What to Wear to Yoga for Men

Emily LambeChoosing the right yoga outfits for men
Whether you’re settling into a relaxing child’s pose or challenging yourself to master the crow, the right yoga outfit can really help your flow. Light, breathable fabrics with comfortable stretch are essential for flexibility so you can tackle everything from warrior to cobra.
Look for lightweight tops with moisture-wicking fabrics to keep you cool and elasticated shorts or joggers without zips or buttons that could press into your skin. Most practices are done barefoot, but you’ll need a supportive pair of cotton socks for going to and from the studio.
Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in, allowing you to move freely to support your practice.
Finding the best men’s yoga shorts
The perfect pair of yoga shorts can be a little tricky to find. You need stretch and movement as well as support and coverage. These double-layered shorts could be just what you're looking for.
The genius bottom layer clings to the body while the top layer is loose and airy for the best of both worlds. Available in four colours, they’re also sweat-wicking, quick drying and antibacterial, so they stay fresh, no matter the intensity of your practice.
The best yoga clothes: tops and layers
Light layers are key for your yoga outfit as you’ll get warmer throughout the practice. A seam-free tank top or T-shirt with a breathable membrane is your best bet, so nothing irritates your skin. For added warmth, a half-zip sports top is great to throw over as the adjustable neckline keeps things flexible.
You may want to wear a cosy pair of jersey joggers and a sweatshirt for warming up, cooling down and heading out of the studio at the end of the session. Pack up all your gym bag essentials, like a water bottle and towel, and you’re good to go.
