What characteristics should Pilates clothing have?

For Pilates, look for garments that offer:

• Body-hugging fit
• Freedom of movement

• Support without pressure

The goal is for the clothing to accompany your movement without interfering.

 

Leggings: the key piece

Leggings are essential in Pilates.

What they should have:

This improves the experience and comfort.

 

What to avoid

• Too loose clothing
• Thin, see-through fabrics
