortable, and supportive, as well as offering lightweight compression, so you can wear it to your outdoor socially distant yoga workout — then all day after!
Nike Women's Infinalon Cropped Tank
The high neck is what makes the Nike Women's Infinalon Cropped Tank [6] ($55) stand apart from all the rest — giving you a perfect excuse to buy yet another workout top.
Caraa Sport 5-Pack Universal Masks
If you're planning on taking as many socially distant outdoor yoga classes as possible before it gets cold, you'll want to invest in a set of washable masks. Thanks to the wire nose piece, the breathable Caraa Sport 5-Pack Universal Masks [7] ($25 for five) stay put and won't slide around — there are even little toggles so you can adjust the elastic behind your ears. They're also available in a ton of different colours.
Old Navy Lightweight French Terry Split-Back Sweatshirt
The Old Navy Lightweight French Terry Split-Back Sweatshirt [8] ($25, originally $30) features long drop-shoulder sleeves so you can show off the straps of your favourite workout tank or sports bra underneath.
GapFit Blackout Stripe 7/8 Leggings
So you have one too many pairs of plain black leggings? Spice it up (a little) with the striped GapFit Blackout Stripe Leggings [9] ($56, originally $70) instead.
Alo Yoga Gather Long-Sleeve Top
The Alo Yoga Gather Long-Sleeve Top [10] ($58) features pretty cinched detailing on the sides, while the cropped cut will go perfectly with your favourite high-waisted leggings, too.
Lululemon Oh So Sherpa Half Zip
Chances are, you'll wear the Lululemon Oh So Sherpa Half Zip [11] ($138) way more than just on your yoga mat — read: all the time. But when you do plan to work through a flow, zip it up to stay toasty on your walk over to the park or simply during those first few warmup poses in your practice.
