V Style Guide: What to Wear to Pilates
...
This is no ordinary workout. Initially adopted—enthusiastically—by the dance community, Pilates has become the do-it-all workout, favored for body-sculpting with low impact and intentional movements that give the practitioner a unique understanding of his or her anatomy.
Vuori ACTV Club instructor, Remy Kam filled us in on why she loves Pilates and some of her favorite Vuori pieces to wear to class. “I've been a Pilates instructor for a little over a year now working at a studio called Bodyrok in San Diego. Additionally, I am a Certified Personal Trainer, and have been a Group Fitness Trainer for over eight years. Pilates is amazing because it prioritizes core and the mind-muscle connection, something I am really passionate about. The technique is slow and controlled, and uses low impact variations to create a safer version of resistance training for anyone with injuries or simply looking to optimize their performance and increase mobility.” This workout has it all—core strength, flexibility and alignment. Your Pilates workout can require special consideration when it comes to your workout clothing. Not to worry—we’ve got your picks so you can feel free while you’re on the reformer, the mat, or working out with a series of props. And of course, we’ve curated a few fits to keep you feeling good when you’re cooling down.
The BlissBlend Set
You’ve never felt a legging quite like this. Our new addition to the line-up is made from our latest fabric innovation, Vuori BlissBlend™. Engineered for superior stretch that’s incredibly airy and weightless. The result? 360° stretch that will help you feel into your workouts and move through your pilates classes in comfort.
The Halo Essential Jumpsuit
Not sure what to wear to Pilates class? Feel confident in this all-in-one piece. Made with our sublime DreamKnit™ and a flawless fit, this jumpsuit is ultra soft and effortlessly wearable.
Remy: "I love the lightness of this material, it feels like you're almost wearing nothing. The jumpsuit also serves as functional because you don't have to worry about anything sliding off during a lot of the lengthened and twisted positions you will do in Pilates. Also for my early risers, this is so easy (and less to think about) to throw on for an early morning workout 😊"
The Elevation Set
The Elevation Collection brings stylish support to your active days. We love the flattering ruched detail, paired with the comfort and support of minimal seams. Try it as your new favorite Pilates pants and tops combo.
The Evolve Set
With just the right amount of shaping support, our Evolve Collection is the new look of winter workouts. A favorite among our team, the V1 Uplift™ performance stretch knit gives this set a super flattering finish.
Remy: "I love the compression and chic style this set offers you. It's also moisture wicking so this is a good one for a heated Pilates option and the durable material is deep squat proof! And honestly cute enough to throw a jacket over and just wear throughout the day!"
Studio Pocket Legging & Daily Bra
This is a power couple, whether you’re on the mat or the reformer. The Studio Pocket Legging is soft, flattering and functional. The Daily Bra in our peachy performance BreatheInterlock™ fabric is an everyday favorite.
Picks to Recover In
The Halo Essential Wideleg
Cool down in comfort with our impressively flowy, wide-leg pants featuring a drawcord elastic waist. The wide-leg silhouette is both timeless and totally right now.
The Halo Crew
The everyday favorite crewneck that stays in heavy rotation. We love the luxe-to-the-touch DreamKnit™ fabric feel combined with performance technology, perfect as a workout-to-weekend staple.
The Performance Joggers
There’s a reason why our performance jogger is a favorite—season after season. With an effortless fit and designed with our softest premium DreamKnit™ stretch fabric, it works in every setting. We love slipping into a pair as we pick up a smoothie after a really tough session on the reformer.
Remy: "The joggers will forever be one of my favorite Vuori pieces, and I am a sucker for the neutral colors. These are great for low impact workouts, stretching, or walking. I also can easily sleep in these and wear them to bed, they're that comfy!"
