Pilates Clothing - How To Choose Pilates Clothing for Optimal Movement

The upsurge of popularity of Pilates has brought a flood of fabulous new Pilates clothing offerings. With so many clothing options, how do you choose the best ones for you? Start with what allows you to move with comfort and ease. After all, if you're going to be rolling, twisting, and inverting, you'll need Pilates clothing with a perfectly contoured fit that has style, too.

Pilates Pants and Shorts
Pilates bottoms come in a myriad of lengths from mid-thigh biking style shorts to longer pants and capris. Whether you like them short and sassy or long and lean, make the ability to stretch in them top priority. Be mindful of coverage too. Really loose and short may have you tugging on them during some exercises and too tight and you won't be able to breathe your way through the ab series. Your Pilates pants should be form-fitting, without excessive material that can get caught in Reformer or Wunda Chair springs. Look for all Pilates clothing to be made of breathable fabrics like organic cotton or bamboo or Supplex/Lyrcra that's stretchy for total freedom of movement.

Pilates Tops
Fitted and fabulous is your objective when purchasing tops for Pilates. Because your workout will see you rotated, flexed and extended during each session, tops call for full coverage. Look for Pilates clothing and accessories that allow you to move with easy fluidity. You'll want the back of the top to be unadorned. Fabric knots, zippers and the like will dig into your skin when you're performing Pilates exercises on your back. Classic racer back tanks with build-in shelf bras or form-fitting short-sleeved tops are usually good bets.

Tops that are too baggy make it difficult to see if your navel truly is reaching towards your spine. Your Pilates instructor will need to check your form, particularly your core. Keep your tops fitted, without being too revealing, and you'll make both yourself and your instructor pleased with your Pilates workout.

Pilates Accessories
Approach your Pilates workout with the bare minimum - fashionable tops, flattering bottoms and footwear if your studio requires it. Accessories have no place in your Pilates workout, particularly dangling earrings or necklaces that could be dangerous if they get caught around your neck or in the equipment. If it restricts your ability to move, leave it at home.
