Many of your exercise classes may be taking place at home, but that doesn't mean you can't still have fun with your workout wardrobe. Plus, if you are doing a specific kind of workout [1], there are practical considerations to keep in mind when getting dressed to ensure comfort and even safety.
For Pilates [2], you may need socks that won't slip on your mat and clothing that strikes the perfect balance of stretchy and supportive. Check out our top picks for gear that will keep you feeling cute and comfy next time you hit play on your favourite online Pilates class.
Alo Yoga High-Waist Electric Leggings
The Alo Yoga High-Waist Electric Leggings [4] ($138) are made with the brand's signature sculpting Airbrush fabric and extra stretch built in, so they move with your body. The stylish ribbed design will look great for your workout and for running errands before or after.
Tavi Noir Savvy Grip Socks
If you like to wear socks during Pilates, picking a pair with a grippy bottom to prevent slipping is super important. These Tavi Noir Savvy Grip Socks [5] ($12), sold by Athleta, are a good basic option.
Fabletics Briella Macrame Sculptknit Long-Sleeve
The small cut-outs in the Fabletics Briella Macrame Sculptknit Long-Sleeve [6] ($49) make this piece a breathable option in spite of the long sleeves.
Beyond Yoga Spacedeye Caught in the Midi High Waisted Leggings
Let's be honest — leggings are the ultimate Pilates wardrobe staple. Even if you typically prefer looser workout clothes, it is a good idea to consider form-fitting clothing for Pilates, especially if you are using equipment. The Beyond Yoga Spacedeye Caught in the Midi High Waisted Leggings [7] ($97) are best-sellers and come in tons of different colours.
A.L.C. x Bandier Scoop Neck Bralette
Since your class will likely involve being on your back at some point, you might want to avoid tops with tie backs or other embellishment. The snakeskin print of this A.L.C. x Bandier Scoop Neck Bralette [8] ($98) adds some fun to a simple silhouette.
Nike Swoosh Sport Headbands
Keep your hair out of your face with this 6-pack of Nike Swoosh Sport Headbands [9] ($19). You can choose between a black-and-white pack or one with assorted colours.
Glossier Nalgene Water Bottle
Glossier's custom Nalgene Water Bottle [10] ($15) has a cute floral design in the brand's famous Millennial pink shade, so you can hydrate in style.
CultureFit ZigZag Leggings
Again, you can never have too many pairs of leggings when it comes to Pilates. The CultureFit ZigZag Leggings [11] ($55) are fashionable and functional, with a wide, supportive waistband and moisture-wicking fabric.
Girlfriend Collective Bike Unitard
One-piece exercise outfits are totally trendy right now, and the Bike Unitard [12] ($78) from sustainable, cult-favourite brand Girlfriend Collective comes in a wide range of sizes and colours. The built-in sports bra and compression fabric add extra support.
Pink Riot Crop Top by Rochelle Porter
A fitted tank is the perfect comfortable top for a Pilates class. We love the bright colours and geometric pattern of this Rochelle Porter Pink Riot Crop Top [13] ($32).
