Your first Pilates class is tomorrow, but you don’t know what to wear! Should you just wear a t-shirt and biker shorts? Tennis shoes? Do you even need shoes? Luckily, you’ve come to the right place to find out everything you need to know. In general, Pilates requires flexible, comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely from one position to another. If you’re still unsure about your outfit, here’s an in-depth guide on what you should and shouldn’t wear to Pilates.
Things You Should Know
- Pilates requires form-fitting, breathable clothing. The ideal outfit is a tank top and leggings, but you can also wear shorts to class.
- To avoid injuries, don’t wear clothes with tassels or drawstrings–they can get caught in the Pilates equipment!
- Men can wear compression shorts under regular gym shorts to avoid flashing the instructor.
- Flexibility and comfort are the most important factors when choosing a Pilates outfit. Make sure you wear clothing that doesn’t ride up during your workout.
