What the AI looks for in Men's Yoga Clothing
- Liner or compression layer
- Shorts should have a built-in liner, or be worn over compression shorts. Loose shorts without a liner expose you in straddles, happy baby and inversions.
- Stretch
- Four-way stretch fabric, usually a polyester or nylon blend with elastane. Two-way stretch or rigid woven fabric binds in deep squats and lunges.
- Hot yoga fabric
- Choose quick-dry synthetics over cotton for heated classes. Cotton soaks through, gets heavy and stays wet.
- Fit at the extremities
- Hems and shirt bottoms should stay put when you go upside down. Gear that slides toward your face or hips during downward dog breaks your concentration.
Brands that matter
- Vuori: Comfortable men's yoga and training clothing, best known for its shorts and joggers.
- Alo Yoga: Yoga-focused label with a fashion slant and a men's line.
- lululemon: Benchmark for men's technical yoga pants and shorts.
- Under Armour: Widely available training tops that work well for yoga.
- Baleaf: Budget training basics.
- ToeSox: Specialist in grip socks for yoga and barre.
What to avoid
- Unlined loose running shorts with high side splits for yoga
- Heavy cotton clothing for hot yoga
- Baggy tops that fall over your head in inversions
Questions
Shorts or pants for yoga?
Lined shorts are cooler and suit heated classes. Pants give more coverage and warmth, and they protect your knees on the mat.
